Matty Healy’s Mom Has Sweet Message To Taylor Swift Amid ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ Controversy
Matty Healy's mom, Denise Welch, was not aware Taylor Swift released a new album.
Welch appeared as a guest on Thursday's episode of "Loose Women." On the show, host Nadia Sawalha asked her if she had heard "The Tortured Poets Department," which Swift released on April 19.
"I wasn't aware she had an album out at all. I haven't heard anything about it," she said. "Anyway, I wish her all the best."

Welch's statement comes after her son, Matty, was recently asked by a paparazzo how he would rate "[his] Taylor diss track compared to the 30 others" on the "TTPD" artist's "secret double album."
Without naming a specific song for The 1975 frontman to rate, Healy responded with a question, asking, "My diss track?"
He then laughed and politely continued, "I haven't really listened to that much of it, but I'm sure it's good."
The mother and son's responses seemed polite and sweet amid the speculations that several of the tracks on the "TTPD" album were about Swift's short-term fling with the band vocalist.
Aside from allegedly talking about Healy -- who writes songs using typewriters -- in the title track with the lines, "You left your typewriter at my apartment," some fans claimed that the song, "But Daddy I Love Him," was about him, too.
Fans claimed that the track was about Swift defending the English singer-songwriter from haters when they were rumored to be dating in 2023.
Other tracks fans believed to be about Matty were "Guilty as Sin?" and "I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)," among others.
Swift and Healy were briefly linked romantically in 2023 after the former's split from Joe Alwyn. In May 2023, Healy was spotted at "The Eras Tour" in Nashville. That same month, the two were reportedly caught on camera "cuddling and kissing" in New York City and were also seen leaving Electric Lady Studios at another time.
However, they reportedly broke up in June.
