Matty Healy's Cryptic Response Fuels Taylor Swift Album Speculation!

She’s American and this album might just be about her.

Following a reported lyric from Matty Healy and The 1975’s upcoming album, “Stay strong, princess, your crown is slipping,” that was published by The Sun, fans of the band as well as Taylor Swift supporters have been discussing whether the album could be about Matty Healy and Taylor Swift’s short-lived relationship.

Indeed, within a subreddit focused on the band, Matty himself added his thoughts to the rumors by posting from his confirmed Reddit account, saying “If this is correct, it’s massive.

As reported by The Sun, it’s speculated that the upcoming album from The 1975 might be titled “God Has Entered My Body”. A track with this title is rumored to exist, and sources claim that this song may allegedly depict the brief romance between Matty and Taylor in 2023.

As a faithful follower, I can share that Matty, who tends to keep his personal life private, often reveals his innermost emotions through his music. In essence, you could say he pours out all his feelings there.

In simpler terms, even though Matty’s comment doesn’t support or refute the rumors, it wouldn’t be surprising if Taylor collaborated on his album because fans believe several songs from her upcoming 2024 album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” are inspired by their brief relationship that started after she broke up with Joe Alwyn in April 2023.

One of the tracks on the TTPD album allegedly concerns a 35-year-old, with titles like “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” and “Fortnight,” the latter implying a brief two-week romance.

Matty, who got married to Gabbriette Bechtel in June, while Taylor is dating NFL player Travis Kelce, has talked before about the sources of inspiration for his music. He mentioned that he’s become a more recognized public figure due to various reasons, and this has influenced his songwriting today.

During a conversation on the Doomscroll podcast in October, Matty expressed that it wouldn’t be truthful to create a record about the various claims made about him or his personal romantic relationships, as he is often associated with these topics due to his fame.

The lead singer appeared to mention Taylor’s distinctive writing approach, characterized by hidden references and nods to her personal experiences.

As a dedicated admirer, I can’t help but notice that many artists often find themselves drawn into their own histories or events surrounding their work that are well-known. It’s only natural for them to feel compelled to delve deeper and shed light on these aspects, and I totally get it.

But for Matty, he prefers to pull inspiration from elsewhere.

Matty expressed his viewpoint: ‘It seems clear to me,’ he said. However, he’s not drawn to it. He finds unappealing the concept of creating a record based on personal experiences that would be two years old by the time it’s released. Observing others doing the same, he finds it lackluster.

Although we’ll have to hold off on knowing for certain with The 1975’s upcoming album, let’s delve into a retrospective of the numerous hints and Easter eggs found within The Tortured Poets Department.

As an ardent fan, I can’t help but express my excitement over the first track from Taylor Swift’s latest album, TTPD. It’s titled ““Fortnight” (feat. Post Malone)“, and it tells a captivating story about a brief yet intense romance that spanned just two weeks. This dynamic duo, Taylor Swift and Post Malone, have truly outdone themselves with their enchanting voices and heartfelt lyrics.

“And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” the lyrics tease. “I touched you, for only a fortnight.”

It seems the song might be hinting at Taylor’s renewed relationship with Matty Healy from The 1975, a connection that started back in 2014 and was rekindled in the spring of 2023 after her split with Joe Alwyn.

According to these lyrics, their short-lived reunion between Taylor and Matty was intense with strong feelings.

She told iHeartRadio the opening number is “fatalistic” just like the rest of the “tragic” album.

“The Department of Tormented Poets”: Previously, fans had noticed a link between the album title TTPD and Joe’s WhatsApp group chat named “The Tortured Man Club.” However, it is worth noting that the title track itself contains allusions to Matty.

The first lyrics of the song subtly refer to Matty, who expressed his affection for typewriters in a 2019 interview with GQ.

