HavePhoebe Bridgers and Paul Mescalcalled it quits?
The “Motion Sickness” singer, 28, and theNormal Peopleactor, 26, have been linked since 2020, but fans are speculating that a new set of lyrics from Bridgers may be hinting at a breakup.
Bridgers contributed a verse toSZA’s new song “Ghost in the Machine,” and in the lyrics, appears to reference an argument that took place at The Ludlow Hotel in New York City.
“You said all of my friends are on my payroll/You’re not wrong, you’re an assh—,” she sings. “Screaming at you in the Ludlow/I was yours for free.”

“[SZA] just hit me up, she just sent me a DM,” Bridgers said. “It all happened so fast. I wasn’t really used to that in the pop world, because vinyl isn’t so much of a consideration until way later, it’s just like, ‘Do you want to be on this record? OK, it’s out next week’, which I really like. I like that turnaround time.”
“Gay Poets Society,” Healy, 33, captioned the cheeky post.
Bridgers and Burnham, 32, are also pals, andJezebelreported this week that the two were spotted sitting together at comedian Kate Berlant’s one-woman show, which Burnham directed, in New York City on Monday.

The pairattended the Met Gala togetherin May, and even reunited with Mescal’sNormal Peoplecostar Daisy Edgar-Jones on the red carpet, where the trio posed for a photo together.

In June 2020, the “Kyoto” singer referred to him as “the cute boy” in an interview withNME, and said he’d recently followed her on Instagram.
“I got a little pitter-patter in my heart when I saw,” she said, adding that she then sent him her new album.
Mescalhad a cameo in her “Sidelines” music videoin June, and in September,opened up to PEOPLEabout watching movies with Bridgers.
“We do have the same taste, but it’s also really fun to take your partner to something which is not their world. It’s cool to sit in at theWomen Talkingworld premiere with your partner and get to experience that together and talk about it after.”
