Matty Healy may have some “Bad Blood” with Taylor Swift and her fans after one eyebrow-raising interview … in which he seemingly took a dig at the pop star and their “casual” fling.
The 1975 frontman opened up about his upcoming music during a recent appearance on the “Doomscroll Podcast” … and hinted he wouldn’t be reliving his whirlwind romance with Taylor in the tunes.
Check out the clip … While Matty never named Taylor directly in the interview, he did address how he became “a way more well-known public figure” lately … but the British singer noted he’s “just not interested” in writing about his “casual romantic liaisons.”
In another part of the podcast, he added … “The idea of making a record about something that personally happened to me that, by the time I put it out, is gonna be, like, two years old — I see people doing that, as well, and it’s just not interesting.”
It’s safe to assume Matty is referring to his ex here, given the fact Taylor penned many a song about MH on her 11th studio album, “The Tortured Poets Department.”
At the time of its release, Swifties thought the album would be inspired by Taylor’s 6-year-long relationship with actor Joe Alwyn … who split from the singer in April 2023. Shortly after Taylor and Joe’s breakup made headlines, the Grammy winner was linked to Matty … but the pair’s romance fizzled out by June 2023.
The relationship left enough of an impression on Taylor, however … having seemingly written “But Daddy I Love Him,” “Guilty As Sin?,” “Down Bad,” “Fresh Out the Slammer,” “I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can),” and, of course, the titular “The Tortured Poets Department” about Matty.
Though Taylor certainly capitalized on their fling, breaking a number of records with ‘TTPD,’ Matty said he was interested in making “art pop” and tackling “subjects [he’s] really interested in.”
He continued … “I’m sure there’ll be some kind of love songs on there. I think that yeah, I’m not in the world of, ‘Did you see what happened? Here’s my version of it,’ kind of thing. I think that’s for other artists to do.”
Both Matty and Taylor have shaken off their split … with TS linking up with NFL star Travis Kelce and MH getting engaged to model Gabbriette Bechtel.
