Taylor Swift's ex-boyfriend, Matty Healy, has something to say about the most recent rumors surrounding the pair's past romance.
On Saturday, January 18, The Sun reported that The 1975, Healy's band, is working on a new album — featuring a song titled, "God Has Entered My Body." The track is said to be about Swift and Healy's short-lived romance in May 2023.
The outlet reported that the track includes the lyric, "Keep your head up Princess, your tiara is falling" — thought to be a reference to the 14-time Grammy winner.
"Everyone at the studio thought this was about Matty's fling with Taylor and their fleeting romance," an insider told the publication. "Matty will never publicly comment on his relationships, but he lets his deepest feelings out in his songs and gets everything off his chest."
The source, who noted that "fans will want to listen to the lyrics very carefully."
Healy, for his part, addressed the rumors via Reddit on Sunday, January 19.
"Huge if true," the 35-year-old rocker — using his TrumanBlackOG account — commented on a thread about the alleged song.
Swift and the "Chocolate" singer sparked romance rumors in May 2023, fresh off Swift's split from longtime boyfriend Joe Alwyn. The 35-year-old "Guilty as Sin?" singer had a brief summer fling with the controversial 1975 frontman before breaking up in June 2023. Their short-lived romance seemed to inspire several tracks on Swift's Tortured Poets Department album, including the title track, as well as "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived," "Fortnight," "Fresh Out the Slammer" and more. (Swift, as fans know, would go on to date Travis Kelce later that summer; the pair have now been dating for about a year and a half.)
Healy, meanwhile, previously said that he didn't plan on writing songs about his personal life after his high-profile romance with Swift.
"Last year I became a way more well-known public figure for loads of different reasons," he shared on the Doomscroll podcast in October 2024. "I would kind of just be lying if I made a record about, I don't know, all the stuff that was said about me or my casual romantic liaisons or whatever it may be that I've kind of become known for, just because I was famous. I think that that's an obvious thing to draw from. And I'm just not interested in it."
He added: "The idea of making a record about something that personally happened to me, that by the time I put it out is gonna be like two years old, I see people doing that as well, and it's not interesting."
