Noel Gallagher reveals ‘real reason’ behind Taylor Swift and Matty Healy split
NOEL Gallagher has joked that he is behind Taylor Swift’s recent split from Matt Healy.
The Oasis legend claimed that his own feud with The 1975 frontman played a part in Taylor’s decision to end things.
Noel told the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast “Taylor has obviously said, ‘Now look, keep your f***ing nose out of that Gallagher business, or we are f***ing through.
“And he couldn’t help it. And Swifty, God bless her, said, ‘I can’t deal with this s*** because once he’s done with you, he is gonna come after me and I’m not fucking having it. So, I’m sorry, Matty, you gotta go’… Serves him right!”
Matty and Noel have been at loggerheads for some time and often exchange public jibes.
Taylor and Matty split after just one month – The Sun first revealed they were dating on May 4 — a month after she split from actor Joe Alwyn, her boyfriend of six years.
Meanwhile Noel is gearing up to headline PennFest 2023, where he will be performing songs from the new High Flying Birds album Council Skies.
But he admitted he’s still got a bit of work to do, saying: “Well, I haven’t actually started rehearsing yet! I’d be amazed if ‘Easy Now’ and ‘Pretty Boy’ aren’t great live but, as of yet, we just don’t know.”
It’s the first time Noel will be playing in Buckinghamshire, despite having a big connection to the area.
He explained: “I lived there for a long time – Chalfont St Giles to be exact. Might pay my favourite Indian restaurant Milton’s Cottage a visit for a vindaloo!!”
Asked if he appreciates making music and touring more now than when he was starting out, he replied: “100%. Like life itself, one tends to appreciate things more the older and more handsome one gets.”
Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birdswill headline PennFest, Buckinghamshire’s biggest music festival, on Friday 21st July 2023, while Bastille will headline on Saturday 22nd.
Other acts include Artful Dodger, DJ Luck and Mc Neat and Johnny Marr.
