Matty Healy hasn't 'really listened' to Taylor Swift's “Tortured Poets Department” but is 'sure it's good'

The 1975 frontman doesn't seem particularly fazed by the album, which some fans think features references to his brief relationship with Swift.

Matty Healy doesn't appear to be too tortured by Taylor Swift's latest album, at least not yet.

In a paparazzi video published by TMZ and other outlets Wednesday, the lead singer of the 1975 is asked about Swift's album The Tortured Poets Department, which many fans have speculated contains references to him and his short-lived romance with Swift last year. "How would you rate your Taylor diss track compared to the 30 others?" the cameraman asks Healy.

After taking a moment to process the question, the hoodie-clad musician chuckles slightly and replies, "I haven't really listened to that much of it. But I'm sure it's good."

Healy, 35, and Swift, 34, never publicly confirmed their romance but were rumored to be dating last spring, shortly after the announcement of Swift's split from Joe Alwyn, whom she dated for six years. Swift and Healy's courtship only lasted about a month, as the two were spotted out and around New York City, as well as at a recording studio. Healy was also seen at several of Swift's Eras Tour stops, including Nashville and Philadelphia.

Some listeners have theorized that several songs on Swift's new album are about Healy and their brief love affair. Observers have pointed to the tattoos in the title track as a clear reference to Healy.

Additionally, some have surmised that Swift's "But Daddy I Love Him!" is a rebuttal to fans who objected to her relationship with Healy because of controversial remarks he made in the past.

For Healy's part, though, it seems as if he's taking Swift's own advice and shaking it off.
