If This Taylor Swift Album Leak Is Real, It’s All About Matty Healy
GettyTaylor Swift’s most devoted fans went into a tailspin on Wednesday evening when alleged leaks of her forthcoming new album, The Tortured Poets Department, hit the internet in what appeared to be its entirety. “You smoked then ate seven bars of chocolate / We declared Charlie Puth / should be a bigger artist / I scratch your head, you fall asleep / Like a tattooed Golden Retriever,” one fragment distributed by Swifties reads. While most of the audio ripping across X on Wednesday has already been taken down due to copyright violations, the overwhelming consensus among fans is already that the bulk of the album’s lyrical content concerns not actor Joe Alwyn, whose six-year relationship with Swift reportedly ended last year, but Matty Healy, the problematic lead singer of The 1975 and a former situationship of Swift’s.
