"Him and her know what went on"— Matty Healy's aunt Debbie Dedes reacts to Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department

Released on April 19, 2024, Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department features 16 tracks, including songs Fortnight, Florida!!! ft. Florence and The Machine and The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.

Since then, fans have been in deep speculation and trying to connect the dots of the lyrics with Taylor's past relationships. Fans believe that Swift's song Fortnight, which features Post Malone, reflects her move from Joe Alwyn to Matty Healy for a brief period.

In another song titled Smallest Man Who Ever Lived, fans believe Swift directly addresses a summer fling with Healy.

Matty Healy and Taylor Swift had a relationship that lasted approximately from April to June 2023.

The speculations intensified when The 1975 frontrunner Matty Healy's aunt, Debbie Dedes, reacted to it and said—

"Nothing surprises him anymore. He will not be surprised by the song. Him and her know what went on."

Dedes provided this statement to the Daily Mail shortly after the album's release on April 19, 2024.

Taylor Swift released her 11th album and followed it with TTPD Anthology on the same day. She released a total of 31 songs and since then, fans have been speculating about who the songs might be about. They believe that Swift might be referring to Healy in some of her songs. While neither Swift nor Healy have spoken about this, Healy's aunt, Debbie Dedes, claimed that he was unfazed by it.

She further stated to the media publication—

"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 focussing on that."

Dedes remarked that Healy, the frontman for The 1975, is unfazed by the buzz the album has generated concerning their rumored connection.

She added—

"As my nephew, we know a bit more about what went on than has been in the press."

They were observed holding hands and spending time in each other's company at various events and locales, such as Taylor's performances where Healy was present in the family section, and at upscale New York City spots like Casa Cipriani.

The Tortured Poets Department is noted by all fans for its blend of synth-pop, rock, and folk influences, offering a sound that mixes the glossy 80s pop-rock vibes of Swift’s 1989 album with the more understated tones of Midnights.

The second part of the album, titled The Anthology, features mostly piano ballads and presents a more sedate sound reminiscent of Swift's Folklore and Evermore albums, focusing on character studies and reflective narratives.
