Welch Reacts to Swift's Alleged Healy Album

Denise Welch, mother of The 1975's Matty Healy, commented on Taylor Swift's album allegedly referencing her son's 2023 relationship with the singer during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. Welch expressed relief at not becoming Swift's mother-in-law and frustration that Swift could publicly address the relationship in her music while Welch herself must remain silent. Audience and online reactions to her remarks were mixed, with some defending Welch and others criticizing her for reviving the topic. Welch emphasized she holds no personal animosity toward Swift and praised her son's composure amid public attention. She noted that Matty Healy is now engaged to model Gabbriette Bechtel, while Swift is in a high-profile relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce. Songs from Swift's album The Tortured Poets Department are widely believed to reference Healy, though neither Swift nor Healy has confirmed this.
