As Taylor Swift basks in the glow of her relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce, an unexpected figure from her past has resurfaced—Matty Healy. The 35-year-old frontman of The 1975 is rumored to be working on a memoir, titled Words, which promises to be filled with intriguing insights into his life.
Among the most anticipated details? Potential revelations about his brief romance with Taylor Swift in 2023.
Swift and Healy’s relationship was fleeting, but it left a lasting impression on both fans and, seemingly, on Healy himself. Taylor, who has a history of channeling personal experiences into her music, is widely believed to have alluded to their short-lived romance in her upcoming album The Tortured Poets Department. Reports suggest that Healy was caught off guard by these references, and now, with his own book in the works, speculation is swirling about whether he will respond in kind.
Unlike traditional celebrity memoirs, Words is rumored to take a different approach. Sources claim that Healy will be writing in a mix of lyrical poetry and short stories, rather than a straightforward tell-all. This unique format aligns with his artistic persona, making the book more than just a retelling of events—it will be an experience, filled with metaphor and emotion.
An industry insider has described the project as “juicy,” hinting that while it may not be a direct exposé, it will still be packed with insights. “Matty is likely to pen lyrical poems and short stories rather than a bog-standard tell-all book—that is fitting with his creative style. But anything he does reveal will be juicy,” the source added.
With such a promise, fans of both Healy and Swift are bracing for what could be a poetic yet deeply personal reflection on their time together.
While Taylor Swift has not directly addressed her relationship with Healy in public, her music often serves as a window into her emotions and past experiences. The rumored references to Healy in The Tortured Poets Department have already sparked discussions, with some believing that lyrics may allude to the whirlwind nature of their romance, while others speculate she could be reflecting on the emotional toll it took on her.
If Healy indeed responds through his memoir, it could be seen as his way of reclaiming the narrative. For Swift, who has built a career on candid storytelling through her lyrics, this wouldn’t be the first time an ex-partner has responded to her music.
However, the poetic nature of Healy’s approach makes this situation uniquely compelling.
Amidst this brewing storm, Taylor Swift has been publicly enjoying her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce. The two have become one of the most talked-about couples in pop culture, with their affectionate appearances at football games and public outings making headlines.
For Swift, Kelce represents stability—a stark contrast to the enigmatic and unpredictable aura that surrounded her romance with Healy. Sources close to her suggest that she is not paying much attention to the memoir rumors, instead focusing on her personal happiness and upcoming music releases.
However, the timing of Healy’s book announcement, coming shortly after Swift’s album tease, has fueled speculation about whether this is purely coincidental or a calculated move. Fans are divided, with some believing that Healy is using Swift’s name for attention, while others argue that he has every right to share his side of the story.
With Words expected to be structured in smaller stories with unexpected twists, there’s no telling exactly how much Healy will reveal about his past with Swift. Will he offer direct insights, or will his words be veiled in poetic ambiguity? Either way, the anticipation is building.
For now, Swift remains focused on her present, basking in the happiness of her relationship with Kelce and gearing up for what is expected to be another record-breaking album release. Whether or not Healy’s book stirs up past emotions for her, one thing is certain: their brief romance continues to capture public fascination.
As fans eagerly await both The Tortured Poets Department and Words, the intersection of music, poetry, and personal history is set to make for one of the most intriguing cultural moments of the year.
