Wondering how Taylor Swift feels about her ex-boyfriend Matty Healy’s mom going onto Watch What Happens Live and telling everyone she’s “glad” not to be her mother-in-law? About that.
To rewind real fast, Andy Cohen asked Matty’s mom, Denise Welch, about The Tortured Poets Department, which is thought to be—at least in part—about Taylor’s relationship with Matty. And for some reason, Denise felt the need to respond to the question like this:
“Obviously, on pain of death, can I talk about that episode, but not being her mother-in-law is a role that I am glad that I lost. Not that I have anything against her at all! It was just, you know, it was tricky.”
Denise added, “She...listen, you’re not allowed to say anything, and then she writes a whole album about it. But Matty has taken it all in completely good grace. He’s very happy with his amazing fiancée Gabriella [Gabbriette], who is gorgeous. So, we’ve moved on.”
Cut to a Daily Mail source, who had this to say about Taylor’s reaction: “It’s a bit obnoxious in Taylor’s eyes, but she has to take the high road. If there was anything that would be in a future song of Taylor’s—if she were ever to respond—she would respond that way. But as of right now, she might just let it slide. She is not going to let Denise ruin her day.”
They added that “Taylor respected Denise and will continue to do so, as this will go away very quickly. But if Denise continues to talk about it and bash Taylor, then Taylor would say something. The ball is still in Denise’s court to see if she wants to continue the narrative she brought upon herself.”
Fair enough!
