    Watch the moment Matty Healy breaks his silence on ex Taylor Swift’s song branding him ‘the smallest man in the world’

    TAYLOR Swift’s ex-boyfriend Matty Healy has finally revealed what he thinks about her new album after fans claimed a number of tracks are about him.The 1975 frontman dated Taylor following her split from Brit actor Joe Alwyn last year.Matty Healy has broken his silence on Taylor Swift’s new albumCredit: GettyTaylor’s The Tortured Poets Department has got everyone talkingCredit: EPATaylor Swift’s ex Matty Healy is working on new music for The 1975Credit: GettyThe whirlwind rebound romance saw the pair spend time together on both sides of the Atlantic, before Taylor moved on with her beer-chugging NFL superstar partner Travis Kelce.Swifties have been poring over every track of her new record, The Tortured Poets Department, and believe tracks like The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived, Guilty as Sin? and But Daddy I Love Him are all about Healy.The critical lyrics of ‘Smallest Man’ read: “Was any of it true?/ Gazing at me starry-eyed/ In your Jehovah’s Witness suit/ Who the f*** was that guy?/ You tried to buy some pills/ From a friend of friends of mine/ They just ghosted you/ Now you know what it feels like.”The frontman had a mature response when a journalist approached him on the street in the US and asked for his thoughts on Taylor’s “diss” track about him.READ MORE ON TAYLOR SWIFTWearing a navy hoodie and white vest top, a surprised Matty said: “My diss track? Oh [laughs], I haven’t listened to the album much but I’m sure it’s good.”He then politely continued on his way, casually walking along the sidewalk.The response garnered respect from music fans.One person said: “This is a very mature response coming from someone’s ex tbh.”Most read in MusicAnother agreed, saying: He’s known for being incredibly mature about all of his relationships since becoming a famous musician so this is just normal Matty Healy stuff.However, his true feelings might be different when his band’s sixth album is eventually released.Travis Kelce plans to take his Kelce Jam festival on nationwide tour to 8 cities with help of girlfriend Taylor SwiftLast night we exclusively revealed that Healy is working on new music and, crucially, didn’t sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) during his romance with Taylor.Those who know Healy told us he had no idea he was going to be referenced and only found out when his name started trending on social media last Friday.A source said: “Matty is currently keeping a low profile working on The 1975’s next album.“This time last week he had no idea he was about to become one of the most talked about men on the planet. “He has opted to keep silent, but no NDA has been signed. “Like Taylor, he uses his music as a form of release and storytelling. “It’s naturally caused him to think about their time together and he’s never been one to hold back when speaking his mind.“Also like Taylor, he’s moved on and is very happy with his current relationship with Gabbriette Bechtel.“But there is nothing stopping him from writing about his romance with Taylor and having his say on what she said about him.“Fans of the band should be keeping an eye out when that album drops.”Healy has got form when it comes to writing about his love life.He previously wrote about his relationship with American star Halsey, after she hammered him on her 2016 single Colours.On the song, she said of Healy: “You’re only happy when your sorry head is filled with dope/I hope you make it to the day you’re 28 years old.”The 1975’s 2016 track She’s American is thought to be about Halsey, and was far more favourable than her ode to him.READ MORE SUN STORIESIn it, Healy sings: “I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful yet So Unaware of It.”Taylor is in a relationship with NFL star Travis KelceCredit: GettyTaylor was with Joe Alwyn for six yearsCredit: GettyTimeline of Taylor and Joe’s RelationshipThe couple had six years together, much of which they tried to keep a secret.

    Noughties rock legend, 45, has barely aged a day 24 years on from band’s debut album and messy split from famous ex

    SHE’S the punk/rock heroine whose riotous sound was inspired by Hole frontwoman Courtney Love.Brody Dalle’s band The Distillers were a breath of fresh air when they exploded onto the scene in 2000 with their self-titled debut.Brody Dalle performing at Reading FestivalCredit: GettyDripping with attitude, snarling vocals and fast riffs, the band matched and, in many cases, surpassed their male led contemporaries.The Distillers were formed when headstrong Dalle, 45, moved from her native Australia to Los Angeles after falling in love with Rancid frontman Tim Armstrong.However, there was also a darker reason for wanting to flee her homeland.”I moved to America with money I got from the government of Australia for being sexually abused,” she told the Guardian.READ MORE ON ROCK MUSIC”I’d gone through a couple of court cases when I was 14, 15 years old, and I’d been compensated for one of them. When I turned 18, I got that money and got the f**k outta there.”Dalle was just 16 and playing with her band Sourpuss when she met punk legend Armstrong, then 30, at a festival Down Under in 1995.Two years later they were engaged and a wedding followed months later.The marriage ended in 2003 amid allegations of controlling behaviour while Dalle said it took her three years to pluck up the courage to finally call it quits. Most read in MusicIt was at this time that The Distillers were at the height of their powers releasing sophomore record Sing Sing Death House and their most commercial record Coral Fang.However, the intensity of their touring schedule led the band to implode in 2005, with Dalle explaining: “We were sick of each other, uninspired.”Brody with her NME Rock ‘n’ Roll Woman of the Year AwardCredit: AlamyQueens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme with ex-wife BrodyCredit: AlamyRock poster girl Dalle’s personal life was blooming even if musically she was at a crossroads.She married Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme that year, quit drugs, and their first child, daughter Camille, was born in January 2006.They went on to have sons and two sons Orrin, 12, and Wolf, eight, before their marriage hit the skids too in acrimonious fashion.Dalle filed for divorce in 2019 citing Homme’s substance abuse as the reason.Though they managed to co-parent successfully initially, things took a dark turn and a bitter custody battle saw accusations of domestic abuse from both parties and restraining orders filed.In March 2022, the Los Angeles Family Court awarded Homme sole legal custody of all three children.A further custody hearing had been scheduled for late last year but no updates have been reported.Last year Homme told the Sun why he doesn’t speak publicly about the court battle.He said: “For a guy who will talk s**t there’s some things that I would never engage in.“Many times, I’ve behaved very feral and made mistakes but certain things that are just sacrosanct. There’s a time to be quiet. I have no presence online.“There are lines I just won’t cross. You close your eyes and let it wash over you and just be quiet.”After the Distillers split in 2005, Dalle continued making music.Her Spinnerette project with QoTSA collaborator Alain Johannes released an album in 2009, while Dalle put out her one solo album, Diploid Love, in 2014.The Distillers reunited in 2018 but have yet to put out a fourth album.READ MORE SUN STORIESRevealing why the band reformed in a 2020 interview with Kerrang, Dalle said: “I don’t know, I think it’s just about magical timing. We were all in the right place in our lives and we all missed it so much. “For me there wasn’t a day that I didn’t think about The Distillers. We had tried to get back together briefly about eight years ago, but it just didn’t feel right. This time felt immediately right.”Brody’s band The Distillers have released three albumsCredit: Alamy More
