lol. it's not a documentary. it just makes for a good/better song. |
yes! writers meet people briefly and then turn them into major characters in their novels. it doesn't make them obsessed - it's just that having a specific person in mind often helps move the story along. |
Are they still sending each other smoke signals? TS seems to be picking surprise songs at her tour for him. |
Has this been discussed?
“He loves the attention it’s brought to him, [but] he also thinks it’s hilarious because at no time [were they] ever serious,” the friend claims. Healy’s pal adds that the musician was “completely blindsided” by TTPD’s “lyrical content,” especially Swift’s allusions to her and a love interest discussing marriage and children. “For her to be saying things about baby carriages … and living together — he says it had never even come up,” the friend says. “He’s taking it in stride.” https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/how-matty-healy-feels-about-ttpd-months-later/ |
matty hates this attention. that friend is either from Gabriette's circle or from herself (she uses the word hilarious in quotes other times) |
Matty dropped a very "IM SORRY I PUSHED YOU AWAY" song right after Taylor played her surprise songs in Scotland today on his IG stories. |
This is fake news. Matty’s fans know that he never talks to the press like that. He doesn’t have a PR person either. He loves and respects Taylor and wouldn’t speak about her to a gossip site. He is a gentleman to the core. And yes, she is sending him lyrical messages. She just played “Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve” from Midnights and “Daylight” from Lover as her surprise songs in Edinburgh tonight. Both are about Matty. |
No way Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve is about Matty. “Danced with the devil at 19” “Give me back my girlhood”…those are definite John Mayer references. |
That quote isn’t Matty saying that, it says ‘his friend’. Not that it makes it any more credible. |
No way she was singing about John Mayer on Midnights, 14 years after a brief fling. She has been known to use red herrings and deliberately mislead about places and situations. She was crushing on Matty hard around the writing and recording of Midnights. Tonight she sang All Of The Girls You Loved Before, also about MH. Sent from my iPhone |

“Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve” and “The Manuscript” both reference a very young woman out of her depth with an older man who knows exactly what he’s doing. She wanted to think she was as grown up and wise as he told her she was and realized years later that she absolutely had not been. Regardless of the fact that TS was legally an adult, she now sees the man in those songs as predatory. (Even so more than she did when she wrote “Dear John.” She wrote the newer songs when she was about the age Mayer was when they were together. The gap between 19 and early 30s must have seemed endless.)
The MH songs might be pissed off or broken-hearted, but she clearly engages him as an equal. It’s a really different vibe. |
He didn't talk to the press. These are quotes from a friend. US Magazine is pretty reputable - I believe this. |
Sounds like the two of them have this all planned out. |
Omg, people. When a “friend” is quoted talking about a celebrity, it is the celebrity’s PR person off the record. |
