"Him and her know what went on," she added. Debbie stated that Swift is known for writing songs about her former partners and continued, "I don't think it will come as a shock to him at all." Debbie also told Daily Mail that her nephew is "very happy" in his new relationship and that the family "know a bit more about what went on" with Taylor Swift "than has been in the press". 

According to Us Weekly, Matty Healy's reaction to the songs has been positive. “Matty still thinks very highly of Taylor but we were all nervous about what she might have said on the album,” a source told the magazine, citing that people close to him “couldn’t be happier” with how the record turned out.

Healy is currently linked to model Gabbriette Bechtel. Swift has described the album as capturing a "fleeting and fatalistic moment in time - one that was both sensational and sorrowful in equal measure".


Taylor Swift and Matty Healy's Relationship 

Taylor Swift dated Matty Healy for a few months in 2023. They met first in 2014 but didn't date until years later. According to ET Online, they exchanged phone numbers and publicly supported each other.

“Yeah, we met each other, we exchanged numbers in the same way that a lot of people in this kind of world do and we spoke occasionally,” Matty told Q Magazine. “And she’s the biggest pop star in the world and I’m in Australia. There’s no like, relationship or anything happening. It’s just funny how people really, really buy into that.”

Also, he said that he would never date Taylor Swift as feared losing himself in a relationship. “I feel like I’m not very good at relationships," he said.  But later he ate his words and said that he would not say no to dating Swift. "Let's just see what happens," per E! News. He added, "I mean bloody hell, what am I going to do? Go out with Taylor Swift? She's a sensation, I wouldn't say no."

Last year, Healy was seen attending Swift's Eras Tour hometown show in Philadelphia. And next month, PEOPLE confirmed that they had broken up. "They are no longer romantically involved." "They were never boyfriend-girlfriend or exclusive and were always just having fun," an insider told PEOPLE.  Amidst all these, Swift has detailed her short relationship with Healy in her latest album.
