Matty Healy has given his response after being asked how he felt about Taylor Swift’s newest album
One of Taylor Swift’s ex’s has spoken out after fans insist that some of the songs on her newest album reference him.
Matty Healy, the lead singer of the 1975, has responded to claims that he was referenced on Taylor Swift’s latest album, The Tortured Poets Department.
The pair were reported to have begun dating back in 2023 before reportedly breaking up in June of that year.
In particular, fans speculated that numerous songs referenced him in some way – naming ‘Gulity as Sin’, ‘Black Dog’, ‘Fresh out the Slammer’, and ‘The Tortured Poet’s Department’ amongst a few others.

In the song, Swift sings “You left your typewriter at my apartment / Straight from the tortured poets department / I think some things I never say / Like, ‘Who uses a typewriter anyway?”
And fans believe that this is about Healy due to his comments during an interview with GQ.
In the interview, the singer spoke of his preference for typewriters.
He said: “It’s not that there’s any kind of like, romance to having a notebook, but I really like typewriters, as well.
“I don’t have one with me because that is really impractical, but the thing is with typewriters and writing on pen to paper, there’s kind of an element of like commitment that goes with the ceremony of it.
“Therefore, it requires you to concentrate a bit better.”
So, when Healy was spotted out and about in Los Angeles on Wednesday (April 24) the topic of Swift’s new album was brought up.
He was asked how he felt about the ‘diss track’ and gave a surprising response.
“My diss track? Oh!” he said. Healy then laughed and replied: “I haven’t really listened to that much of it, but I’m sure it’s good.”
The Tortured Poets Department songs Swifties think reference Matty Healy
‘Guilty as Sin?’
Swift sings: “Drowning in the Blue Nile / He sent me ‘Downtown Lights’.”
Healy is known to be a fan of Scottish band The Blue Nile, and ‘Downtown Lights’ even inspired a The 1975 song.
‘But Daddy I Love Him’
This one seems to take aim at Swift’s fans, who continually pleaded with her to break up with Healy during the brief time she dated him.
At one point she sings: God save the most judgmental creeps / Who say they want what’s best for me / Sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I’ll never see / Thinking it can change the beat of my heart when he touches me.”
Tell us how you really feel.
‘The Black Dog’
Swift sings: “I just don’t understand how you don’t miss me / In The Black Dog when someone plays The Starting Line / And you jump up, but she’s too young / To know this song / That was intertwined in the magic fabric of our dreaming.”
Healy is a fan of The Starting Line, and covered the band’s song ‘The Best of Me’ during gigs in April and May 2023, just days before he and Swift were snapped holding hands.
‘The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived’
One fan called this ‘the most brutal song I’ve ever heard’ – the title says it all, really.

The opening reference to a man in a ‘Jehovah’s Witness suit’ seems to be a dig at how Healy dresses on stage.
