Matty Healy's aunt is speaking up after Taylor Swift released her new album, The Tortured Poets Department.

Swifties have assumed that her TTPD track "Guilty as Sin?" was about The 1975 frontman as it references him several times, including hints about "The Downtown Lights" by the Scottish band The Blue Nile -- Healy's favorite group.

Following the release, Healy's aunt commented on Swift's move and revealed that the singer "would not be surprised by the song."

Matty Healy's Family Shares Thoughts About the Song

Speaking with The Daily Mail, Healy's aunt (his mother's sister), Debbie Dedes, said both the male singer and Swift know what went on.


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

Fans speculate that in addition to "Guilty as Sin?," Swift also sang about Healy in her songs "The Tortured Poets Department," "I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)," "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived," and "But Daddy I Love Him."

Swift and Healy were linked between May and June 2023 before she started dating Travis Kelce. However, their romance seemingly fizzled out.

Did Matty Healy Respond to Taylor Swift's Album?

A source recently spoke to Us Weekly about Healy and his family's reaction to the album.

"Matty still thinks very highly of Taylor but we were all nervous about what she might have said on the album," said the insider, adding that Healy was relieved and "could not be happier" with how the song about him turned out.

"Matty's family knew about the relationship," the insider added. "And they were worried that Taylor was going to rip him apart. Matty has struggled with life in the public eye, and he's been doing really well, but the last thing he needs is for every Swiftie in the world to think he's a villain."

Healy also felt nervous about how the Swifties would treat him if Swift wrote something negative about him.
