A relative of Matty Healy came to his defense.
While fans speculated that several of Taylor Swift’s songs from her brand new album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” referenced her brief romance with Healy — including a song called “The Smallest Man” — her aunt Debbie Dedes argued that there was much more to say. image than what Swift shared.
“Nothing surprises him anymore,” she told the Daily Mail on Saturday. “He won’t be surprised by the song. He and she know what happened.
Dedes, who is the sister of Healy’s mother, Denise Welch, added: “As his nephew, we know a little more about what happened than what the press has said. »
She also said he was “very happy” with his current girlfriend, model Gabbriette Bechtel.
Representatives for Swift and Healy did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
In “The Smallest Man,” Swift, 34, sang about a man in a Jehovah’s Witness costume who she accuses of “rusting” her “shining summer.”
Healy, the frontman of The 1975, wears a signature black suit on stage during most of his performances, which arguably resembles an outfit worn by someone who follows religion.
The couple dated between May and June 2023, right at the start of summer. The “Maroon” crooner notably received a lot of backlash for his romance with Healy – which they never confirmed – due to his past racist remarks about his friend rapper Ice Spice and his outlandish comments in general .
The 14-time Grammy winner seemingly referenced people telling her to stay away from someone she desires in “But Daddy, I Love Him” and she also explored similar emotions in “I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can).
In “The Smallest Man,” Swift also sang about a person trying to “buy pills from a friend of friends.” The 35-year-old musician has spoken openly about his substance abuse issues.
The “smallest man” may also refer to Healy’s height. He already complained that he is “sick to death” of people speculating about his height, even though he is 5 feet 10 inches tall.

The album’s title track, “The Tortured Poets Department,” also seems to allude to Healy’s love of typewriters, which he explained in a previous interview with GQ.
“You left your typewriter at my house / Straight from the tortured poets department / I think there are some things I never say / Like, ‘Who uses typewriters anyway?’ » Quick questions in the song.
When the billionaire pop star and Healy split last June, a source told Entertainment Tonight that they were both “extremely busy” and “not really compatible with each other.”
Healy was first linked to Bechtel last September when they were seen locking lips during a PDA-filled walk around New York City.
In November, Healy and the Nasty Cherry musician denied engagement rumors.
Meanwhile, Swift has since moved on with NFL star Travis Kelce, with whom she went public last September.
A person close to the power couple told Page Six that the engagement was on the table.