As the song progresses, it sheds light on the powerful connection between Taylor and Matty. Taylor goes as far as reminiscing about a moment when Matty took her ring from her middle finger and placed it where wedding rings usually are. This is the closest she’s come to experiencing her heart bursting open.

Taylor’s lyrics occasionally mention figures such as poet Dylan Thomas, singer-songwriter Patti Smith, and artist Charlie Puth. For instance, she says, “You’re not Dylan Thomas,” and “I’m not Patti Smith.” Similarly, regarding Charlie Puth, she comments, “You smoked then ate seven bars of chocolate / We declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist.

On the third song of the album, she sings that her son is like a king of destroying sandcastles.

The lyrics suggest, “Because I knew too much, there was peril in my closeness,” and “He shattered what could have been eternal.

The Grammy-winning artist shared with iHeartRadio that the song is a metaphor seen from a child’s toy’s point of view. In this scenario, the toy gets broken and no longer wants to be played with – much like in relationships where we initially feel highly valued. Essentially, it speaks about accepting that old feelings of romance can’t return to what they once were.

In the song “Cruel Summer” from 2019, she likened lovers to expensive toys, expressing it through the lyrics, “You’re a troublesome, attractive item with a hefty cost, and I’m well aware that I purchased you.

“Feeling Heartbroken Over ‘My Twin’:” This tune speaks volumes about my own heartache, as I pour out my feelings over a fellow who I once thought was my mirror image, only to find myself left hanging. He’d vanished like a wisp of smoke, leaving me bewildered and yearning for his return.

How bold of you to believe that our separation is romantic / Yet here I am, left secure but stranded.”

And in response, she expresses her frustration with:

“Frankly, I was deeply in love / So it’s infuriating if I can’t be with you both.

In the song “New Romantics” from her album 1989, Taylor Swift employs the phrase “stranded,” which might seem familiar to her fans (Swifties), as she sings: “Could you kindly leave me in such a state / It’s quite romantic.

Taylor confessed to iHeartRadio that in her song “Down Bad,” she likens the experience of being love-bombed (where someone sweeps you off your feet and then leaves you) to an alien abduction. The character in the song feels lost when returned to her hometown, yearning for the peculiar world she was previously in.

Taylor expressed that he had just discovered a completely new galaxy and universe, one he never knew existed. He questioned how it was possible for things to return to the way they were before this amazing discovery.

Taylor often assigns track five to her most poignant tunes, and indeed, “Farewell, London” aligns perfectly with this tradition.

In this song, Taylor recounts the conclusion of her romance with Joe, who once served as her “London Boy.” She reminisces about the memories they built up in London throughout their years together and hints at the factors that ultimately caused their relationship to fall apart.

As a dedicated enthusiast, I never intended to play the role of the misfit, as I croon. “I established the renowned club where the whispers of its grandeur have reached her ears,” I confess. “I abandoned everything familiar, only for you to abandon me at the house by the Heath.

Taylor found herself under scrutiny as she spent time with Matty, known for his contentious remarks throughout the years. In her song “But Daddy I Love Him”, she tackles a comparable subject of yearning for a connection to thrive, even in the face of disapproval from the outside world.

“No I’m not coming to my senses,” she declares. “I know it’s crazy but he’s the one I want.”

‘Just Released from Detention’: Following her breakup with Joe, Taylor seemed to know exactly who to reach out to: Matty.

“I did my time,” she sings. “Now pretty baby I’m running back home to you.”

She’s previously referred to her lover as her “jailer” during reputation‘s “Ready For It.”

If you’re seeking a getaway, consider Florida, as suggested by Taylor and Florence Welch in this song.

Taylor’s lyrics suggest she’s addressing accusations about her private life by saying, ‘If I overcome the allegations, I can handle the heat.’ She also describes her friends as smelling either of marijuana or infants, and the city as causing her to feel on edge or stressed.

I want to escape my troubles, so could you take me to sunny Florida? I have some past sorrows, and I plan to lay them to rest there.

