The romantic involvement between Taylor Swift and Matty Healy has been officially over for more than two years, but the aftermath still lingers.
And it appears that the duration has not been sufficient for her ardent fans. Additionally, it seems that perhaps Healy's mother shares a similar sentiment.
Welch has openly suggested that her son may have escaped a difficult situation. This perspective contrasts sharply with the views held by many in the public domain.

Recent interactions have seen Taylor Swift receiving some subtle criticisms from Denise Welch, the mother of Matty Healy.
In the episode aired on Thursday, July 24, of Watch What Happens Live, Welch had the opportunity to engage in a conversation with host Andy Cohen.
During this lively segment, they touched upon the highly anticipated album The Tortured Poets Department, released in 2024, which surprisingly features several tracks that seem to reflect on Healy’s past relationship with Swift.
“I am under strict orders not to discuss that episode,” Welch humorously remarked.
“I’m relieved that I’m no longer in the position of being her mother-in-law,” she candidly shared.
This bold admission drew gasps of surprise from the audience, highlighting the tension surrounding her son’s past.
“It’s not that I harbor any animosity towards her,” Welch expertly clarified. “It’s just that the situation was quite complicated.”

Denise Welch expressed her frustration over her inability to address the Taylor Swift and Matty Healy situation while the billionaire singer seems unfettered in her expression.
“It feels unjust that I’m not permitted to say anything,” she vented, “yet she manages to produce an entire album centered around it.”
It’s important to note that none of the tracks on TTPD explicitly mention Healy by name.
Moreover, the album title possibly references another former partner, Joe Alwyn.

Welch reiterated that Healy has taken Swift’s musical reflections about their past relationship with an admirable sense of humor.
She proudly stated: “He is currently very content with his beautiful fiancée, Gabriella, who is truly stunning. We’ve all moved forward.”
