When Margot Robbie said “I want to be a portion of the men and women that make this means, not the issue that is made” in Barbie, she was possibly channeling Matty Healy. The 1975’s frontman suggests he hasn’t listened to all of The Tortured Poets Division, which…fair. It is a double album that is a whole lot of songs! When requested about his “diss track” by a paparazzi in Los Angeles, Healy said “I have not genuinely listened to that significantly of it, but I’m confident it’s fantastic.” Maybe Matty and his typewriter can make the time before long.
Healy is not the first alleged muse of Taylor who refuses to gaze upon her portraits. When questioned if he’d listened to Crimson (Taylor’s Edition), Jake Gyllenhaal mentioned he hadn’t. “It has nothing to do with me,” he explained to Esquire. “It’s about her romance with her enthusiasts. It is her expression. Artists tap into personal experiences for inspiration, and I do not begrudge anyone that.”
Substantially of the internet chittering all around TTPD has been more than which songs are about Healy vs. which are about Taylor Swift’s other latest ex, Joe Alwyn. And, of study course, they could all be about eventualities Swift made up in her head, or the connection involving Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes, or really an extension of Swift’s mystery enthusiast-fiction empire. Hey, it could take place.
