Matty Healy Calls Himself a ‘Poet' at Glastonbury More Than a Year After Taylor Swift Dropped ‘TTPD'
Matty Healy used The 1975's set at Glastonbury 2025 to share a speech that many connected to Taylor Swift. On Friday, June 27, The 1975 took the stage at Worthy Farm in the band's first and only performance of the year. In a video shared on X by Variety, the band's frontman, 36, could be seen holding up a pint of what appeared to be Guinness as he addressed the audience. 'I want to be sincere for a second with everybody,' Healy began. 'What this moment is making me realize is that… I probably am the best — I'm probably the best songwriter of my generation.' 'The best — what do we say? A poet, ladies and gentlemen, is what I am,' he continued. 'Generational wordsmith, and I just wanted to remind you in the next couple of minutes, these lyrics is poetry. I bleed for you.' According to NME — who reported that Healy's speech came before the band performed their 2013 single 'Chocolate' — the musician later said, 'I was only joking about being a poet.' Many have speculated that Healy served as inspiration for several songs on Swift's 2024 album, The Tortured Poets Department, including 'But Daddy I Love Him,' 'Down Bad' and 'The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived' — just to name a few. The pair, who were first linked in 2014, sparked dating rumors again in May 2023 when they were photographed holding hands in New York City — just months after Swift, 35, made a surprise appearance at The 1975's concert in London. They reportedly split up in June 2023. Though neither Swift or Healy have confirmed the rumors, in April 2024, Healy was asked about the album — which dropped that same month — and appeared unfazed as he told TMZ, 'I haven't really listened to that much of it, but I'm sure it's good.' That October, however, he touched on becoming a 'way more well-known public figure for loads of different reasons' during an appearance on the Doomscroll podcast, noting that he was no longer interested in using past relationships for inspiration for his music. 'A lot of artists, they become very interested in their lore, or they become interested in the things that have happened outside of their art that people know about, and they want to address that,' Healy said at the time, per Page Six. 'And fair enough, do you know what I mean?' 'I think that that's an obvious thing to draw from,' he added, 'and I'm just not interested in it.' Swift has since moved on with NFL player Travis Kelce, while Healy is engaged to model Gabbriette Bechtel. Solve the daily Crossword

British rock band frontman hints at Glastonbury 2027 slot
Glastonbury 2027 may be almost two years away, but rumours are already swirling about who could be set to perform. One artist who isn't afraid to throw his name in the ring is Bush's Gavin Rossdale, who has said he is keen to return. 'I thought we did quite well when we played there, but we never went back, so it could be time. 'I would love to play Glastonbury. I still remember that show. It's brilliant and it would be 25 years…' he told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column. The band first performed at Worthy Farm in 1999, the same year they performed at Woodstock and released their third album, The Science of Things. Their last appearance at the festival was in 2002, which means that a 2027 appearance at the festival would mark a quarter of a decade since the last time they appeared on stage. The acts bookies think may be set to appear on the Pyramid Stage include Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, and Sam Fender. William Hill also predicts Beyoncé, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Eminem, Chappell Roan, Little Simz, and Fred Again could be in the running. But says the odds are less in favour of the likes of Lady Gaga, Adele, and Harry Styles. Sam Fender 2/1 Ed Sheeran 3/1 Taylor Swift 3/1 Beyonce 4/1 Rihanna 4/1 Miley Cyrus 4/1 Eminem 4/1 Oasis 4 / 1 Chappell Roan 4/1 Little Simz 4/1 Fred Again 4/1 Bruce Springsteen 5/1 Charli XCX 5/1 Harry Styles 5/1 Sabrina Carpenter 5/1 Adele 5/1 Lady Gaga 5/1 2025 saw Olivia Rodrigo, The 1975, and Neil Young headline on different nights across the weekend. Charli XCX appeared on The Other Stage and Lewis Capaldi dropped in for a surprise return to the stage. Raye, Biffy Clyro, Gracie Abrams, Doechii, Beabadoobee, and a debut performance from Noah Kahan also thrilled fans this year. In 2024, fans were treated to Coldplay, Dua Lipa, and Sza, which marked the first time the festival had two female headliners in its over 50-year history. Gavin chatted to The Sun while promoting Bush's tenth album, I Beat Loneliness, which was released on July 18. More Trending The singer chatted to Metro about the album, telling us that it's dedicated to everyone who is going through tough times. 'This record is really dedicated to all of us who have – which is, by the way, everyone – gone through a lot of things, and are just trying their best to manage under all their own circumstances. 'Everybody has their circumstances, and everybody has their histories. So when I write a song like We're All The Same On The Inside, or Don't Be Afraid, those are soothing songs to myself that, in turn, I hope will be inherited by people and taken as theirs.' In the interview, he also debunked a major myth about Bush's name, emphasising that they are NOT named after Shepherd's Bush. Got a story?

