“Oh, I knooow her!” The concert was brilliant. Meeting Matty was perfect and his reaction to me asking him to sign my @taylorswift polaroid was FABULOUS. Such a great day. ✌️

November 29, 2014: A fan details her encounter with Matty, who signed his name to one of Taylor's 1989 polaroids. (see the polaroid here)

First OMG your blog is amazing I checked it because of your matty autograph post. What exactly was his reaction to him signing a taylor picture LOL I want details! So cute I wanna do that! Except bring my 1989 shirt for him to sign

Thanks! Haha it was super funny! He was walking away because his signing time was up and it actually caught his eye and he stopped and was like “What’s this?! Oh, I KNOOOW her!” And then his manager sarcastically asked “Who is that?” And MATTY gave him this really sly look 😏. So he signed it with a heart (which he hadn’t been doing) and handed it back smiling.

It was exactly the reaction I was hoping for. :)

"I love The Blue Nile. Have you ever heard that band? No? Everyone says that to me. Everyone says they've never heard of them. Band from the late '80s called The Blue Nile. The leader singer, the frontman, was a guy... is a guy called Paul Buchanan and it was actually funny how I heard of them a couple years ago. Jessie Ware came over to me. I went to see her live and she came over to me and said, 'I love your band. You love The Blue Nile, don't you?' And I was like, 'No, I don't know what you're talking about'. And she was referencing the fact that what she believed was all of my melodic influences came from that band and I thought that was very strange, and I listened to it. Anyway, two years later, I'm obsessed with The Blue Nile. There's an album called 'Hats' by The Blue Nile. And I think it's... it's one of the best albums of all time. Just in the way that it works and how theatrical it is, and how beautiful it is, and... you can hear so much of The 1975 on that album. So, I'd say that album, at the moment, is a very... is a massive influence on us. Massive."