Taylor explained that the song was actually inspired by true crime sagas about escaping town.

She mentioned that she’s often reminded of shows like Dateline, as people tend to commit crimes and then flee. Interestingly, they frequently choose Florida as their destination, attempting to start anew with a different identity. In the same vein, after a heartbreaking experience, one might harbor thoughts such as, “I desire a new name, a fresh start, a life that’s completely unknown to anyone.

One last secret about “Florida!!!”? Taylor’s pal Emma Stone helped write the song.

In a seemingly intentional reference to Matty, Taylor begins “Guilty as Sin?” with the lyrics, “I’m drowning in the Blue Nile, he sent me downtown lights.” Interestingly enough, Matty had listed The Blue Nile‘s Hats among his favorite albums from the 1980s back in 2022.

In this song, Taylor takes on her critics with great emotion, as she questions the power of those who criticize her, singing: “Can you believe I cracked under pressure? Here’s another jab for your humor collection.” “If everyone joins in the laughter, I might just start crying.

According to the lyrics of this song, Taylor was confident that she could assist in transforming him, disregarding any skepticism from others.

1. “Smoke streams from his mouth, just as a freight train passes through a tiny village,” she croons.

2. “He told jokes that were disgusting and overly loud, across the bar.” (This one maintains the original rhythm and structure of the sentence.)

3. “The smoke puffs out from him like a freight train passing a small town,” she sings.

4. “The humor he shared at the bar was nauseating and excessively loud.”

5. “A cloud of smoke belches forth from his mouth, much like a freight train moving through a quaint hamlet,” she serenades.

6. “His jokes were repugnant and too boisterous for the bar’s atmosphere,” (This one focuses more on the effect the jokes had rather than their volume.)

7. “The smoke billows out of him, mimicking a freight train passing through a small town,” she sings.

8. “He spewed out jokes that were vile and overly loud in the bar.” (This one uses stronger language to emphasize the negativity of the jokes.)

They respond with “Oh, God bless her” when I mention him as my partner, and the song goes on. “However, their deity won’t have to intervene / I can mend him, yes, it’s true, I can / And it’s only me who can.

In this heartfelt song, Taylor initially expresses that she’s been referred to as the love of someone’s life countless times. Yet, the scenario later shifted.

She remarks, “If something is instantly recognizable, it’s iconic; what we once believed would last forever turns out to be fleeting.

She ends the song by letting the person know, “You’re the loss of my life.”

The warmth I feel now is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before or since, and it seems to point to a rekindled connection with Matty.

‘I Can Perform with a Shattered Heart’: The song seems to convey Taylor’s determination to excel in her Eras Tour despite the heartache, as she ‘hits all my cues’ on stage amidst cheering audiences. She masks her feelings by projecting resilience: ‘Spotlights, cameras, grit-filled smile.’

Though this song is upbeat, it’s filled with lyrics of unrequited love.

1. She croons, “I’m utterly captivated by him, yet he acts as if I don’t exist / My tears flow freely, but I am remarkably productive – truly an extraordinary talent,” she sings. “It speaks volumes about you when you can still shine even with a heart that’s broken.”

2. She sings, “I can’t get enough of him, but he acts as if I don’t exist / My tears may fall, but my productivity is amazing – it’s almost magical,” she sings. “It shows how truly gifted you are when you can still succeed with a heart that’s shattered.”

3. She serenades, “I’m head over heels for him, yet he treats me as if I don’t matter / My tears may be plentiful, but my output is impressive – it’s almost surreal,” she sings. “It proves what an exceptional talent you have when you can still thrive with a heart that’s been torn apart.”

4. She croons, “I’m completely infatuated with him, yet he ignores me like I’m not there / My tears may flow, but my productivity is astounding – it’s almost supernatural,” she sings. “It demonstrates your remarkable talent when you can still excel with a heart that’s been broken.”