Police drop Glastonbury investigation into Kneecap's performance
Irish rap trio Kneecap have confirmed police have dropped the investigation into their Glastonbury Festival performance last month. Avon and Somerset Police launched an official probe into their Worthy Farm set, as well as that of Bob Vylan, whose performance saw singer Bobby Vylan, whose real name is reportedly Pascal Robinson-Foster, 34, lead crowds in chants of 'Death, death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)'. Meanwhile, Kneecap—comprising Liam O'Hanna, Naoise O Caireallain, and JJ O Dochartaigh—led the thousands-strong West Holts Stage audience in 'Free Palestine' chants directly after in their set. It was previously announced that footage was being reviewed by an appointed senior detective to investigate whether comments made by either act amounted to a criminal offence. Now, Kneecap have shared an update, posting a copy of the email they received from police on Instagram. It read: 'I am Senior Investigating Officer for Avon and Somerset Police's investigation into Kneecap's performance at the Glastonbury Festival on 28th June 2025. Following a review of the evidence, I have determined there will be no further action.' Shortly after, Avon and Somerset Police confirmed to Metro that no further legal action would be taken. Their statement read: 'An investigation has been carried out into comments about a forthcoming court case made during Kneecap's performance at Glastonbury Festival on Saturday, 28 June. 'Detectives sought advice from the Crown Prosecution Service during their enquiries and after that advice, we have made the decision to take no further action on the grounds there is insufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction for any offence. 'Kneecap was informed of that decision earlier today (Friday, 18 July).' Police confirmed that 'enquiries continue to be carried out in relation to separate comments made on stage during Bob Vylan's performance.' Meanwhile, Kneecap added in their social media caption: 'One element of the political policing intimidation attempt is over. 'We played a historic set at Glastonbury. Whole area closed an hour before due to crowds. A celebration of love and solidarity. A sea of good people at the world's most famous festival. 'Shortly afterwards we learn of an active police investigation. An investigation that followed after the Prime Minister himself said it 'was not appropriate' we played Glastonbury. 'Walk off stage to the rapturous sounds of good people and into the creaking scheming sounds of the establishment. 'This 'investigation' was reported across the world's media often with wildly misleading headlines. 'Every single person who saw our set knew no law was broken, not even close….yet the police saw fit to publicly announce they were opening an investigation.' They went on to claim the investigation was 'political' and 'targeted'. 'After the media damage is inflicted and seen by millions of eyes – you receive a private email to say there's no evidence and no action – that is seen by two people only,' they added. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 'There is no public apology, they don't send this to media or post it on police accounts.' Kneecap vowed to continue to 'fight' and to 'win'. As mentioned in their statement, PM Sir Keir previously claimed that he didn't believe it would be 'appropriate' for Kneecap to perform at Glasto, O'Hanna, who performs as Mo Chara, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court earlier last month, charged with a terror offence. The 27-year-old, accused of displaying a flag representing Hezbollah, a proscribed organisation, at a gig last November, denied the charges. He will return to court this month. In response to the Labour leader's calls for a ban at the time, Kneecap shared a screenshot from his interview, writing: 'You know what's 'not appropriate' Keir?! Arming a f***ing genocide… [sic]'. More Trending The BBC also announced ahead of time that Kneecap's set would not be broadcast live, with a spokesperson saying: 'As the broadcast partner, the BBC is bringing audiences extensive music coverage from Glastonbury, with artists booked by the festival organisers. 'Whilst the BBC doesn't ban artists, our plans ensure that our programming meets our editorial guidelines. 'We don't always livestream every act from the main stages and look to make an on-demand version of Kneecap's performance available on our digital platforms, alongside more than 90 other sets.' As a result, Kneecap's performance was viewed by thousands via Helen Wilson in the crowd, who went live on TikTok and quickly went viral for her actions, many declaring her a 'legend,' and the band themselves reaching out to her.

