Matty Healy is reportedly feeling unsettled by Taylor Swift’s new song, as he’s uncomfortable with the focus being placed on their past relationship. Following the end of Swift’s six-year relationship with Joe Alwyn, the pop star briefly dated the frontman of The 1975 for a couple of months.
Their brief romance concluded in June 2023, after which Matty began dating model Gabbriette Bechtel in September 2023, the same month Taylor began seeing Travis Kelce.
An insider informed Us Weekly that Matty is uneasy about the renewed attention on his relationship with Taylor, particularly since he’s currently in a new relationship.
Although Taylor’s songs like “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” and “I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)” are rumored to be about Matty, he reportedly felt “relieved” about the album’s release.
While Matty has grappled with the challenges of being in the public eye, sources mentioned to the outlet that the last thing he needs is for fans to perceive him as a villain.
Furthermore, Matty’s aunt, Debbie Dedes, disclosed to Daily Mail that he won’t be caught off guard by the song, as both he and Taylor are aware of their past. She added that it’s not surprising for Taylor to write songs about her exes.
