‘Diss Tracks’ From The Tortured Poets Department: Taylor Swift’s Ex-Matty Healy Reacts: It’s Definitely Good
Matty Healy, the frontman of 1975, has subtly acknowledged Taylor Swift’s most recent album, The Tortured Poets Department, which has sparked intense conjecture about its lyrical content and possible allusions to previous relationships.
Healy expressed confidence about Swift’s album’s quality and alluded to his acquaintance with it, without going into much detail.
During a short interview that Variety was able to secure, Healy was asked about Swift’s alleged “diss track” from the album. To which he replied, “My diss track? I haven’t actually listened to all of it, but I’m sure it’s excellent,” she said, trying to be diplomatic.
Since its April 19 release, Swift’s song The Tortured Poets Department has captured the attention of fans who have carefully examined its lyrics and drawn similarities to her love relationships, especially her long-rumored romance with Healy.
Though the interviewer mentioned a single diss tune, rumors continue that other tracks on the album would make references to their brief affair.
Swift’s lyrics seem to intriguingly blend in with certain facets of Healy’s character.
She expresses a preference for typewriters, an object Healy has claimed to have a special affection for, in the song’s title track.
Furthermore, the line “We declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist” reiterates Healy’s earlier praise for the performer.
Swift’s song But Daddy I Love Him, which is said to be a reflection of the public scrutiny surrounding her relationship with Healy, alludes to the turbulent nature of the affair.
The Tortured Poets Department has broken records and received a great deal of praise despite the speculation about the meaning of the album’s lyrics.
It just made history on Spotify by becoming the first album to reach one billion plays in only one week after being on sale.
According to Variety, industry observers predict that the first week of sales will be historic, with upwards of two million copies sold.
