Matty Healy Finally Reacts to Taylor Swift Alleged ‘TTPD’ ‘Diss Track’
Matty Healy has finally reacted to Taylor Swift‘s newest release, The Tortured Poets Department,specifically his alleged “diss track.”
While walking through a crowd of paparazzi in Los Angeles on April 24, Healy was questionedabout his thoughts on what was dubbed his “Taylor diss track.” With a brief chuckle, The 1975 frontman responded, “My diss track? Oh! I haven’t really listened to that much of it, but I’m sure it’s good,” giving his ex-lover a compliment.
While the videographer doesn’t specify which TTPD song was the “diss track,” there are multiple songs on the album believed to be about Healy, including “Fortnight,” and “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,” among others.
Swift’s double album, which features the song, was released on April 19. Although Healy, 35, is not explicitly named, he is widely believed to be a recurring muse throughout the record. The pop star’s lyrics on the track “Guilty as Sin?” hint at Healy when she references an unnamed person sending her the 1989 synth-pop hit “The Downtown Lights” by The Blue Nile, a group Healy once declared as his “favorite band of all time.” Additionally, Healy has acknowledged that The 1975’s track “Love It If We Made It” drew inspiration from this song.
