Matty Healy has said that he has not heard Taylor Swift's latest album "The Tortured Poets Department."

Healy made the comments while responding to a question from a paparazzi in Los Angeles who asked the lead singer for “The 1975” to "rate" the "diss track" dedicated to him.

In a video shared by ET, Healy seemed surprised and replied, "My diss track? Oh! I haven't really listened to that much of it, but I'm sure it's good."

In the album's title track, "Tortured Poet's Department," Swift's lyrics mention her partner smoking and then eating "seven bars of chocolate," which could be a reference to The 1975's hit "Chocolate." She also describes him as a "tattooed golden retriever," which aligns with Healy's heavily tattooed appearance.The 35-year-old singer has also been seen smoking on stage while performing with his band The 1975.

According to Elle, Taylor and Matty were first seen together on May 11th, 2023, in New York, where they were seen kissing and holding hands. In June of the same year, TMZ reported that they had broken up.

Healy's aunt, Debbie Dedes, also shared her thoughts on her nephew inspiring music in Swift's double album.

She told The Daily Mail, "She writes about all her relationships, doesn't she? I don't think it will come as a shock to him at all. He's very happy in his new relationship, so I'm sure he will be focusing on that."
