We'd by no means advocate for hounding celebrities out and about, however on this case, gotta say, we salute citizen journalism (aka paparazzi). Matty Healy, lead singer of The 1975, was simply requested how he feels about his ex Taylor Swift's blockbuster album The Tortured Poets Division, which followers have speculated is essentially about their relationship.
For individuals who have not listened or caught up but, TTPD covers lots of floor, being a double album, however one concept referenced in lots of songs is a passionate however all-too-brief affair that left the singer heartbroken. It is Swift's first album since her break up from longtime boyfriend Joe Alwyn, and over the course of recording it, she dated and break up from Healy.
However no, she would not “just write about her exes,” there are also songs about childhood, fame, self-loathing and depression! The Swiftoverse is expansive!
Anyway…
In a video posted by Entertainment Tonight, a paparazzo asks Matty Healy to price his “diss track compared to the 30 others” on the album, presumably referring to the tune “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,” although actually lots of the tracks do not paint him in a really flattering mild.
“Diss track?” Healy asks. Then he smiles, says he “hasn't really listened to that much” of the album however that he is “sure it's good,” smiles, thanks the pap and walks away.
