Taylor Swift fans remain unsure over her latest romantic link, but they're sure her potential new beau confirmed their dalliance on Thursday evening.
The Shake It Off songstress, 33, is rumoured to be dating another Brit in The 1975 frontman Matt Healy and fans are convinced he gave a sweet nod to his new partner during his gig in the Philippines.
Matt, 34, took to the stage in Manila and wooed the crowd throughout, but it was one quick reference that caused a huge discussion within the camps of both musicians' fan bases.
The apparent not-so-subtle nod to the rumours came as Matt belted out the tune She's American.
Quickly taking to Twitter, one shocked user wrote: "DID MATTY JUST PLAYED [sic] SHE’S AMERICAN???? IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DATING RUMORS BETWEEN HIM AND TAYLOR SWIFT????"

The tune, which rarely makes it to the band's setlist these days, was first on an album in 2016.
Further fuelling speculation, Matt quipped: "She sure is" after the first verse of the song.
Ever since the relationship rumour was leaked, fans have been scouring the pair's social media channels to find further clues that they are indeed an item.
It led to a number of comments after an image shared by Matt's mum, Loose Women panellist Denise Welch.

"Taylor just wants to live her life, and be happy," the source added. "She’s told pals Matty is flying to Nashville over the weekend to support her on the next leg of her tour."
