Taylor Swift has adopted a "let it all blow over approach" after her rumoured new boyfriend Matty Healy was criticised for his past controversies and bigoted remarks.
According to a PR expert, Taylor "could use her voice to speak out", although her career is unlikely to suffer if she doesn't.
The 1975 frontman has openly talked about the time he masturbated to porn of 'brutalised' women after a party and made headlines for kissing fans at his shows.
Taylor's concerned fans have even launched a #SpeakUpNow campaign following Matty's controversial comments, but the singer herself has stayed silent.
Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, PR expert Kieran Elsby has said Taylor is unlikely to comment and will instead wait for the drama to stop.
"It's a weird one, he's made some appalling comments in the past and it's clear those comments have no place," Kieran said.
"I feel Taylor is a superstar, she could use her voice to speak out, but I don't think she will. I also don't think her career will suffer, after all she never said anything and has millions of fans."
However, the the director of Media Global PR said that could all change if Matty finds himself at the centre of any fresh controversies.
"If Matty was to make new comments (now he is a relationship with Taylor) then that would affect her.
"I think in this situation Matty may be advised by Taylors team to apologise himself, but I get the feeling that that he may not, I feel that they may adopt the 'let it blow over' approach."
Matty has since spoken out about his past comments and insisted they don't "actually matter".
"You're either lying that you are hurt, or you're a bit mental for being hurt," he told the New Yorker.
"It's just people going, 'Oh, there’s a bad thing over there, let me get as close to it as possible so you can see how good I am.'
"And I kind of want them to do that, because they're demonstrating something so base level," he added.
