The 1975‘s Matty Healy was reportedly “blindsided” by how much of Taylor Swift‘s album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ was supposedly inspired by their relationship, but found it “hilarious” because they were “never serious”.It is estimated Swift and Healy were involved with each other from April to June 2023, just after she split from long-term boyfriend Joe Alwyn.A close friend of Healy’s told US Weekly that Healy still has “mixed feelings” about the situation: “He loves the attention it’s brought to him, [but] he also thinks it’s hilarious because at no time [were they] ever serious.”They added that Healy was “blindsided” that Swift’s lyrics made out their relationship to be more serious than it purportedly was.

In ‘loml’, she sings: “You shit-talked me under the table, talking rings and talking cradles,” and “You and I go from one kiss to getting married/Still alive, killing time at the cemetery/Never quite buried/In your suit and tie, in the nick of time.”“For her to be saying things about baby carriages …and living together – he says it had never even come up,” the source said. “He’s taking it in his stride.”It was previously reported that Healy is “uncomfortable” with the attention from the album but was “relieved” it wasn’t worse.Last month, after being approached by paparazzi in Los Angeles, Healy was asked how he felt about his “Taylor diss track”.

While it’s unclear which exact song the paparazzo was referring to, the ‘About You’ singer replied: “My diss track? Oh! I haven’t really listened to that much of it, but I’m sure it’s good.”Denise Welch, Healy’s mother also shared a response after being asked about the album.
