Hot News: Taylor Swift fans are convinced she takes aim at ex-boyfriend Matty Healy in new album

The thing is with Swifties, they never seem to miss a trick.

As Taylor Swift is all loved up with NFL star Travis Kelce nowadays, it’s pretty easy to forget her previous romance with the 1975 star Matt Healy.

Healy and Smith first met in 2014, with rumors surrounding a romance swirling for a while as Swift attended multiple 1975 concerts and rocked the band’s merchandise.

They struck up a romance that went public in May 2023, but broke up just a month later in June.

Well, in her new album, many fans are convinced Swift has taken aim at her former partner.

‘Guilty as Sin?’

In her new album, The Tortured Poets Department, Swift sings about having romantic feelings and ‘fatal fantasies’ for someone from her past while in a relationship with someone else.

You certainly don’t need to be Einstein to work out Swift is talking about Joe Alwyn here – who she dated for six years before starting a romance with Healy.

Some Swifties turned detective and insisted the track also ‘unironically sounds like a 1975 song’.

Other fans lost their minds over the line “Drowning in the Blue Nile / He sent me ‘Downtown Lights’”, with one writing: “‘Guilty as Sin?’ is about Matty!!!!! The Blue Nile is one of his favourite bands and ‘The Downtown Lights’ is the song The 1975’s ‘Love it if we Made It’ is based on!!!!!! Plus he’s someone from her past who she wanted to have a ‘tryst’ with but never did!!!!”

‘The Black Dog’

In this particular track, Swift shouts out a favoured band of Healy’s in the form of pop-punk group The Starting Line.

The 1975 actually covered the band’s 2002 song ‘The Best of Me’ in concert in April and May 2023, just days before Swift and Healy were first seen publicly holding hands.

The track tells the story of two lovers who spent time apart, but eventually find their way back to each other.

“I just don’t understand how you don’t miss me / In The Black Dog when someone plays The Starting Line / And you jump up, but she’s too young / To know this song / That was intertwined in the magic fabric of our dreaming,” Swift sings.

Many Swifties were just baffled she was a The Starting Line fan, with one writing: “Am i HIGH or did ms taylor alison swift reference the band THE STARTING LINE in the black dog???????? hello?????????????????? am i hearing the lyrics wrong?????”

‘Fresh Out the Slammer’

In this song, Swift sings about feeling ready and able to dive into a new romance after ending a different relationship that was holding her back and making her feel trapped.

‘Fresh Out the Slammer’ contains lyrics about ‘runnin’ back home’ and being ‘at the starting line’ of something new.

She also hits her new boyfriend is not American, as she sings she’s returning ‘to the one who says I’m the girl of his American dreams’.

It should be worth noting that both Healy and Alywn are British.

‘The Tortured Poets Department’

This particular track also seems to reference Healy as the title appears to make a joke at the time Healy brought a typewriter to her apartment.

“You left your typewriter at my apartment / Straight from the Tortured Poets Department / I think some things I never say / Like, ‘Who uses typewriters anyway?’” she sings.
