Although Taylor Swift has never confirmed the meaning of the songs or her references to her ex-lover in her latest studio album, fans believe that some songs like “But Daddy I Love Him “, “Down Bad” and “The Tortured Poets Department” are referring to the relationship with Matty Healy – leader of the band The 1975.
According to Us Weekly, at first Matty Healy was ” completely surprised ” to learn that some of the songs on Taylor Swift’s new album were about him. However, after that, the male artist felt ” amused “.
A friend of Matty Healy shared with the media that the singer liked the attention that his album “The Tortured Poets Department” brought him. This shows that Matty is not at all bothered or upset about being the subject of Taylor Swift’s music. However, The 1975 member felt funny because their relationship was never as serious as what Taylor showed.
Besides, Matty Healy was also surprised when Taylor Swift’s lyrics mentioned getting married or starting a family. The source said the story about the baby stroller and the plan to live together were never mentioned during the two artists’ short relationship. However, Matty Healy is still taking everything calmly.
The relationship between Taylor Swift and Matty Healy did not receive support because The 1975 leader repeatedly got into trouble. Romance rumors arose in early May 2023 after Matty appeared on “ The Eras Tour” in Nashville. However, just a month later, the two went their separate ways.
