Matty Healy Steps Out in LA With Fiancée Gabbriette as Taylor Swift Holds July 3 Wedding

Q: How did the Eras Tour, a refuge from heartbreak, ironically lead Taylor Swift to her marriage with Travis Kelce?

The Eras Tour became the unlikely bridge from Taylor Swift’s heartbreak to her marriage because it directly created the moment Travis Kelce entered her life. Swift has said the tour helped her cope after “two breakups” and gave her purpose when, in her words, “Men will let you down, the Eras Tour never will.” But it was during that same tour, in July 2023 at her Kansas City stop, that Kelce attended the show and tried to give her a friendship bracelet with his phone number. When he failed to meet her, Kelce turned the missed chance into a public flirtation on his “New Heights” podcast, joking about being “butt-hurt” that he could not hand it over. That podcast moment, sparked entirely by the Eras Tour, caught Swift’s attention. She later said they began spending time together soon after and described his approach as a romantic, “John Hughes movie” gesture. From there, the relationship moved quickly from private dating to public appearances at Chiefs games, shared tour moments, and Kelce’s onstage cameo during the London leg of the Eras Tour in 2024. They announced their engagement in August 2025 and married on July 3, 2026. The irony is that the tour Swift treated as a sanctuary from failed relationships became the setting for the start of her most important one. What began as a concert stop and a missed backstage meeting ultimately led to her wedding.

Los Angeles sightings showed Matty Healy walking arm-in-arm with fiancée Gabbriette while Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s July 3 wedding drew celebrities to New York.
Healy, 37, dated Swift briefly in early 2023 after her split from Joe Alwyn, making the outing notable against the backdrop of her high-profile wedding.
Swift later said in her 2025 Eras Tour documentary that two breakups during the tour made her personal life difficult, while the tour itself gave her purpose.
That same Eras Tour also led to Kelce: Swift has said his public attempt to meet her after a stadium show helped start the relationship that ended in marriage.
