Matty Healy commented on Taylor Swift’s record-breaking double album, «The Tortured Poets Department». The 35-year-old frontman of the band 1975 was asked by paparazzi on Wednesday, April 24, how he would «rate» the «diss track» that rumors are circulating about, which is supposedly about him.
«Oh», - Matty said with a smile, as seen in the video published by Entertainment Tonight. Then he added, «I haven’t listened to it much, but I’m sure it’s good», - and walked away from the videographer.
Last week, Taylor, 34, released her highly anticipated album on April 19. Immediately, fans began analyzing the lyrics of each song and concluded that the track titled «The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived» is about Matty and their brief romance in 2023.
Matty’s aunt, Debbie Dedes, recently told Daily Mail that her nephew «is not surprised by the song».
«Nothing surprises him anymore», - Debbie said, adding, «He and she know what happened. She writes about all her relationships, doesn’t she? I don’t think it will surprise him».
Debbie also noted that Matty’s family knows «a little more about what happened [between him and Taylor] than was in the press». She later added that the artist «Someone Else» is «very happy in his new relationship», - as Matty has been dating his girlfriend, Gabriette Becht, since September 2023.
As for Matty and Taylor, they dated for about a month in mid-2023. They were also linked by romantic rumors in 2014, but they never discussed these speculations.
In May 2023, the former couple was photographed leaving a party together. A month later, according to reports, they broke up, and Taylor started a relationship with her current boyfriend, Travis Kelsey, in the summer.
Although she does not mention Matty in the song «The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived», - fans believe that the lyrics hint at him, especially when Taylor sings: «You crashed my party in your rented car / You said that normal girls are boring / But you were gone by morning / You turned off the stage lights / But you’re still performing».
At the beginning of the TTPD track, Taylor sings: «Was there anything true? / You looked at me with starry eyes / In your Jehovah’s Witness suit / Who the hell was this guy?» In the chorus, she mentions one summer that was ruined by this person.
«And I don’t even want you back, I just want to know, was the point of my shiny summer to rust? / And I don’t like what we had, but maybe someone will pass on / A message to the smallest man who ever lived»
