If the Swifties were riled up at the thought of Matty Healy writing a book, then they may need to brace themselves for his latest remarks.
On October 22, Matty Healy stopped by Doomscroll to chat with host Joshua Citarella about pop culture in the 21st century (as the episode’s title graciously simplified). However, during the conversation The 1975 frontman seems to had subtly inserted one of the most notable pop stars, Taylor Swift, who just so happens to be his rumored ex-girlfriend.
When discussing his new music (around the 2 hour and 21 minute mark) and themes he wanted to explore, Matty made it clear that he’s interested in getting consumed by or indebted to his spike in popularity.
“Last year I became a way more well-known public figure for loads of different reasons,” he said. “The only reason that I was interested in is what I was doing. I think that a lot of artists, they become very interested in their lore, or they become interested in the things that have happened outside of their art that people know about, and they want to address that, and fair enough.”
