She and Joe Alwyn, her boyfriend of six years and five albums, apparently broke up a few weeks ago :( (https://people.com/music/taylor-swift-joe-alwyn-break-up-after-6-years-together/) Prior to that, she famously dated many people.
To count for this market, before the end of September (about six months from now), there must be at least two credible news articles saying that Taylor Swift is again dating someone (possibly Joe).
Resolves N/A if it turns out they didn't actually break up.
General policy for my markets: In the rare event of a conflict between my resolution criteria and the agreed-upon common-sense spirit of the market, I may resolve it according to the market's spirit or N/A, probably after discussion.

I've let this market sit for longer than I probably should've, so I'll do a poll. This is nonbinding, but may affect my decision.
Based on my resolution criteria and the information linked in the comments and elsewhere, do y'all think the alleged relationship between Taylor Swift and Matty Healy should immediately resolve this market YES?

@Conflux No one voted, so I discussed this more with some swiftie friends. People’s opinions overall weren’t that strong, but my criteria in the market stated that two credible news articles saying that they were dating would count, and here are two: https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/22241851/taylor-swift-dating-matty-healy/ https://www.vulture.com/2023/06/taylor-swift-matty-healy-dating-controversy-timeline.html#:~:text=Eight%20years%20after%20they%20were,felt%20both%20impossible%20and%20inevitable
Now that they seem to have broken up, I’m still unsure if Matty Healy should count. Definitely plenty of articles, but since neither he nor Taylor have confirmed it, they mostly don’t say it definitively. Do y’all have thoughts?
Here’s a pretty detailed relationship timeline for the uninitiated https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a43874381/taylor-swift-matty-healy-relationship-timeline/
May 27:
I’m told that Matty Healy is moving in with his superstar girlfriend Taylor Swift in New York to help write her next album. [...] An insider said: “He and Taylor are so loved up and want to spend as much time together as they can.”
June 5:
According to a friend close to the situation ... Taylor is in fact "single" again
lol at the celebrity rumor mill
@KatarinaFernandez I don’t think there’s confirmation yet, people can be spotted together without dating
“Confirmed” is still in quotes, but…https://people.com/music/taylor-swift-matty-healy-not-just-platonic-spotted-holding-hands-exclusive/
