As overmuch arsenic Swifties would similar to hide it, Taylor dated Matty Healy for a blistery minute. Between her breakup with Joe Alwyn and getting with Travis Kelce, she had a little “dirtbag summer.” (Don’t fto the word fool you; it began and ended successful the outpouring of 2023)
When The Tortured Poets Department came out, it became wide that Taylor had poured her heartbreak implicit the Matty Healy debacle into her lyrics.
Now, Matty sounds similar he’s dismissing what they had unneurotic entirely.

Let’s beryllium superior for a moment. Matty Healy became “a mode much well-known nationalist figure” successful 2023 for 1 reason. It’s the aforesaid crushed that astir radical cognize who Travis Kelce is. Matty became overmuch much celebrated due to the fact that helium and Taylor Swift were spotted together.
This began astir a period aft she and Joe Alwyn ended their semipermanent relationship. Taylor and Matty had been friends since 2014, and things blossomed into thing caller — and worse.

Was Taylor Swift conscionable a ‘casual romanticist liaison’ to Matty Healy?
“So, I deliberation that a batch of artists, they go precise funny successful their lore,” Matty Healy continued during his caller podcast appearance. “Or they go funny successful the things that person happened extracurricular of their creation that radical cognize about. And they privation to code that, and just enough.”

Some judge that he’s saying that singing astir the Matty Healy, Taylor Swift mistake could enactment him successful Swifties’ crosshairs. And that’s true. Most person forgotten him, oregon tried to. But it sounds little benignant than that.
Is that a snub?
After proceeding Taylor Swift determination her heartbreak implicit dating a dumpster occurrence of a quality being who ghosted her, it’s weird to perceive Matty Healy propulsion that helium had a “casual liaison” successful 2023.
Maybe that’s however helium saw it, and those antithetic views are portion of wherefore they didn’t enactment out. Perhaps helium didn’t recognize however earnestly she took things until The Tortured Poets Department.
Or perchance this is simply a snub — pretending that their hookup didn’t substance erstwhile Taylor has spent the past twelvemonth surviving her champion beingness with her caller boyfriend.
Sometimes, radical insult their exes due to the fact that they’re bitter and wonderment what mightiness person been.
