Ever since Taylor Swift broke up with her boyfriend of six years, Joe Alwyn, her love life has been a subject of interest.
While Swift has not confirmed her new boyfriend, she has been spotted with The 1975’s Matty Healy. Healy and Swift have been photographed hanging out together.
Moreover, Healy has been going to Swift’s Era tour concerts and her apartment as well. Many netizens have taken this as a confirmation of their relationship and are not happy with it.
This is mainly because Healy has been the subject of various controversies and scandals. He has made offensive and racist remarks and jokes that netizens have not taken well.
As a result, Swifties all over the world are ready to boycott their idol for dating a racist person. They have launched a campaign called Speak Up Now, using the hashtag #SpeakUpNow, urging Swift to talk about her alleged racist boyfriend.
Swifties are boycotting Taylor Swift with #SpeakUpNow
Users on social media are already circulating an open letter to Swift with the hashtag “#SpeakUpNow” in an attempt to urge her to refute the supposed relationship with Healy. The letter accuses Healy of “actions that contribute to the perpetuation of hatred, stereotypes, and objectification” and asks Swift to reply to Healy’s controversies publicly.
While people have the freedom to make their own decisions and develop partnerships, those who signed the letter are effectively saying that those in the public spotlight must take a stand against prejudice and hold themselves and their colleagues accountable.
They wrote, “Your voice holds tremendous power and right now your silence is palpable. This silence sends a message of indifference, particularly to the fans who have supported you.”
Swift is requested for “more than a mere apology” in the letter. She is asked to utilize her position responsibly and with meaning.
Similarly, Swifties have asked her to encourage empathy and comprehension while advocating for inclusivity and celebrating diversity while inspiring people to join you in making the world a more just and equitable place by opposing destructive concepts.
The news about boycotting Swift’s music was also addressed by DeuxMoi. They took to Instagram Stories to reveal that Swifties were serious about the boycott.

DeuxMoi reported that a source close to Swift defended the singer, claiming she was not reading anything online about her. She is simply focusing on her tour and enjoying it while shutting out news and reports surrounding her.
Swift has not addressed anything regarding her relationship after her break-up with Alwyn. Therefore, if what DeuxMoi said is true, she will not be responding about Healy and his racist behavior anytime soon.
Matty Healy’s racist past
Healy has a long history of controversy, including claims of racism and misogyny. Before 2023, some fans sought to defend the singer, claiming his outlandish conduct was satire.
Such justifications, however, were impossible to make after Healy’s appearance on The Adam Friedland Show in February 2023. Because the episode was extremely offensive, Apple and Spotify removed it from their services.
However, clips from the program continue to circulate on social media, including ones in which Healy can be heard insulting Ice Spice. Ice Spice’s singing career and inspirations were discussed in the podcast by Healy, Mike Mullen, and Adam Friedland.
They then embarked into a racist discussion in which they speculated about the singer’s origin, attempted to mimic her accent, and made other nasty remarks about her race and physique, including referring to her as “one of the Inuit Spice Girls” and a “chubby Chinese lady.”
Healy was also heard giggling and encouraging the host to imitate Japanese accents. Healy apologized to Ice Spice during one of the 1975’s April gigs.
He denied any accountability, stating his statements were misconstrued and apologizing solely because he didn’t want Ice Spice to believe he was mean. Meanwhile, in another segment of the podcast, Healy’s statements got much more unsettling.
He casually mentioned that he was watching pornography from a hardcore site renowned for uploading images of white males sexually demeaning and shaming people of color while relating an event where a buddy walked in on him masturbating after a party.
The website is said to be a virulently racist, violent, and misogynistic website that despises women and minorities.
Mullen and Friedland, the other two guys on the show, acted as if nothing was amiss with Healy’s statements, laughing along with him as he narrated the story, which netizens found disturbing to watch.
In January 2023, Healy and 1975 performed at the First Direct Arena in Leeds as part of the At Their Very Best tour. Things took an unpleasant turn when Healy stole the podium and launched into a racist diatribe.
“I don’t think it’s a racist thing to say…,” Healy stated before his bandmates interrupted him by starting the following song. Many netizens assumed that the singer was about to say something offensive, so his bandmates did not let him speak.
Shortly after this event, Healy was recorded making the Nazi salute onstage at another concert. He performed the motion as he marched onto the stage, saying, “Thank you, Kanye, very cool.”
The lyrics are from the 1975 song ‘Love It If We Made It,’ and they are meant to ridicule Donald Trump, who once tweeted the same lines to Kanye West, who has made repeated anti-Semitic slurs.
