Pop superstar Taylor Swift reportedly celebrated her bachelorette party at her Rhode Island mansion over the weekend, coinciding with the bachelorette festivities of Gabbriette Bechtel, fiancée of Swift's ex-boyfriend Matty Healy. However, a source close to Healy has dismissed speculation of a feud, characterizing Swift and Healy's past relationship as merely a "hookup."
Bechtel, an Instagram model and former punk rock singer, celebrated her upcoming marriage to Healy with a trip from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. Her bachelorette party included a private jet, an Elvis impersonator, and attendance at Dita Von Teese's show at The Venetian Resort. Bechtel documented aspects of her trip on social media, showing decorations including balloons that read "Mrs. Healy" and her attire, which featured a vintage white Chanel skirt suit.
Swift's rumored bachelorette party took place at her beachfront home in Watch Hill, Rhode Island. Reports indicated a significant security presence, with SUVs seen departing the property and a fireworks display observed from a nearby venue.
The source emphasized that the simultaneous timing of the parties was a complete coincidence and that Swift and Healy's relationship was not serious. Swift and Healy's rumored romance began in May 2023, shortly after Swift's long-term relationship with actor Joe Alwyn ended. This fling with Healy reportedly concluded by June 2023, with sources stating their "casual" romance had "run its course" with no drama.
Speculation about lingering tension between Swift and Bechtel has been fueled by social media activity and lyrical interpretations from Swift's 2024 album, "The Tortured Poets Department," which is widely believed to be inspired by her relationship with Healy. Some fans interpreted songs on the album as references to Healy and Bechtel. Conversely, Bechtel and her friends have been accused by fans of making subtle jabs at Swift, including perceived criticisms of Swift's makeup or songwriting styles.
Healy and Bechtel began dating in September 2023 and announced their engagement in June 2024. Swift became engaged to NFL player Travis Kelce in August 2025. Reports have also surfaced regarding Swift and Kelce's wedding plans, including speculation about a July 3 ceremony at Madison Square Garden.
Healy's mother, Denise Welch, has previously commented on Swift's career, stating she was glad to have "lost" the role of Swift's mother-in-law and defending Bechtel. She has also dismissed speculation about the bachelorette parties being linked.
