Los Angeles, California – Matty Healy, the frontman of The 1975, has found support from a family member amidst rumors about references to their past relationship by Taylor Swift in her latest album. Healy’s aunt, Debbie Dedes, spoke out against the speculation, mentioning that there is more to the story than what Swift has shared with the public.
In Swift’s song titled “The Smallest Man,” fans have pointed out possible references to Healy, including lyrics about a man in a Jehovah’s Witness suit. Dedes defended Healy by stating that both he and Swift are aware of the true nature of their past relationship and are not surprised by any revelations in the song.
Dedes, the sister of Healy’s mother Denise Welch, emphasized that as a family member, she has insights into the situation that have not been publicized. She also mentioned that Healy is currently in a happy relationship with model Gabbriette Bechtel.
Throughout Swift’s album “The Tortured Poets Department,” there are several songs speculated to be about Healy and their tumultuous romance. Despite the public scrutiny that followed their brief relationship in 2023, both Healy and Swift have remained silent on the matter.
Swift’s lyrics in “The Smallest Man” also touch upon themes related to substance abuse, which Healy has been open about in the past. Speculation about Healy’s height is also addressed in the song, reflecting his frustration with public scrutiny.
The album’s title track, “The Tortured Poets Department,” seems to reference Healy’s love for typewriters, a detail that Swift possibly gleaned from her time with him. The intricacies of their relationship, though hinted at in Swift’s music, remain a topic of interest for fans and critics alike.
As Healy and Swift have moved on to new relationships since their brief fling, including Healy’s current romance with Bechtel, the public remains intrigued by the dynamics of their past connection. Despite the rumors and speculation surrounding their time together, both artists have continued to focus on their respective careers and personal lives.