Fans supported Healy’s salute, saying it was part of his satire of Trump and Kanye. He did not, however, explain the gesture, making it impossible to grasp his motivations.
Racist charges initially came against Healy in 2020 when he sent an offensive tweet about Black Lives Matter. Just days after George Floyd’s murder, Healy turned to Twitter to express his thoughts, stating, “If you truly believe that ‘ALL LIVES MATTER’ you need to stop facilitating the end of black ones.”
His decision to add a link to The 1975 song ‘Love It if We Made It’ in the tweet received criticism. Twitter users soon pointed out how improper it was for him to utilize the Black Lives Matter movement to sell one of his songs.
After receiving criticism, Healy removed the tweet and replaced it with another, stating that he only included the song because the lyrics discuss racism and other issues in the world. There have been several other instances of Healy being offensive and racist.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Swifites are mad at their idol for hanging out with Healy and ignoring his behavior.

Rob Rausch Confirms New Romance After Historic ‘The Traitors’ Win: ‘I’ve Been Dating for Two Months’
The reality star shuts down Maura Higgins romance rumors and reveals he is currently building a private woodworking project for his new love.
Rob Rausch has a lot to celebrate this February. Just one day after pulling off the ultimate deception to win Season 4 of Peacock’s The Traitors, the 27-year-old reality star has confirmed that his heart is officially taken. During the highly anticipated The Traitors reunion, which aired Friday, Feb. 27, 2026, the professional snake wrangler revealed that he has been in a committed relationship for two months.
The news comes as a blow to “shippers” who were hoping for a real-life romance between Rob and his Love Island alum and The Traitors co-star, Maura Higgins. Throughout the season, the pair’s “flirty faithfulness” was a central storyline, culminating in a shocking finale where Rob betrayed Maura’s blind trust to claim the entire $220,800 prize pot for himself. When host Andy Cohen asked during the reunion if there was any chance for a romantic spark between the two now that the game is over, Rob was quick to shut it down, confirming his status with a new, private partner.
While Rob is keeping his girlfriend’s identity under wraps for now, eagle-eyed fans have already begun the investigation. DeuxMoi recently shared a grainy photo of the reality star out and about in Kansas City with a mystery woman, sparking rumors that his new flame may be a non-celebrity from the Midwest.
In a new profile for The Cut published alongside his win, Rob gave a rare glimpse into how he’s spending his time away from the cameras. The feature noted that the Alabama native is “currently working on a woodworking project for his girlfriend,” though he declined to share her name or how they met. This “private but not secret” approach is a departure from his highly publicized flings on Love Island USA Seasons 5 and 6, where his “villain era” and breakup with Leah Kateb became viral sensations.
Maura Higgins, who was left “gobsmacked” and jokingly called Rob a “snake” after his Traitor reveal, seems to be taking the relationship news in stride. During the reunion, she teased Rob about his “good lying skills,” telling him, “You’re never going to have a girlfriend after this.” Rob countered with a laugh, noting that his current partner actually finds his strategic mind “impressive” rather than terrifying.
As for that $220,800 prize? Rob says he plans to be responsible with his winnings—but not before making things right with Maura. He confirmed during the reunion that he is officially buying her a Hermès Birkin bag as a “betrayal apology.” With a record-breaking reality TV win under his belt and a new mystery woman by his side, Rob Rausch is proving that 2026 is his most successful year yet.

Martin Short’s Daughter Katherine Short Dead at 42: New Details Emerge on Her Final Hours
The entertainment world is in mourning as comedy icon Martin Short faces an unimaginable personal tragedy. After Katherine went MIA for 24 hours, new details regarding a recovered “note” and her final moments have emerged.
On Monday, Feb. 23, 2026, the entertainment community was struck by the devastating news of the passing of Katherine Elizabeth Short, the eldest daughter of comedy legend Martin Short. Katherine was discovered in her Hollywood Hills home following a welfare check initiated by a concerned friend who reported that the 42-year-old had not been heard from in over 24 hours. Upon arriving at the residence shortly after 6:00 p.m., Los Angeles law enforcement officers were forced to make entry into the home, where they found Katherine behind a locked bedroom door.
Law enforcement sources have since confirmed that Katherine died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Homicide detectives who responded to the scene recovered a firearm along with a note left by the clinical social worker. After a thorough investigation of the scene and the 911 audio obtained from the initial call, authorities have officially ruled out foul play. The loss marks a heartbreaking chapter for the Short family, who have navigated significant private trials despite Martin’s long-standing status as one of Hollywood’s most beloved and energetic performers.
