The 1975 frontman's aunt Debbie Dedes suggests that her nephew has anticipated the pop superstar writing a song about him after fans speculate that 'The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived' refers to the rocker.

AceShowbiz - Taylor Swift's highly anticipated album "The Tortured Poets Department" was released on Friday, April 19, igniting a frenzy of fan speculation over the potential targets of its songs. One track, "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived", has been widely believed to refer to Matty Healy, whom Swift briefly dated last spring.
The song's lyrics include references to a man in a "Jehovah's Witness suit" and allusions to "rusting [Swift's] sparkling summer." Healy is known for wearing black suits during live performances, and his relationship with Swift reportedly ended in June 2023.
In response to the speculation, Healy's aunt Debbie Dedes has expressed skepticism about Swift's candor regarding her ex-partners. "Nothing surprises him anymore," said Dedes. "He will not be surprised by the song. Him and her know what went on."
Dedes went on to hint that Healy has his own version of the events that he has chosen not to share publicly. She also noted that he is currently in a "very happy" new relationship and is focusing on that.
Swift's album has been met with largely positive reviews, with critics praising its sharp lyrics and introspective nature. However, some fans have expressed concern about her apparent willingness to "blast" her former boyfriends in her music.
The speculation surrounding "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived" and other songs on the album has rekindled interest in Healy and Swift's relationship, which made headlines last year despite never being officially confirmed by either party.
