Matty Healy‘s mom Denise Welch was asked about Taylor Swift‘s The Tortured Poets Department.

What an interesting week to be Matty Healy!

delivered unto us last week and while the reviews have been an extreme mix, the fanfare is without equal. The Post’s Chuck Arnold writes, “There is plenty of “Bad Blood” spilled on Swift’s latest. And with the raw honesty and specificity of her lyrics, she is clearly in her ‘IDGAF’ era.” Her ‘TTPD,’ era sees Swift take aim at exes and enemies Kim Kardashian, Matt Healy and stand-out British sad boy, ladies and gentlemen Joe Alwyn.

HRH Taylor Swift, the Sagittarius queen of confessional songwriting, sick burns, and exhuming the sins of her exes, is back at it with the release of ‘The Tortured Poets Department,’ her 11th studio album. A meditation on her frayed relationship with British sad boy Joe Alwyn, with lyrical forays into her ill-fated affair with Matt Healy, a beef with Kim Kardashian and a few nods to new dude Travis Kelce, the album dropped on an auspicious day, leaving a whimsical, side-eye giving trail of astrological easter eggs. Can you find them all? Read on and see how you did.The hotly anticipated release comes amid the thick heat haze of Mercury retrograde in Aries, a time when the re- prefix is emphasized and we reimagine the past, revise our self-concepts, and revisit the muck and the mire of failed relationships, to discover the kernels of wisdom buried in the burning buildings of romantic ruin.In essence and ashes, this album is the smoking, stillborn delivery of a doomed love story.

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.

It’s a bad day to be Kim Kardashian right now…

Taylor Swift‘s eagerly awaited new LP ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ dropped in the early hours of Friday with a surprise double album format and 15 additional songs.

Taylor Swift has seemingly hinted at failed wedding plans with Joe Alwyn in her new album, where she also opens up about their emotional split. Rumours started swirling in April last year that Taylor and Joe had called it quits after six years together.

Taylor Swift‘s 11th album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department’, has arrived and fans have taken to social media to theorise what some songs mean, and who the albums was written about.Shortly after the album’s release earlier today (April 19), Swifties took to X (formerly Twitter) to theorise that despite her lengthy relationship with English actor Joe Alwyn, Taylor’s new album is seemingly more about her brief relationship with The 1975‘s Matty Healy. The pair were romantically linked for a short period time in 2023.According to fans, the title track ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ sees Swift reference Healy, with a lyric seemingly describing an ex-lover as a “tattooed golden retriever”.

Taylor Swift has a long history of writing about her exes on her albums — or so we think — from John Mayer and Jake Gyllenhaal to Joe Jonas and Harry Styles.But it’s Joe Alwyn, the British actor who the singer dated from 2016 to 2023, who is the object of the 34-year-old pop superstar’s wicked wordplay for a good — or for him, not so good — part of “The Tortured Poets Department,” which dropped on Friday.There’s even one song called “So Long, London” — a goodbye to the city where they once lived together. And just to show you how deep those Swift Easter eggs can be hidden, that track is 9 minutes and 28 seconds — which happens to line up with when the exes are rumored to have started dating on Sept.

new Taylor Swift album, “The Tortured Poets Department.”There are the exes: British actor Joe Alwyn, with whom the singer was in a six-year relationship until 2023, as well as the 1975 frontman Matty Healy, who Swift briefly dated last year.And the 34-year-old superstar used her powerhouse pen to mark her territory on her gridiron guy, Travis Kelce.But in addition to her current beau, there is another man who gets big love from Swift on “TTPD,” which dropped on Friday.That would be singer-songwriter Charlie Puth, who gets the ultimate co-sign from Swift on the title track.“You smoked and ate seven bars of chocolate / we declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist / I scratch your head, you fall asleep / Like a tattooed Golden Retriever,” she sings.The quote seemingly references her and Healy bonding over their mutual appreciation for the “See You Again” singer during their romance.Puth, for his part, appears to be a major Swiftie. In 2022, a video of him playing her breakthrough hit “Teardrops on My Guitar” for a New York City crowd circulated on TikTok.Healy, however, seems to be the target of more pen venom elsewhere on “The Tortured Poets Department.”Healy — who, before their summer split, was a rebound romance for the pop superstar following her breakup with Alwyn — appears to be the subject of the vicious takedown “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.”“And I don’t even want oil back/If just want to know/If rusting my sparkling summer was the goal,” sings Swift, who caught some flak after Healy made some controversial comments — including racist remarks about the singer’s now BFF Ice Spice.“And I don’t miss what we had,” she continues.

Taylor Swift from seemingly unleashing a wrath of words against 1975 frontman Matty Healy on her highly anticipated 11th studio album “The Tortured Poets Department,” which arrived on Friday.In fact, Healy — who, before their summer split, was a rebound romance for the pop superstar following her breakup with British actor Joe Alwyn after six years — appears to be the subject of the vicious takedown “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.”“And I don’t even want oil back/If just want to know/If rusting my sparkling summer was the goal,” sings Swift, who caught flak after Healy made some controversial comments — including racist remarks about the singer’s now BFF Ice Spice.“And I don’t miss what we had,” she continues. “But could someone give a message/To the smallest man who ever lived.”Ouch.Other fans, however, may speculate the “sparkling summer” line is about Alwyn, as the pair split right before her Eras Tour and “Bejeweled” on her “Midnights” album is seemingly about the actor.There are also hints that “I Can Fix Him” (No Really I Can)” — gotta love that title — might be about 35-year-old Healy.“The smoke cloud billows out his mouth/Like a freight train through a small town/The jokes that he told across the bar were revolting/And far too loud/They shake their heads saying ‘God help her’ when I tell ‘em he’s my man/But your good Lord doesn’t need to/I can fix him/No, really I can,” she sings.Even more, Swifties could assume “Fortnight” might be about Healy as the title is a British English term defined as “a period of two weeks,” which could refer to their short-lived romance.
