Doomscroll Podcast
Matty Healy might have a bit of “Bad Blood” with Taylor Swift and his fans after a surprising interview… in which he apparently criticized the pop star and her “casual” fling.
The 1975 singer opened up about his upcoming music during a recent appearance on the “Doomscroll Podcast” … and hinted that he wouldn’t be reliving his whirlwind romance with Taylor in the songs.
Check out the clip… While Matty never mentioned Taylor directly in the interview, he did talk about how he’s become “a much more well-known public figure” lately… but the British singer noted that he’s “just not interested” in writing about his “romantic liaisons casual.”
Elsewhere in the podcast, he added… “The idea of making a record about something that happened to me personally and that, by the time I release it, will be, like, two years old – I see people doing that too, and it’s just not interesting.”
It’s safe to assume that Matty is referring to his ex here, given the fact that Taylor wrote many songs about MH on her 11th studio album, “The Tortured Poets Department.”
At the time of its release, Swifties thought the album would be inspired by Taylor’s 6-year relationship with the actor. Joe Alwyn … who split from the singer in April 2023. Shortly after Taylor and Joe’s split made headlines, the Grammy winner was linked to Matty … but the pair’s romance ended in June 2023.
The relationship left enough of an impression on Taylor, however… having apparently written “But Daddy I Love Him”, “Guilty As Sin?”, “Down Bad”, “Fresh Out the Slammer”, “I Can Fix Him ( No Really I Can)” and of course the title “The Tortured Poets Department” about Matty.
While Taylor certainly capitalized on his adventure, breaking several records with ‘TTPD’, Matty said he was interested in making “art pop” and tackling “subjects that (he’s) really interested in.”
He continued… “I’m sure there will be some kind of love song in there. I think so, I’m not in the world of ‘Did you see what happened? kind of thing. I think that’s for other artists to do.”
Matty and Taylor got over their split… with TS teaming up with an NFL star Travis Kelce and MH receiving groom model Gabbriette Bechtel.
