He's a generational a$$hat!
What a lame.
These men sound boring. No wonder things didn't stick. 😅
Still thinking about her Matty? 😉❤
He’s so pretentious, and not in the “I actually think I’m above everyone else”, kind of way. He’s pretentious in a very insecure and performative way. Sucks because his music, albeit hit or miss, is actually pretty good. He takes himself way too seriously while pretending to be laidback. 😂
Can only think TS made a big mistake going out with him, he seems very bitter and arrogant. She must have been suffering a major bout of low self-esteem. On another note the voice over on this clip is so annoying!
If you have to claim you're the greatest, you might not be the greatest 😉
The man is mocking her trash music
alexa, play the smallest man who ever lived by taylor swift 🤷🏻♀️✨
imagine having to state your are the greatest songwriter of your generation 😂 its like that iconic tywin lannister quote “a man who needs to claim he is a king is no real king”, or something like this 🤷🏻♀️
People in his mind is Taylor swift the only the song writer in the world
Matty is a drug addict who eats raw meat 🥩
Matty you are a genius musician but you are a mid writer- face the truth!! Most of your songs have 5 repetitive sentences with the most common phrases. And it’s coming from a 1975 fan!! You devalue your band mates talent ( who are immaculate musicians and your band is known for the musical excellence, not necessarily lyrical!!) the same way you devalue your women. Just because you feel grandiosity, doesn’t mean you are great, baby boy! Get a psychiatrist to treat your NPD for once.
Matty wanting to get Taylor’s attention Again!
Oh Matty, you're not Dylan Thomas. More like Dr. Seuss.
That lyric — “Keep your head up Princess, your tiara is falling” — feels like Matty’s quiet reply to Taylor’s album digs. It’s clever and subtle, but fans are definitely decoding the conversation 🎶
I want Taylor's new songs about her Ex – Kamala.
Dude is so full of himself
He calls himself all those things. No one else thinks that he is. He’s drinking his own kool aid.
She's been sucking on my life, on me for 15 years, that's their political oportunistic leech game through "talents" like hers – is he the first to figure it out? Congratulations. At least one, if.
You know that Dire Straits song 'Skateaway'? That's what's going on, regarding Selena Gomez and such, as well. Yeah, since 1979. That's how they do it, except now we know. The world knows. She and them can keep playing dull, if she wants, but karma's coming nevertheless.
Pop pooped culture stars nowadays think they're so special they order their handlers to bottle their farts.
She sure is living in his head rent free
Keep drinking Buddy!
Are we missing the deep sarcasm? He followed it with “chocolate” which is the least deep song they’ve ever done
This had nothing to do with Taylor Swift. He’s just being himself. Jesus 🤦♀️
Not everything in the world has to do with Taylor Swift. Write a better headline.
She certainly hasn’t been anywhere near his nasty bits. 🤮😵💫🥴
Matt Healy is very good and I am sure it is better best than favorite strawberry ptortured poet Taylor Swift. !!
He's not very stable person just listening to him why would anyone listen to him? She dumped him like right away.
She was dropping hints about him on her tour before, what’s wrong when he does the same thing she did?
thought he was going to be honest and say swift is really a dude
Not everything is about Taylor Swift.