5. She belts out, “I’m utterly smitten by him, yet he seems to avoid me at all costs / My tears may be abundant, but my productivity is extraordinary – it’s almost unbelievable,” she sings. “It reveals your exceptional ability when you can still achieve with a heart that’s been shattered.”

Taylor is curious about the tiniest man on record, as he mysteriously ended his relationship without explanation.

In a simple and conversational manner: “She croons that even though you knocked over the stage lights, you continue to perform,” or “She sings about how although you concealed yourself openly, you’re defined by your actions.

In a nod to her NFL player boyfriend, Travis Kelce, Taylor’s song “The Alchemy” seems to allude to him following the departure of “the clowns.” She uses various sports references throughout the track.

When I arrive again, let those who are inexperienced step aside and make way for stronger members.

Later, she mentions her old companions, who have been “keeping seats warm,” implying that we’ve had a successful run.

Or:

Later, she brings up her past friends, who have been “sitting on the sidelines,” suggesting that our recent success has been impressive.

The last track on the album speaks of Taylor’s connection with the late actress Clara Bow, whose life, like Taylor’s, faced a lot of rumors and analysis.

“It’s hell on earth to be heavenly,” Taylor sings. “Them’s the brakes, they don’t come gently.”

The lyrics further emphasize the contrasts drawn between high-profile women, specifically referencing Clara, Stevie Nicks, and Taylor herself.

The lyrics imply a comparison, saying something like: “Just as if someone were telling the next star in line, ‘You resemble Taylor Swift in this light, we find it captivating,’ the song continues. ‘Unlike her, you possess an edge,’ it adds, ‘The future for you shines, brilliantly dazzling.’

‘The Black Dog’: The artist laments the distance she now feels from her ex, who were once confidants, as she sings, ‘I was someone to whom, due to recent happenings / You shared your deepest secrets / And your whereabouts / You neglected to change that setting / And so I see as you enter some pub named The Black Dog / And create fresh wounds in my heart.’

Fans are speculating that her recent public appearance mirrors the attire she donned in a behind-the-scenes video from her song recording, which coincides with an outfit she wore in New York on May 18, 2023. This observation leads them to infer that she might have penned the song prior to her split with Matty, which was announced publicly in June 2023.

Fans were swift to notice that Taylor Swift’s surprise double album, which includes 15 extra Tortured Poet songs, has the title ‘thanK you aIMee,’ which seems to reference Kim Kardashian.

Taylor sings, implying a reference to the controversial phone call with Kanye West in 2016 that Kim made public, “And it wasn’t a balanced or honorable conflict, nor was it a dignified defeat each time Aimee strutted over my grave.” Later on, she wrote headlines for the local newspaper, mocking every small move I made.

As Taylor’s lyrics suggest, I find myself stronger today: “While you were hurling blows, I was crafting something substantial / And I couldn’t wait to reveal its authenticity to you / I shouted ‘F–k you, Aimee,’ to the heavens as the blood flowed / Yet, I can’t erase the way you aided me in healing.

Taylor appears to liken her love story with Travis to the charm of a typical adolescent romance.

She croons, “Will you choose to marry, kiss, or confront danger with me?” However, it’s merely a playful scenario; in reality, I’m hoping for all three outcomes between us.

In a popular video that resurfaced, Travis was inquired about the game “kiss, marry, or eliminate” involving Taylor, Katy Perry, and Ariana Grande. (He mentioned he would kiss Taylor and marry Katy.)

In “So High School,” Taylor subtly mentions instances where Travis opened doors for her, such as the time she rode in a convertible with him following one of his football games. She expresses this by saying, “How thoughtful, he opened my car door! Then, he escorted me to the backseat.

Not to mention this mic-drop: “You know how to ball, I know Aristotle.”

“I’m utterly captivated! This melody echoes the tale of Cassandra, the Greek seeress. As the Brooklyn Museum shares, Apollo, smitten by her, bestowed the gift of foresight upon her. Yet, when she spurned his affection, he cursed her so that no one would believe her prophecies.”

