The music world is buzzing with speculation after The 1975 frontman, Matty Healy, commented on Taylor Swift’s latest album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department.’ The 35-year-old singer was asked by paparazzi to rate the rumored “diss track” about him on the album, to which he responded with a laugh, saying he hadn’t listened to much of it but was sure it was good.
Fans have been dissecting the lyrics of the album since its release on April 19, with many believing that the track titled “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” is about Matty and their brief romance in 2023. Matty’s aunt, Debbie Dedes, shared that her nephew is not surprised by the song and that he and Taylor know more about their relationship than what has been reported.
Despite the speculation, Matty has moved on and is currently in a happy relationship with his girlfriend, Gabbriette Bechte, since September 2023. Matty and Taylor briefly dated in mid-2023 and were rumored to have been linked in 2014 as well.
While Taylor doesn’t mention Matty by name in the song, fans believe the lyrics allude to their past relationship, especially lines like “You crashed my party in your rental car” and “You kicked out the stage lights but you’re still performing.” The emotional track reflects on a summer tainted by a person from her past, leaving fans intrigued about the inspiration behind the song.
