Matty was reportedly ‘completely blindsided’ after Taylor targeted him in some tracks on her record-breaking 11th studio album.
Taylor is believed to have taken aim at The 1975 frontman in her song The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.
Last year a close friend of the British-born performer opened up to Us Weekly and revealed that Matty still had ‘mixed feelings’ regarding the record, which was released in April 2024.
‘He loves the attention it’s brought to him, [but] he also thinks it’s hilarious because at no time [were they] ever serious.’
In October, Matty explained why he doesn’t feel compelled to write about his ‘casual romantic liaisons’ in his music.
During an appearance on Joshua Citarella’s Doomscroll podcast, Matty shared: ‘Last year I became a way more well-known public figure for loads of different reasons.’