As a lifestyle expert, I can tell you that Taylor appears to pen a song expressing her foresight in exposing one of her adversaries, and she’s confident that their true nature has now been laid bare for all to see.

She’s singing, “Therefore, Cassandra was the one they eliminated first as she anticipated the worst. And yet, I attempted to warn them. Alas, in place of safety, they put serpents in my prison. Can you trust my words now?

The song portrays a poignant scene of longing for a past love. In the chorus, she sings, “I peer into other people’s homes / Just in case you’re dining there / If our gazes crossed paths again / One more time, it could be.

The lyrics of her 2019 ballad “Death by a Thousand Cuts” evoke the feeling of looking into a love that is shuttered, yet still illuminated by the faint glow of a chandelier, even though attempts have been made to hide it. In this song, she expresses her inability to feign acceptance when things are not right.

In my fervent enthusiasm, I implore the powers that be to bestow upon me a fresh romantic companion, much like Taylor’s predicament post-breakup, hinting at her recent separation from Joe.

The song lyrics imply a desire for genuine companionship rather than material possessions, as expressed through the lines: “I’ve been longing to stand up / Alter the prediction,” and “I don’t crave wealth / But yearn for someone who cherishes my presence / May it be my turn someday.

Fans argue that the song isn’t about Matty Healy from The 1975, as Taylor Swift included a hidden reference to “The Prophecy” in her “Karma” music video, which was released on May 26, 2023. This was before their breakup. The video depicts Taylor as a golden statue, echoing the lyrics from “The Prophecy”: “But even statues crumble if they’re made to wait.” Swift herself validated this connection by liking a tweet about the association.

“I”: I compose songs about a person who promised he would ‘mature’ and then ‘reunite’ with me, marking the start of our lives together. Yet, a subtle hint regarding my age led fans to speculate that I might be using the name Peter as an alias for Matty.

“You promised to pick me up, but it turns out you were 25,” Taylor sings. “The time for those daydreams has passed.”

(This version maintains the original meaning while using more conversational language and simplifying some phrases for clarity.)

In 2014, which was around Matty’s age of 25, the two became close and Matty notably showed his support for Taylor by donning an “1989” t-shirt.

In this song, it’s quite plausible that the character named Peter is the very same one featured in the 2020 track “Cardigan” (alluding to Peter and Wendy from Peter Pan).

In the lyrics of her latest 2024 song, it says, “I have moved on to a different phase of my life, reminiscent of the ‘Lost Boys’ era.” However, she pleads for understanding with these words, “Please forgive me, Peter, understand that I made every effort.

Are you still unsure if Matty is indeed Peter? During their relationship in May 2023, Taylor publicly expressed affection towards someone by saying “This song is for you. You already know who you are. I love you” during her Eras Tour performance of “Cardigan”.

The song’s verses could be hinting at her past relationships with either Jake Gyllenhaal or John Mayer, as both men are significantly older than her. They have a difference in age of around nine and twelve years respectively.

In his era, she yearned to be thirty and each day brewed coffee using a French press, as Taylor sings. Later on, she pondered over what he had said about her being so mature for her age, everything being transparent, but she was uncertain.

One significant hypothesis suggests that she penned “The Manuscript” when revisiting “All Too Well,” a piece generally thought to be about Jake, in order to create the 10-minute rendition for the 2021 release of Red (Taylor’s Version). She appears to refer to this transition into a short film within “The Manuscript”: “Actors were finding their spots / And the slow dance was ablaze with energy / And tears fell in harmony with the music.

In another interpretation, the lyrics echo a common theme from Taylor’s reflections on “All Too Well.” She suggests that, over time, the song seems to have shifted focus away from her personal romance and more towards the fans, as she puts it: “Sometimes I revisit the draft, but the tale no longer belongs to me.
