Matty Healy breaks silence on theory his next 1975 album is about Taylor Swift

Matty Healy has responded to chatter that his next The 1975 album will be inspired by his short-lived relationship with Taylor Swift.

Swift’s, 35, latest studio album The Tortured Poets Department — released in early 2024 — is believed to have references to their 2023 fling.

The 1975 are working on their sixth album and a source told The Sun about the lead single, called God Has Entered My Body: ‘Everyone at the studio thought this was about Matty’s fling with Taylor and their fleeting romance.’

Healy, also 35, responded to the Swift reports by joining a Reddit thread over the weekend and adding that the news was ‘huge if true.’ 

The outlet’s insider also dished, ‘Matty will never publicly comment on his relationships, but he lets his deepest feelings out in his songs and gets everything off his chest. Fans will want to listen to the lyrics very carefully.’ 

A purported line in God Has Entered My Body is, ‘Keep your head up, princess, your tiara is falling,’ a caption Matty used for an Instagram post in 2021.

Matty was reportedly ‘completely blindsided’ after Taylor targeted him in some tracks on her record-breaking 11th studio album.

Taylor is believed to have taken aim at The 1975 frontman in her song The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.

Last year a close friend of the British-born performer opened up to Us Weekly and revealed that Matty still had ‘mixed feelings’ regarding the record, which was released in April 2024.

‘He loves the attention it’s brought to him, [but] he also thinks it’s hilarious because at no time [were they] ever serious.’

In October, Matty explained why he doesn’t feel compelled to write about his ‘casual romantic liaisons’ in his music.

During an appearance on Joshua Citarella’s Doomscroll podcast, Matty shared: ‘Last year I became a way more well-known public figure for loads of different reasons.’

Elsewhere in the conversation he elaborated, ‘I think that a lot of artists, they become very interested in their lore, or they become interested in the things that have happened outside of their art that people know about, and they want to address that, and [that’s] fair enough.’

Referring to his band, formed in 2002, he continued: ‘Maybe on my first record, when it was very much a series of journal entries, like little bits of heartache, I used to write about relationships a lot more and stuff like that.

‘But honestly I would kind of just be lying if I made a record about, I don’t know, all the stuff that was said about me or my casual romantic liaisons or whatever it may be, that I’ve kind of become known for just because I was famous,’ he said.

‘I think that that’s an obvious thing to draw from and I’m just not interested in it. And I think the maintenance of the status quo is something that I always fight against.’
