Fans believe Taylor Swift all but confirmed Matty Healy is, in fact, “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.”
On Thursday, Swift kicked off the European leg of her Eras Tour in Paris, introducing an entirely new portion of the show dedicated to “The Tortured Poets Department,” which dropped last month.
While the Grammy winner sang “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” — which is rumored to be about The 1975 frontman — eagle-eyed Swifties noticed her choreography bared striking similarities to Healy’s own on-stage theatrics.

“Taylor Swift marching during the smallest man who ever lived at the Eras concert in Paris and Matty Healy marching in love it if we made it,” one fan wrote on X alongside a side-by-side of the two shows.
The user also pointed out that the “lighting” and “colors” used in Swift’s performance were eerily similar to The 1975’s set design.
