Taylor Swift's rumoured beau Matt Healy joins singer's opening act on stage on her Eras tour

Rumours of a romance between Taylor Swift and Matt Healy have continued to heat up as he joined the singer's opening act on stage on Saturday.

Taylor, 33, is performing a string of dates in her hometown of Nashville this weekend – with Matty, 34, being spotted in the audience of her gig on Friday evening.

Last night's performance saw Robbers singer Matty join Taylor's opening act, Phoebe Bridgers, on stage with a string of other performers.

Matty and the other musicians wore black and white skeleton tops and trousers as Phoebe, 28, introduced the musicians on stage.

As she called out Matty's name, she said: "Mr Matt Healy" and was met with cheers from the audience.

One fan shared a video of the moment on Twitter and wrote: "LIKE REALLY MATTY HEALY ON STEGE WITH PHOEBE OBSESSED #eras #ErasTourNashville".

Another video showed Matty and Phoebe in a gated off section of the audience as the pair grooved to Taylor's song Shake It Off.

At one point, the Loose Women star Denise Welch's son Matty points to the sky while he dances and clearly enjoys the music.

Matty and Taylor are rumoured to be "madly in love" with it being reported the pair are set to go public with their romance very soon.

They are said to have had to cope with a "lot of Face-Timing" in the early moments of the coupling as they are both busy with their touring schedules.

Speaking to The Sun, a source close to the Shake It Off star said: "She and Matty are madly in love. It’s super-early days, but it feels right.

"They first dated, very briefly, almost ten years ago but timings just didn’t work out.

"Taylor and Joe actually split up back in February, so there was absolutely no crossover."

Taylor and Matty were previously romantically linked in December 2014, when they were both pictured wearing T-shirts supporting one another's musical careers.

However, Matty denied the rumours and said dating Taylor would be "emasculating".

When asked if he feared losing himself in a relationship, the singer responded: "Yeah. Absolutely. And the reason I mention that is because if I had gone out with Taylor Swift I would’ve been, 'F**king hell! I am NOT being Taylor Swift’s boyfriend.' You know, 'F**K. THAT.'

"That’s also a man thing, a de-masculinating, emasculating thing."

However, after making the comments, Matt posted a lengthy string of tweets to clarify his remarks.

The Robbers singer wrote: "Now I may admit to being an idiot on occasion, but I am not a misogynist.

"This suggestion makes me really sad."

He added: "I was for a very short time immersed in a celebrity world that I found confusing and scary. At that time, I had fears of being 'somebody's boyfriend' (remember this is all speculation as we never dated!) before even being recognised for my music or presence as a person in my own right."
