Matty Healy to break silence on Taylor Swift fling on The 1975’s secret new album
Share:
THE 1975 are dropping an album this summer – but it could be bad news for Taylor Swift. I can reveal that the band — who are also headlining Glastonbury Festival in June — have been secretly working on their sixth record, featuring the title song God Has Entered My Body.
And, on it, lead singer Matty Healy will finally open up about his short relationship with the pop queen. Matty, alongside his bandmates Ross MacDonald, Adam Hann and George Daniel, has been beavering away in the studio and working with some top producers.
After briefly dating Tay for a month in 2023, the frontman is said to be the inspiration for several songs on her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department. They include But Daddy I Love Him, Guilty As Sin?, Fresh Out The Slammer and The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.
Now it seems Matty will get his chance to respond on this new track, which is thought to be about their relationship and coping with fame. Among the lyrics is the line, “Keep your head up Princess, your tiara is falling”. A music insider said: “Everyone at the studio thought this was about Matty’s fling with Taylor and their fleeting romance.
“Matty will never publicly comment on his relationships, but he lets his deepest feelings out in his songs and gets everything off his chest. “Fans will want to listen to the lyrics very carefully. “With the band set to headline Glastonbury, a new album dropping in the summer makes perfect sense for them, so they can capitalise on the performance and have some new material.”.
