An insider has reportedly shed light on the brief romance between Taylor Swift and Matty Healy, suggesting that contrary to popular belief, Swift was the one who broke Healy’s heart, leading to distress for his family.
A Mother’s Public Statement
The conversation reignited recently after Matty Healy’s mother, Denise Welch, appeared on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.” During her appearance, Welch candidly shared her feelings about Taylor Swift’s habit of writing songs about her past relationships.
“Not being her mother-in-law is a role that I am glad that I lost,” Welch stated, a comment that quickly drew strong reactions online. Swift’s dedicated fanbase swiftly came to her defense, expressing that they felt personally attacked by the remark.
An Insider Reveals the Other Side
However, an insider close to the situation has offered a different perspective on Welch’s comments. Speaking to Us Weekly, the source explained that “she’s still a mum at the end of the day. Any mother would feel the same. Multiply that by a million because of how famous Taylor is.”
The source claims Denise was deeply affected by how the narrative unfolded. They described it as “a horrible thing to have the most famous person in the world say your son broke her heart when it was actually the other way around — and then you can’t even defend yourself.”
The Family’s Beliefs About the Relationship
According to the insider, Healy’s family genuinely believed that his relationship with Swift was serious and heading towards a significant commitment. Denise Welch’s public statement, they insist, was not made randomly.
Matty himself reportedly thought the relationship might reach that point. The insider stressed, “You can’t blame a mum for standing up for her child,” calling the split “terrible” for Healy and highlighting his mother’s struggle to stay silent during the ordeal.
“Now that time has gone by, she’s saying what she can because she knows that her son got hurt,” the source added.
The Public Romance and Its Aftermath
Taylor Swift and Matty Healy were frequently seen together in 2023, following her separation from long-term partner Joe Alwyn. Healy, frontman of The 1975, attended multiple Eras Tour shows, and the duo was photographed on dinner dates and leaving Swift’s New York City residence.
The short-lived romance quickly made way for Swift’s highly publicized relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce. Following her 14th Grammy win, Swift released her album “The Tortured Poets Department,” which fans widely interpreted as containing several songs about Healy, including “Guilty as Sin?”, “The Black Dog,” and “But Daddy I Love Him.”
Healy has remained largely silent regarding Swift’s music. He is now engaged to model and actress Gabbriette Bechtel.