Kneecap share update on Glastonbury police investigation - 'We will continue to fight'
Kneecap said they will 'continue to fight' and 'continue to win' as they shared an update on the criminal investigation over their Glastonbury performance last month Kneecap have shared an update concerning the police investigation into their Glastonbury Festival performance last month. Kneecap and Bob Vylan have faced strong backlash for their comments on stage at the festival, which included chants of "Death to the IDF" from Bob Vylan and "F*** Keir Starmer" from Kneecap. Following their performance, Avon and Somerset Police said they were investigating their sets from the Worthy Farm festival. They said last month: "Video footage and audio from Bob Vylan and Kneecap's performances at Glastonbury Festival on Saturday has been reviewed. Following the completion of that assessment process we have decided further enquiries are required and a criminal investigation is now being undertaken. A senior detective has been appointed to lead this investigation. "This has been recorded as a public order incident at this time while our enquiries are at an early stage. The investigation will be evidence-led and will closely consider all appropriate legislation, including relating to hate crimes." We have received a large amount of contact in relation to these events from people across the world and recognise the strength of public feeling. There is absolutely no place in society for hate. "Neighbourhood policing teams are speaking with people in their local communities and key stakeholders to make sure anyone who needs us knows that we are here for them. We hope the work we have carried out, and are continuing to carry out, reassures the public how seriously we are treating Saturday's events. We politely ask the public refrain from continuing to report this matter to us because an investigation is already taking place." Weeks later, Kneecap took to their X/ Twitter page to reveal no further action is being taken against them. The Belfast trio shared a screenshot of the email from the Detective Superintendent. The email sent to Kneecap's lawyers read: "I am Senior Investigating Officer for Avon and Somerset Police's investigation into Kneecap's performance at the Glastonbury Festival on 28th June 2025. Following a review of the evidence, I have determined there will be o further action. I would be grateful if you could communicate this to your clients, an/or advise me of an alternate way of contacting them." Sharing a statement with the screenshot, Kneecap wrote: "One element of the political policing intimidation attempt is over. We played a historic set at Glastonbury. Whole area closed an hour before due to crowds. A celebration of love and solidarity. A sea of good people at the world's most famous festival. "Shortly afterwards we learn of an active police investigation. An investigation that followed after the Prime Minister himself said it "was not appropriate" we played Glastonbury.

This "investigation" was reported across the world's media often with wildly misleading headlines. "Every single person who saw our set knew no law was broken, not even the police saw fit to publicly announce they were opening an investigation. Why open and publicise an investigation into f**k all? This is political. This is targeted. This is state intimidation." They concluded: "After the media damage is inflicted and seen by millions of eyes - you receive a private email to say there's no evidence and no action - that is seen by two people only. There is no public apology, they don't send this to media or post it on police accounts. We will continue to fight. We will continue to win." The Mirror have reached out to Avon and Somerset Police for further comment.

Olivia Rodrigo Embraces the Power of the Red Lip for Glastonbury Music Festival
Olivia Rodrigo borrowed a page from Taylor Swift's beauty playbook for her Sunday night performance during the Glastonbury Music Festival at Worthy Farm, Pilton. The 22-year-old Grammy winner sang a medley of classics from her breakout studio album 'Guts' and her sophomore album 'Sour' on the main stage for day five of the concert series. In true Swift fashion, Rodrigo drew a bold red lip for her on-stage aesthetic, keeping the rest of her makeup clean except for her signature winged eyeliner. The rich red shade on Rodrigo's lips was the cherry on top of her punky aura, characterized by several outfit changes and black platform boots, perfect for stomping. The 'Vampire' vocalist wore a white minidress with an eyelet bodice and lace detailing along the bottom trim and neckline. The ultra-feminine piece was juxtaposed with Rodrigo's favorite fishnet tights and, of course, the knee-high boots. She also donned a more casual ensemble, comprised of Union flag sequin micro shorts and a red and white jersey T-shirt. Meanwhile, her medium brown hair was styled in her trademark loose waves, freshly trimmed just past her chest.

Lancôme is an iconic and timeless brand that promotes beauty from within, and I am honored to be a part of their family.' 'Olivia is an incredible talent, an exceptional phenomenon,' said Françoise Lehmann, Lancôme international brand president. 'She's a person exuding strength and authenticity.
