And now the Grammy Award winner's newest album has been added to the list, according to the Official Charts Company.The album, rumoured to contain nods to her ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn, reportedly became the first to achieve more than 300 million streams in a single day on Spotify upon its release on April 19, reports the Mirror.

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

Matt Healy, frontman of the band The 1975 and son of Loose Women's Denise Welch, has responded to the so-called "diss track" on Taylor Swift's album which is rumoured to be all about the singer.The musician, 35, briefly dated singer-songwriter Taylor back in June 2023, and her album track The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived is believed to be about their romance. The album, The Tortured Poets Department, became the most-streamed album in a single week on streaming service Spotify following its release on Friday, and rumours about who she's been writing about have been swirling on the internet.

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.

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.

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

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 shared the trailer for her upcoming ‘Fortnight’ music video, which will also star Post Malone.Earlier this morning (April 19), Taylor Swift revealed the trailer for the ‘Fortnight’ music video, which is due to arrive on 8pm ET on April 19, or 1am UK time on Saturday morning (April 20).A post shared by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift)Judging from the trailer, the full music video will seeming be in black and white, except for embers and flames. The trailer sees Swift and Post Malone dramatically searching through files, throwing things and emotionally embracing on the road.The teaser comes just hours after Swift announced the track as the first single for her new album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’.

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.

Taylor Swift is embodying first the Everygirl, then the Everywoman — the Miss Americana in them all, from era to era.Beyoncé is a goddess, Taylor is a real life human — just like us.But there’s a moment on “The Tortured Poets Department” — the insanely anticipated 11th studio album by the Queen of the Swifties — when she embraces her power as the most famous, the most influential woman in America, if not on the planet.It occurs on “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” — one of two tunes that Swift wrote by herself with that wicked pen of hers.“I was tame, I was gentle/’Til the circus life made me mean/Don’t you worry folks, we took out all her teeth/Who’s afraid of little old me?/Well you should be,” she sings in the rumbling revenge song that brings some menace to the melody.And you can bet that Swift’s most recent exes — the 1975 frontman Matty Healy and, especially, British actor Joe Alwyn — have been quaking in their boots ever since the pop superstar announced “The Tortured Poets Department” after winning Best Pop Vocal Album for 2022’s “Midnights” at the Grammys in February.Sure enough — there is plenty of “Bad Blood” spilled on Swift’s latest.

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.
