00:00To Taylor Swift's ex who I wish we could dim the lights here for the shade that's about to come
00:06and I got to think that Matty Healy knows what he's what he was saying here and knows that this
00:12is a not only a jab at Taylor but it will unite all Swifties against him and he is ready for it.
00:19This is what he said about new music that he's writing. He was on the Doomscroll podcast and
00:25talked about what he would be writing about. They're not going to be songs about particular
00:31exes and listen to how he describes Taylor Swift. If I made a record about, I don't know,
00:41all the stuff that was said about me or my casual romantic liaisons or whatever it may be
00:50that I've kind of become known for just because I was famous, I think that that's an obvious thing
00:59to draw from and I'm just not interested in it. The idea of making a record about something that
01:09personally happened to me that by the time I put it out is going to be like two years old,
01:16I mean I see people doing that as well and it's just like it's not interesting.
01:22I see people doing that? What people Matty?
01:29I think it's pretty obvious this is major Taylor Swift ex-shade. Obviously she's a billionaire
01:36because of her music. I think she's like the only self-made musician that has only become a
01:44billionaire from her songs, from her music. If you look at Rihanna, she's had makeup lines and
01:49stuff like that, but the reason why she's so successful a lot of people believe is because
01:54she writes from her experiences with exes. She's written about Joe Jonas, John Mayer, Taylor Lautner,
02:00Jake Gyllenhaal. She never mentions them by name, Matty Healy, but if you remember she wrote a song
02:09people believe about Matty called the smallest man that ever lived. I feel like this is him
02:17kind of throwing shade and didn't like what she wrote about him. And by the way there was
02:24one word in there to me that it cuts like a knife. Casual. Casual. Casual relationship.
02:31Casual romantic. That word. At least he didn't say fling. That's true. But I think that's
02:38what he meant. That's pretty much what he meant. Hi I'm Rihanna. Hi there. And I think that, I don't
02:45know, I think he's a little bit jealous that she has so much stardom. Everybody uses experiences
02:50that they've been through to make art. That's how you relate to your fans and the other people. Yeah
02:56I mean it's true. You don't have to call her out by name, but you could certainly write a song.
03:00If you feel it, you should write it. Yeah. Kind of the principle of art. I found this kind of
03:06interesting that he's now poking the bear. Yeah. He is poking the bear. And I think he wants to.
03:12Because by the way, if he didn't talk about it that way, we're not here talking about it. That's
03:16true. That's true. The double-edged sword here, it's his relevancy. Absolutely.
