A recent article criticizing Denise Welch’s son, who is a former flame of Taylor Swift, prompted a response from the pop star’s mother.
Denise Welch, a British TV personality, is the mother of Matt Healy from The 1975. They started dating in 2023 after knowing each other for some time.
Healy recently announced his engagement to model Gabbriette Bechtel on Twitter.
When some questioned the timing of Healy’s engagement news, Welch brushed off the criticism, saying, “The timing was intentional. If you think otherwise, then you must be pretty bitter and toxic. Personally, I think they make a lovely couple.”
Welch’s response prompted a Twitter user to state, “Not everybody’s life revolves around Taylor Swift.”
Welch responded to this comment with a series of laughing and crying emojis.
Fans of Swift speculate that her album contains references to Healy.
When asked about this on a UK panel show where Welch often appears, she diplomatically replied, “I wasn’t even aware she had an album. Anyway, I hope she has a successful career.”
Healy shared his thoughts on Swift’s album shortly after its release in April.
Swift fans recently discovered an old connection between Swift and Healy, as she appeared on a UK TV show for the first time back in 2009.
Swift’s debut on the show went viral after a fan uploaded the clip where she discussed her rise to fame and performed her single “Love Story.”
Swift and Healy briefly dated in 2023, following Swift’s split from long-term partner Joe Alwyn. It was rumored they worked on a song together that never materialized.
