Taylor Swift's 1989 (Taylor's Version) Re-Record Won't Feature Matty Healy, Despite Rumors

Matty Healy's Not Invited to Taylor Swift's 1989 Party

Taylor Swift's 1989 (Taylor's Version) re-record is one of the most anticipated albums of the year, but fans will have to wait a little longer to hear if Matty Healy and The 1975 will be featured on it. A spokesperson for Swift has confirmed that "neither Matty Healy nor [The] 1975 are on this album," putting to rest rumors that the British band's controversial frontman would be making an appearance.

Healy and Swift were reportedly spotted leaving New York's Electric Lady Studios in May, and Healy attended three of Swift's Nashville Eras Tour shows earlier in the month. However, it's unclear if the two ever actually collaborated on any music.

Swift announced the 1989 (Taylor's Version) re-record last month, telling fans that the album "changed my life in countless ways." She also revealed that the re-release will feature five "From The Vault" tracks that were never released on the original album.

1989 (Taylor's Version) will be Swift's fourth re-recorded album, following Fearless (Taylor's Version), Red (Taylor's Version), and Speak Now (Taylor's Version). All three of those albums reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, so there's a good chance that 1989 (Taylor's Version) will be just as successful.

The re-release will be available on October 27, but fans can pre-order it now. There are a variety of different vinyl and CD versions available, including exclusive editions at Target.

So, while Matty Healy may not be on 1989 (Taylor's Version), there's still plenty to be excited about. After all, it's Taylor Swift, and she knows how to put on a show.
