Matty Healy has addressed rumors that The 1975’s next album will reference his brief but highly publicized romance with Taylor Swift.
The speculation began after an alleged lyric from the upcoming album surfaced online. A report from The Sun claimed that the album—possibly titled God Has Entered My Body—contains a track of the same name, which could be about his short-lived relationship with Swift in 2023.
Healy’s cryptic response fuels fan theories
Swift’s fans—known as Swifties—and The 1975’s loyal followers immediately dissected the rumored lyric:
“Keep your head up, princess, your tiara is falling.”
The line quickly sparked theories that Healy was referencing Swift, as the pop star has often been associated with royalty imagery in her music and public persona.
As speculation swirled, Healy himself weighed in on the conversation in a Reddit forum dedicated to the band. Writing from his verified account, he simply responded:
“Huge if true.”
His cryptic remark only fueled the growing speculation, leaving fans to wonder whether he was confirming the rumors or playfully dismissing them.
Is The 1975’s new album inspired by Taylor Swift?
According to The Sun, an unnamed industry insider suggested that Healy’s songwriting often serves as a reflection of his personal experiences, stating:
“Matty will never publicly comment on his relationships, but he lets his deepest feelings out in his songs and gets everything off his chest.”
While Healy and Swift’s romance was brief, it generated intense media attention in 2023 following Swift’s breakup with longtime partner Joe Alwyn. The two were spotted spending time together, leading to widespread speculation about the nature of their relationship.
However, their rumored relationship was short-lived, with reports emerging that Swift ended things within a few weeks.
Despite this, Healy’s history of introspective and emotionally raw lyrics makes it plausible that he could reference the relationship in his music. Fans remain divided, with some eagerly awaiting the album’s release to see if any lyrics explicitly reference Swift.
At this point, neither Healy nor Swift has confirmed or denied whether their past relationship will play a role in the album’s lyrical content.
For now, The 1975 fans and Swifties alike will have to wait and see if God Has Entered My Body offers any further insight into one of 2023’s most talked-about rumored romances.
