Taylor Swift appears to have confirmed a romance with rumored new boyfriend Matty Healy – she shared a cryptic message on stage in Nashville on Friday night.
The singer, 33, said the words: “This is about you, you know who you are. I Love You while on stage for her US Eras Tour.
Footage of the moment sent fans spinning after they realized 34-year-old Healy had used the exact same words at a concert in the Philippines on May 3.
The 1975 singer was also spotted in the crowd at the Nashville performance on Friday, cutting a casual figure as he watched from a closed area with her close friends.
His appearance at the concert comes after it was claimed Taylor started the new romance less than a month after her split from Joe Alwyn, 32.
Taylor (pictured on stage on Friday) said the words: “This is about you, you know who you are. I Love You as she takes the stage for her US Eras Tour.
Video surfaced of Healy pointing at the camera and saying “I love you” while performing in the Philippines before drinking from a bottle of wine.
The singer grinned as he heard Swift say the same words on the Nashville leg of her tour before performing Cardigan.
He flew in to see the star’s performance, the visit apparently coinciding with her five-day hiatus before continuing the tour in Philadelphia.
Healy has a month-long hiatus in his own schedule, having performed with the band in May and returning to the tour with a gig in Poland on June 2nd.
Swift reportedly fell “madly in love” with Healy after their longtime friendship blossomed into a romance.
On Thursday, it was reported that Matty and Taylor agreed to go public with their relationship this weekend, though she ended up not bringing him on stage.
Matty appeared to be having the time of his life as he shook his shoulders in the audience while Taylor belted out “Shake It Off.”
However, some fans were quick to shut down the romance rumors, with many suspecting the not-so-subtle messages could be a hint of a potential collaboration between the two stars.

Swift sang two 1975 numbers during her London performance in February, with The Sun reporting that Healey was due to join her on stage in Nashville – although he stayed in the crowd on Friday night.
A source told the publication, “Taylor and Matty have been planning their ‘coming out’ for a few weeks now and are really excited to just go public with their love affair.
“None of them want to keep any secrets or hide. The plan is for Matty to come on stage in the middle of the show and play two songs.
“They’ll be chatting to the audience and the current idea is that they’ll confirm their romance with some sort of PDA – public token of love. It won’t be remotely cheesy, however.
It comes as the British hunk reportedly split from model Meredith Mickelson just weeks before his relationship with the Mean hitmaker.
The singer is said to have had a romance with the 23-year-old model, who has garnered a huge following on social media, before they split in February.

Matty (right) and Taylor’s new romance was revealed on Wednesday, but the pair have been friends since 2015 (pictured).
The news of the new romance comes just weeks after it was revealed that Taylor has split from her boyfriend of six years, Joe, 32, after the pair “struggled” with their “career differences”.
But despite the short turnaround, Taylor is said to be “madly in love” with Matt – the son of Loose Women star Denise Welch and Benidorm actor Tim Healy.
The alleged romance with Matt is the latest in a string of British boyfriends for Taylor, who – like her most recent relationship with Joe – has dated Harry Styles, Calvin Harris and Tom Hiddleston.
A source told the publication, “She and Matty are madly in love.”
“It’s super early but it feels right. They first started dating almost ten years ago, very briefly, but the timing just didn’t work out.
The source went on to insist that there was no transition in Taylor’s love life despite news of her split from Joe surfacing last month, insisting the couple had in fact split in February.

Taylor is currently in the middle of the US leg of her The Eras Tour while The 1975 are on their At Their Very Best concert tour, but the source insisted they’ve stayed in constant communication through texting and face timing.
The source added: “As two international megastars, they understand the pressures of each other’s jobs better than anyone and are incredibly supportive of their respective careers.
“They are both very proud and excited about this relationship and unlike Taylor’s last one – which was deliberately kept out of the spotlight – she wants to ‘own’ this romance and not hide it.
“Taylor just wants to live her life and be happy. She has told her friends that Matty is flying to Nashville over the weekend to support her on the next leg of her tour.

“Yes, we met, we exchanged numbers like a lot of people do in this kind of world and we chatted occasionally.
“And she’s the biggest pop star in the world and I’m in Australia. There are no preferences, relationships or anything that happens. It’s just funny how people really, really believe that.
