Matty Healy's Mom SHADES Taylor Swift! You Won't Believe What She Said!

Denise Welch, mother of The 1975 frontman Matty Healy, has offered some pointed remarks about her son's brief relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift. In a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Welch didn't hold back when discussing Swift's album, The Tortured Poets Department, which many believe details her short-lived romance with Healy.

When Cohen inquired about her thoughts on the album, Welch quipped, "Being her mother-in-law is a role that I am glad that I lost!" She quickly clarified, "Not that I have anything against her at all! It was just — it was tricky." This comment drew gasps from the studio audience.

Welch further elaborated on the situation, stating, "Listen, you're not allowed to say anything, and then she writes a whole album about it." However, she added that her son has "taken it all in completely good grace."

The Healy-Swift romance occurred in 2023 following Swift's split from her long-time boyfriend, Joe Alwyn. Since then, both Swift and Healy have moved on. Healy is now engaged to model Gabriella "Gabbriette" Bechtel, a relationship that Welch wholeheartedly approves of. "He’s very happy with his amazing fiancée Gabriette," she said, "who is gorgeous."

This isn't the first time a member of Healy's family has commented on the TTPD. Healy's aunt, Debbie Dedes, shared her thoughts shortly after the album's release. "Nothing surprises him anymore," she told the Daily Mail in April 2024. "He will not be surprised by the song. Him and her know what went on."

While Healy himself has remained mostly silent on the subject, he did make a subtle reference to his role as the “tattooed golden retriever” during a performance at the Glastonbury Music Festival, a sly call-back that didn't go unnoticed by Swifties.

Moving On

The comments from Denise Welch add another layer to the narrative surrounding the short-lived but highly publicized relationship between Matty Healy and Taylor Swift. While Welch's words may seem pointed, it appears that both parties have moved on to new chapters in their lives.
