Matty Healy didn’t break Taylor Swift’s heart, it was the other way around

After years of their breakup, Matty Healy’s mother, Denise Welch spoke about the same and highlighted the ‘ordeal’ it had on him. During her appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Welch said that she had nothing against Taylor, but “not being her [Swift's] mother-in-law is a role that I'm glad that I lost."

She called the breakup ‘tricky’ but also stated how the split left her son in a bad condition. When Andy asked Welch her thoughts on Swift’s Tortured Poet’s Department album, which was reportedly about Healy and his romance with the singer, Welch replied, “You're not allowed to say anything, and then she writes a whole album."

“It's a horrible thing to have the most famous person in the world saying that your son broke her heart when it was the other way around, and then you can't even defend yourself. Denise is still Matty's mum at the end of the day, and it was bloody hard for her to stay quiet during the whole ordeal because she knows that her son got hurt.”
