Um, this is an unexpected reaction!
Matty Healy apparently let out a sigh of “relief” at the release of Taylor Swift‘s The Tortured Poets Department — even though she totally trashed him in several songs?!?
According to an Us Weekly source on Friday, The 1975 singer “couldn’t be happier” with how the record turned out and he’s thrilled with the way his fling with the pop star was portrayed. Really?! The insider dished:
What, like, call out his “sins,” blast him for leaving her “stranded,” or seemingly referring to him as The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived?? She said all that and MUCH more… and Matty was relieved about it? Makes you wonder what he thought she was going to say!!

Apparently, it’s not just the controversial crooner who is happy. His family is grateful for the way the music turned out too:
A second confidant told the outlet that Matty was “really appreciative” of getting a heads-up from his ex’s team about the album, noting he had concerns “the public wouldn’t get the full story.” The source explained:
He was “also very nervous about the Swifties” but is now “happy he can move on with less anxiety.” As for where the exes stand these days? The insider says they “don’t speak anymore” since their brief 2023 fling but insists they “had a strong bond” and he will “always hold a special place for her.” They concluded:
That is certainly evident in the lyrics. But… did he listen to the same album we did?!? It sure seemed like he was made out to be the “villain” — and he took more of a beating than Joe Alwyn. And yet he thinks he was let off easy?
Well… maybe he thinks it paints him more like a cruel “bad boy”? Not like he has a problem with that image!

Taylor Swift’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ has been swamped by Swifties.Swift dropped the album yesterday (April 19), before later revealing that it is in fact a double album, sharing 15 additional tracks. She has also released the official video for the single ’Fortnight’, which features Post Malone.One unexpected side effect of the album’s release has seen hundreds of Swift fans flock to The Black Dog in Vauxhall, South London, after Swift sang about it on the song of the same name.“And your location, you forgot to turn it off / And so I watch as you walk / Into some bar called The Black Dog / And pierce new holes in my heart,” she sings.The song is thought to address her ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn, who lives in the same area as the pub.The staff at The Black Dog are now frantically searching through their CCTV archives to try to find any evidence of either Swift or Alwyn visiting the premises in the past.A post shared by The Black Dog Vauxhall (@theblackdogvauxhall)“This is the Taylor Swift Effect – anything she touches goes viral,” said Amy Cowley, who works at the pub (via the Standard).
Taylor Swift has officially dropped her first music video off of her 11th studio album, “The Tortured Poets Department.”The 34-year-old musician released her new music overnight Friday, with a second batch of songs at 2 a.m., making it a surprise double album.The track features Post Malone and is rumored to be about Matty Healy, as “Fortnight” means a two-week span. She briefly dated the 1975 frontman following her split from Joe Alwyn after six years.“I was supposed to be sent away but they forgot to come and get me/I was a functioning alcoholic ‘til nobody noticed my new aesthetic,” she sings.“All of this to say I hope you’re OK, but you’re the reason/And no one here’s to blame but what about your quiet treason,” she goes on.
Swift dropped her highly anticipated album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” Betches Media shared an Instagram carousel of images with a meme of “Dance Moms” star Abby Lee Miller holding up pieces of paper listing some of Swift’s famous exes.As her current boyfriend, Travis Kelce, was at the top of the pyramid, Taylor Lautner, Harry Styles, Tom Hiddleston, Calvin Harris, Joe Alwyn, Jake Gyllenhaal and Matty Healy followed.Notably, Harris, Alwyn, Gyllenhaal and Healy were the four on the bottom.Even more, Swift “liked” a “Hunger Games” meme that jokingly showed Alwyn as a dead tribute in the franchise. “Every time we get a new lyric the hunger games cannon goes off,” the tweet that Betches Media shared read.Swift actually collaborated with The Civil Wars for The Hunger Games’ “Safe & Sound” in 2012.Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, meanwhile, began dating over the summer.
Taylor Swift‘s fans are always pouring over her lyrics for clues about her personal life, and things are no different with the release of her newest album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” Before her world-famous relationship with Travis Kelce that was debuted this year, Swift had a long-term romance with British actor Joe Alwyn, and then a relatively short rebound with Matty Healy, frontman of the 1975. Most of the material was written and recorded before Swift and Kelce became an item, so he isn’t a key player in the album, although he makes a key late entry, assuming no one else drove her to use football metaphors for the first time.
Taylor Swift has name-dropped a person called ‘Lucy’ in her latest album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’, and fans have begun speculating who it could be.The star’s 11th studio album arrived today (April 19) and earlier this morning Swift announced that it is, in fact, a double album and shared the remaining tracks.Since its release, fans have taken to social media to suggest that the record is about her six-year relationship with actor Joe Alwyn, as well as her brief romance with The 1975‘s frontman Matty Healy.However, it is during the second song of the album – the title track – that one line in particular has caught the attention of fans, as the pop icon goes on to refer to a person called ‘Lucy’.In the song, Swift criticises her partner’s “self-sabotaging” behaviour, and makes reference to him “coming undone” – a line which some fans are convinced is about Healy and his infamous string of controversies.In the track, Swift goes on to recall how the lover in question once told “Lucy” that he would take his own life if Swift left him.“Sometimes I wonder if you’re gonna screw this up with me, but you told Lucy you’d kill yourself if I ever leave,” she sings, also adding: “And I had said that to Jack about you so I felt seen, everyone we know understands why it’s meant to be, because we’re crazy.” In the latter, fans speculate that the reference to ‘Jack’ may be a nod to Jack Antonoff, who is Swift’s longtime collaborator and producer of the album.Ultimately, fans seem convinced that the ‘Lucy’ referenced in the title track is Lucy Dacus – a third of the Grammy-winning group boygenius and someone who has connections to both Swift and Healy.Dacus had a friendship with Healy for years, as did boygenius bandmate Phoebe
