A resurfaced clip showed Taylor Swift’s ex-boyfriend Matty Healy gushing over his love of typewriters and “being in love” with pop stars amid the release of her new album, “The Tortured Poets Department.”
In a GQ interview from 2018, the 1975 frontman revealed that his notebook was one of the 10 things he couldn’t live without.
“Why would you need a notebook if you got a phone, right? It could do the same thing. It’s kind of a fair point,” he said.
While holding up a black journal that read, “Dirty Hit,” on the front, he continued, “It’s not like there is any kind of romance to having a notebook, but I really like typewriters as well. I don’t have one with me because that is really impractical.”
