Taylor Swift appears close to tears in emotional gig amid split from Matty Healy

Taylor Swift sang an emotional break-up song during a live performance days before her split from British musician Matty Healy was made public.

The singer, 33, appeared close to tears as she sang “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever” during a concert in Chicago over the weekend.

“Wondering if I dodged a bullet, or just lost the love of my life?” she sang.

It was later revealed that Taylor and The 1975 rocker Healy, 34, had split following their whirlwind two-month romance.

Swift and Healy began seeing each other following the demise of her relationship with British actor Joe Alwyn, who she dated for six years.

However, a source told US outlet People the relationship was “always casual”.

“She had fun with him, but it was always casual. They are no longer romantically involved,” the source told People.

Representatives for Swift and Healy have been approached for comment.
