According to Dedes, Matty Healy and Swift 'know what went on' and his current relationship is his priority.

A second wrote: She takes aim at everybody she actually is not a nice person. When you listen to her music she needs to seek some help and she is not better than anybody else. She needs to learn that too
While a third commented: Seriously, shut up about her new album. It’s like a self fulfilling prophecy every time she releases something.
Another added: He is a nazi so nothing he says matters . and i dont like taylor
Someone else said: But when men write songs about women, and call them all sorts of defamatory names, you don't make any sort of fuss about it.
Taylor Swift believed that the songs are targeted at Matty Healy.
Swift, who briefly dated Matty last spring, is widely believed to take aim at him in the song "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived" among others.
This has prompted renewed fan scrutiny of the period when she was dating The 1975 frontman.
The lyrics refer to a man in a 'Jehovah's Witness suit' and 'rusting my (Swift's) sparkling summer'.
Matty, known for wearing distinctive black suits during live performances, is believed to be the subject of these lyrics. The pair are believed to have broken up in June 2023.
