Matty Healy’s Focus is on His New Girl, Not Taylor’s New Album

Taylor Swift’s highly-anticipated album “The Tortured Poets Department” was just released, and fans are analyzing the lyrics for clues about her past romantic connections. Several songs seem to be inspired by her brief romance with Matty Healy of the band The 1975 last year.

However, it appears Matty has moved on from that short-lived fling. He has been in a committed relationship with Gabbriette Bechtel for over six months now. According to his aunt Debbie Dedes, “He’s very happy in his new relationship so I’m sure he will be focusing on that.”

This is good news, as Taylor held nothing back writing about Matty on her album. Songs like “I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)” and “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” depict their time together in dramatic fashion. Dedes said the family expected this, knowing Taylor’s tendency to mine her personal experiences for material.

While the intimate details shared could be uncomfortable for some exes, Dedes says Matty will not be surprised. It seems he has accepted Taylor’s artistic process and is content in his current romance. All the songs could reopen old wounds for some, but Matty appears to have positively moved forward.

This new album gives fans deeper perspective into Taylor’s past relationships and inspirations. For Matty, it seems finding new love has helped him gain distance from their fleeting connection in the healthiest way.
