In a resurfaced clip, Taylor Swift’s ex-boyfriend Matty Healy was seen expressing his love for typewriters and writing in his notebook. The 1975 frontman talked about how writing with pen and paper, as well as using typewriters, brought a sense of commitment and focus that could be lacking in digital devices. Healy mentioned that he wrote stories about his dreams of being in love with pop stars in his notebook, which he considered essential even in today’s digital age.
The resurfaced clip led to speculation among Swift’s fans, with many believing that the singer may have referenced Healy in her latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” In the album’s title track, Swift mentioned a typewriter that was left at her apartment, making a subtle jab at Healy’s use of typewriters. The lyrics triggered an excitement among Swfties, leading to discussions and interpretations of the connection between the song and Healy’s comments about typewriters.
In tracks such as “But Daddy I Love Him” and “I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can),” Swift hinted at her relationship with Healy and the warnings she received about dating a rockstar. She also addressed his struggles with substance abuse in the song “The Smallest Man.” Furthermore, in “Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus,” Swift mentioned someone who prioritized drugs over her, possibly alluding to her experiences with Healy during their brief relationship.
While Healy has not responded to the album’s references, his aunt came to his defense, emphasizing that there is more to the story than what Swift implies in her songs. Debbie Dedes, Healy’s aunt, mentioned that Swift and Healy are privy to certain details that have not been disclosed to the public. Dedes added that Healy is happy with his current girlfriend, Gabbriette Bechtel, suggesting that he has moved on from his past relationship with Swift.
In addition to Healy, Swift also references her ex Joe Alwyn in songs on the album, following their split in April 2023. The album also contains sports references related to Swift’s current relationship with Travis Kelce. Despite the speculation and controversies surrounding the album’s content and connections to Swift’s past relationships, fans continue to analyze the lyrics and search for hidden meanings related to her personal life. The album explores themes of love, heartbreak, and personal growth, providing insight into Swift’s experiences and emotions.