In a statement released to the media, a representative for the family expressed their profound grief, describing Katherine as a “beloved soul” who was remembered for the “light and joy she brought into the world.” Katherine was the eldest of three children adopted by Martin and his late wife, Nancy Dolman, who passed away from ovarian cancer in 2010. Unlike her father, Katherine chose a life away from the cameras, earning a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California and dedicating her professional life to mental health advocacy and dual-diagnosis treatment at various prestigious Los Angeles clinics.
Her professional peers have been vocal about the “cruel irony” of her passing, noting that Katherine spent her career as a staunch advocate for Bring Change to Mind, a nonprofit dedicated to ending the stigma surrounding mental illness. Colleagues remember her as a deeply compassionate woman who used her father’s signature wit to put her patients at ease while maintaining a fierce commitment to the vulnerable populations she served. As of late February 2026, Martin Short has postponed several of his upcoming tour dates with longtime collaborator Steve Martin to remain in Los Angeles and grieve privately with his sons, Oliver and Henry.
The tragedy has reignited a national conversation about the silent struggles often faced by those in the “helping professions.” While the contents of the note found at the scene remain private, the family continues to ask for space as they process the “unimaginable heartbreak” of losing a daughter who spent her life fighting for the mental well-being of others. This latest loss for the 75-year-old actor, who has often spoken about the “resilience muscle” he built after the early deaths of his parents and brother, has led to an outpouring of support from his Only Murders in the Building co-stars and the broader Broadway and film communities.

Harlow Jane Is Breaking the ‘Nepo Baby’ Mold and Carving a Legacy in 2026
Born into Hollywood royalty, Harlow Jane once wanted to be a lawyer. See how Patricia Arquette’s daughter became a 2026 indie star in her own right.
In the “Nepo Baby” discourse of the mid-2020s, Harlow Jane stands out not for her famous lineage, but for her initial, fierce resistance to it. As the daughter of Academy Award-winner Patricia Arquette and action star Thomas Jane, Harlow’s entry into Hollywood was anything but a foregone conclusion.
The Great Rebellion: From Future Lawyer to Indie Star
During her early school years, Harlow Jane did everything in her power to distance herself from the “family business.” In a now-famous interview with People, she recalled telling a career counselor in the first grade that she wanted to be a lawyer. “I definitely rebelled against it for as long as I could,” she noted. To a young Harlow, the sets and makeup trailers that her parents frequented were “mundane” and “boring.”
However, her perspective shifted during her time at an arts-focused boarding school. Surrounded by the “eccentric personalities” of fellow artists, she realized that acting wasn’t just a job her parents did—it was a calling she couldn’t ignore. “I can’t live a lie of wanting to be anything else,” she confessed.
Family Dynamics: Arquette and Jane’s Co-Parenting Masterclass
Harlow was born Harlow Olivia Calliope Jane in February 2003. Although her parents married in 2006 and divorced in 2011, they have remained exceptionally close as co-parents. In February 2026, as Harlow celebrates her 23rd birthday, she is often seen at industry events flanked by both parents, a testament to the healthy, creative environment they fostered.
Her father, Thomas Jane, has been particularly supportive. Coming from a family of scientists, he found it ironic and thrilling that his daughter shared his passion for the arts. Meanwhile, Patricia Arquette has praised Harlow as a “deep person” and a “serious actress” who doesn’t rely on her name to get through the door.
Breakout Roles: ‘High Desert’ and Beyond
Harlow’s professional journey hit a high note in the Apple TV+ series High Desert. In a meta-casting move, she played the younger version of her mother’s character, Peggy Newman. To ensure accuracy, Harlow even worked with a dentist to get artificial teeth that matched her mother’s specific dental structure—a level of dedication that earned her critical acclaim.
By February 2026, Harlow has moved into more experimental territory. Following her roles in the thriller Dig and the rom-com She Came to Me, she is currently developing her own independent projects under the mentorship of director Rebecca Miller. Her goal? To tell stories that reflect the “vibrant, weird, and beautiful” world of the artists who raised her.
Why Harlow Jane is the 2026 “One to Watch”
Harlow Jane is successful because she understands the “technical handshake” of the industry while maintaining the “unvarnished truth” of her own identity. She represents a new generation of Hollywood talent that acknowledges their roots while working twice as hard to prove their individual worth.
