Many of the songs are speculated to be about her ex-boyfriend of six years, Joe Alwyn

However, there are a couple of other tracks that fans are certain are about The 1975 frontman.

Although Taylor doesn't directly mention Matt - who's mum is Denise Welch and dad Tim Healey - some of the songs on the new album appear to make digs at the 35-year-old British singer.

One of which is the lyrics in The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived where she referred to a man in his "Jehovah’s Witness suit... who the f*** was that guy?"

She added: "You tried to buy some pills from a friend of friends of mine. They just ghosted you... Now you know what it feels like..."

Fans of Taylor have taken to The 1975 social media account to slam the star.

One wrote: "How's the smallest man who ever lived?"

A second added: "Is Matty okay, Taylor finished him"

A third penned: "How does it feel to be the smallest man who ever lived?"

Now his family have bitten back, and jumped to Matt's defense.

Although his famous parents - who both starred in ITV's Benidorm - are yet to comment, his aunt has spoken on behalf of his family.

Debbie Dedes, who is Denise's sister, has revealed how she thinks Matt has reacted to the tracks.

She admitted, "nothing surprises him anymore".

Matt's very happy in his new relationship so I'm sure he will be focussing on that.

"Him and her know what went on."

Matt's auntie also told the Mail:: "She writes about all her relationships, doesn't she?

'"I don't think it will come as a shock to him at all.

"He's very happy in his new relationship so I'm sure he will be focussing on that."

Taylor and Matt got together in spring 2023 after they were spotted kissing during a Casa Cipriani date in New York City.

Years earlier, Matt told E! News he had “exchanged numbers” with Swift in 2014.

He said at the time: “Let’s see what happens.

“I mean bloody hell, what am I going to do? Go out with Taylor Swift? She’s a sensation, I wouldn’t say no.”

After a brief summer fling, they went their separate ways in June 2023.

Taylor is now dating NFL's Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, while Matt is in a relationship with model and musician Gabbriette Bechtel.
