Little-known singer keeps hating on Taylor Swift’s ex Matty Healy for clout

You’d think that British-Japanese singer Rina Sawayama would muster up some new material for her concerts. Instead, for the second time in a month, she took the opportunity to “call out” 1975 frontman Matty Healy on stage, for laughing at a joke somebody else made months ago. How 2023!

During her set at NOS Alive in Portugal on Saturday, Sawayama went on a rant during her performance of “STFU!,” her song about “dealing with microaggressions.” 

“So I’ve been thinking a lot about apologies. Isn’t it funny how some people get away with not apologizing ever?” she said. “For saying some racist shit, for saying some sexist shit? So let’s try this: why don’t you apologize for once in your life without making it about your fucking self?”

Following the backlash to the comments made on Friedland’s podcast, Healy told the New Yorker that he thought the controversy about the episode “actually doesn’t matter” as he believes “nobody is sitting there at night, slumped at their computer” feeling upset because of what he said. Well, it turns out that, for attention, Rina Sawayama is!
