Matt Healy said dating Taylor Swift would be "emasculating" in awkward comments made by The 1975 singer in a resurfaced interview.
Matty, 34, and Taylor, 33, are reported to have fallen "madly in love" with one another – months after the Shake It Off star's split from Joe Alwyn.
The singers are said to be planning on going public with their romance in Nashville, Tennessee this weekend, where Taylor is performing gigs for her tour.
