Matty Healy to break silence on Taylor Swift fling on The 1975’s secret new album
THE 1975 are dropping an album this summer – but it could be bad news for Taylor Swift.
I can reveal that the band — who are also headlining Glastonbury Festival in June — have been secretly working on their sixth record, featuring the title song God Has Entered My Body.
And, on it, lead singer Matty Healy will finally open up about his short relationship with the pop queen.
Matty, alongside his bandmates Ross MacDonald, Adam Hann and George Daniel, has been beavering away in the studio and working with some top producers.
After briefly dating Tay for a month in 2023, the frontman is said to be the inspiration for several songs on her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department.
They include But Daddy I Love Him, Guilty As Sin?, Fresh Out The Slammer and The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.

Now it seems Matty will get his chance to respond on this new track, which is thought to be about their relationship and coping with fame.
Among the lyrics is the line, “Keep your head up Princess, your tiara is falling”.
A music insider said: “Everyone at the studio thought this was about Matty’s fling with Taylor and their fleeting romance.
“Matty will never publicly comment on his relationships, but he lets his deepest feelings out in his songs and gets everything off his chest.
“Fans will want to listen to the lyrics very carefully.
“With the band set to headline Glastonbury, a new album dropping in the summer makes perfect sense for them, so they can capitalise on the performance and have some new material.”
It comes after Matty dropped a subtle dig at Taylor late last year.
He said: “Last year, I became a way more well-known public figure for loads of different reasons.
“The only reason that I was interested in is kind of, like, what I was doing?”
Speaking on the Doomscroll podcast, he added: “I think that a lot of artists become very interested in their lore, or they become interested in the things that have happened outside of their art that people know about, and they want to address that [in their music.]”
I’m also told that the lads are looking to include some famous names on the album, including Charli XCX and FKA Twigs.
If they pull it off, it’ll be one sizzling summer indeed . . .
Willow's lost her home in LA blaze
WILL SMITH and Jada Pinkett Smith's daughter Willow was among the celebs whose mansions went up in smoke in Malibu, Biz on Sunday can reveal.
The Whip My Hair singer, who is also a panellist on her mum’s Red Table Talk show, bought her four-bedroom, five-bathroom home for £2.5million in 2020, boasting spectacular views of the Santa Monica Mountains and ocean.
Pics taken within the fire evacuation zone, which is being guarded to prevent looting, show the property was gutted by flames.
Willow has not talked about losing her home to her 11.7million followers on Instagram, but a reel she posted on Thursday night, quoting Hindu scripture the Bhagavad Gita, appeared to hint at the catastrophe.
The quote read: “The soul can never be cut to pieces by any weapon, nor burned by fire, nor moistened by water, nor withered by the wind.”
The wildfires have killed at least 27 people and more than 200,000 residents were forced to flee the flames.
In light of the devastation, Oscars bosses will ditch their “usual A-list back slapping fest” ahead of the ceremony on March 2.
Execs are already tearing up their long-standing formulaic scripts of dishing out awards in favour of a more “human ceremony”.
Meanwhile, I am told the UK will come to the rescue of the US film and TV industry as key Hollywood figures expect British film hubs to take on future multimillion-dollar productions.
Jase: Len is ab fab
JASON DERULO memorably flaunted his abs of steel in the video for his hit Talk Dirty.
But the singer admitted that even he felt out of shape when he saw American rocker Lenny Kravitz topless on stage.
Chatting to our Emily in the presidential suite at the London Hilton hotel on Park Lane, Jason revealed that he has completely overhauled his diet.
Speaking about Lenny, he said: “I’ve been really inspired. I saw Lenny performing about two months ago and he had his shirt off.
“Lenny is in his sixties and I was just like: ‘Holy s**t - someone at that age has a better body than me, I should be ashamed of myself.’
“And instantly, I swear, I kid you not, I went on the craziest diet and this craziest workout regime since then.”
Despite being surrounded by a lavish afternoon tea spread in his suite, Jason stuck to his diet.
He said: “I’m just intermittent fasting and not having any carbs – just straight protein and only having dinner. Lenny is on a raw vegan diet – I’m not doing that but I was just shocked at the way he looks in his sixties.”
Meanwhile Jason – who has collaborated with Bollywood megastar Nora Fatehi on a new single called Snake – said it is great to still receive flirty messages from his fans.
With a cheeky glint in his eye, Jason said: “I get a little something, it’s nice, it’s nice.”
Take it from us, Jason is still as hot as ever.
Early barf, Candice
BAKE OFF winner Candice Brown has revealed she drank so much with Alan Carr that she vomited – but she now hopes for an introduction to Adele.
The baker, who runs The Green Man pub in Milton Keynes, had a wild night in Brighton with the Chatty Man comic.
At a Cirque du Soleil, in London’s Royal Albert Hall, she said: “The most famous person on my phone I’m speaking to at the moment is Alan Carr.
“He is a dream. We go out drinking. We had a debauched night in Brighton, he won because I puked. He knows Adele.
“I haven’t met her but I’d pass out, wet my pants.”
Adele’s in for a treat, then.
Molly's fears on doc
MOLLY-MAE HAGUE says she felt uneasy calling the first screening of her documentary a “premiere”.
The influencer said she discussed scaling down the launch event for her Prime Video show, Molly-Mae: Behind It All, as it felt like she was celebrating her split with boxer Tommy Fury.
Molly looked glam in a white suit as she was joined by her sister Zoe Hague, mum Debbie Gordon and dad Stephen Hague at the screening held at the Odeon Luxe West End in central London’s on Thursday.
In her latest YouTube vlog, she said: “I said to Prime Video it felt weird having a celebration when some of the doc is focused on a hard time with my break-up.
“And with the premiere thing, they wanted to have a large amount of people there and it didn’t feel right having, like, an event. It technically is a premiere, but it is more of what I am calling a friends and family screening.”
The first three episodes of the documentary dropped on Friday with the next set being filmed for the spring.
Go for it, Danny
FORMER rugby ace Danny Cipriani could be appearing on E4 reality show Celebs Go Dating.
It comes after his recent split from actress Annalynne McCord after nine months together.
The hunk, who has previously dated Kelly Brook and Katie Price, has retired from rugby and has been doing more telly work, including Netflix’s Bear Hunt.
A source said: “Producers are desperate to sign Danny for the next series of Celebs Go Dating and are preparing a big-money offer.
“They think he will be great on the show and will offer fans a new side to him, especially when he opens up with the coaches.”
I’m sure he’ll be a pro at tackling dating dilemmas.
Sold on new sunsets
NETFLIX’S Selling Sunset is heading to Europe.
I can reveal producers are in talks to set up a Selling Monaco addition to the franchise, as the country is home to the world’s wealthiest people.
A source said: “It will be on a whole different level and fans can expect all the drama they know and love from the original Selling Sunset series – just with a bigger price tag. Filming is expected to take place in the early summer, with a new cast guaranteed to bring the drama.”
Selling Sunset, based in LA, first dropped on Netflix in 2019 and has had spin-offs in New York, Florida and Orange County.
