Brutal twist after Taylor Swift's celebrity romance: ‘Terrible'
Bad blood indeed. Matty Healy's mum, Denise Welch, isn't over the 'heartbreak' her son endured after his short-lived romance with Taylor Swift ended — that's why she couldn't stay quiet on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Thursday. 'It's a horrible thing to have the most famous person in the world saying that your son broke her heart when it was the other way around, and then you can't even defend yourself,' a source told Us Weekly on Saturday. They added, 'She's saying the mother-in-law stuff because that's where Matty thought it was headed. She's entitled to her opinion.' Reps for Welch and Healy did not immediately return Page Six 's request for comment. When asked by Andy Cohen what she thought of Swift's Tortured Poet's Department album — purported to be about The 1957 frontman and his romance with the singer that lasted only about a month in May 2023 — Welch declared that 'not being her mother-in-law is a role that I am glad that I lost.' As the audience gasped, the Celebrity Big Brother UK star, 67, quickly added that she doesn't 'have anything against [Swift] at all,' and called the situation 'tricky.' 'She — listen, you're not allowed to say anything, and then she writes a whole album about it,' Welch said of the Love Story hitmaker. Us Weekly 's insider said it's been difficult for Welch to keep quiet when it comes to her son's former romance. 'Any mum can imagine what it would feel like — but then you have to multiply it by a million because of how famous [Taylor] is,' they told the outlet. 'I wish I could say she's used to it, but she's not.' The source also said that the reality star 'is still Matty's mum at the end of the day, and it was bloody hard for her to stay quiet during the whole ordeal.' 'Now that time has gone by, she's saying what she can because she knows that her son got hurt.' The insider asserted that 'you can't blame a mum for standing up for her child,' and called their split 'terrible' for Healy. Swift, 35, has since gone on to a widely publicised relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, while Healy, 36, is engaged to model and actress Gabbriette Bechtel. On Watch What Happens Live, Welch insisted the family has 'moved on' from the alleged drama. 'He is very happy with his amazing fiancee Gabriella, who is gorgeous,' she said.

With a working title of 'Taylor', the series, which is set to air later this year, will explore the Bad Blood billionaire's rise to global stardom as one of the world's most successful pop stars. According to Channel 4, the programme will 'dig deep' into Taylor's 20-year career through interviews with high-profile commentators, industry insiders, and fans. The documentary will also 'examine the forces that have shaped her trajectory and the devoted community she has inspired'. And 'rare archive will reveal fresh insights into Taylor and her story as the series charts her journey from ambitious teen with towering dreams to one of the most influential and scrutinised figures of our time'. Director, Guy Fall (The Fall, Bombing Brighton), Guy King, claims the billionaire is "unprecedentedly powerful", saying: " Taylor Swift is an unprecedentedly powerful 21st Century voice for women and young people. "Under the microscope of social media since the earliest days of MySpace and Tumblr, she came of age during a new feminist wave. "With her fame came controversy, which she so skilfully wrestled to the floor. We're excited to tell her story." Meanwhile, Shaminder Nahal, Head of Specialist Factual at Channel 4 and Commissioning Editor said: "We're thrilled that Sandpaper and director Guy King will be bringing their calibre of storytelling to chart the impact of Taylor Swift on today's culture. "Her journey has been nothing short of epic, and we're keen for this series to reflect all the joy and artistry, the heartbreaks and high stakes, of her stunning career, while also showing viewers sides of Taylor Swift that they might not know or expect.' Taylor, 35, was at her father's side last month after Scott Swift underwent major heart surgery after going to the doctor for a check-up. Scott, 73, who played a significant role in his daughter's music career, had quintuple bypass surgery last month after his GP "saw something" in worrying news for the family. Thankfully, Scott, is now said to be "doing great" after the operation, according to TMZ, after being supported by Taylor 's mum and Scott's wife, Mrs Swift, who has been married to Scott for 37 years, and the singer's brother, Austin, throughout the surgery and during the recovery process. Taylor's rep also told the outlet that the procedure was not the result of a heart attack, but because Scott's doctor "saw something" while confirming that the dad-of-two is now "feeling just great". The singer's spokesperson told the outlet: "Scott Swift had quintuple bypass surgery over a month ago and his wife, Andrea, and their kids, Taylor and Austin, were with him through the entire surgery and recovery process."

Scooter Braun not 'affected' by Taylor Swift row
Scooter Braun has insisted his public falling out with Taylor Swift didn't "affect" him. In 2019, the 44-year-old music manager bought the Bad Blood singer's former record label Big Machine Records and her master recordings, which he then sold on to Shamrock Capital in 2020, much to the fury of Taylor - who reacquired ownership of the recordings earlier this year - because she wasn't offered the chance to buy them herself. And despite the backlash to his business decision, Scooter insisted the public outcry didn't have any impact on him, unlike the 2021 breakdown of his marriage to Yael Cohen, the mother of his three children. Scooter - whose real first name is Scott - told Danielle Robay on her Question Everything podcast: "No one in my family had ever been divorced. "And at that time, I had built up this foundation of Scooter because I didn't think Scott was strong enough. I didn't know that yet. "So having the perfect career, the perfect wife, the perfect life, the kids, the success, I thought that made me worthy of love. And it wasn't until our marriage came apart and I couldn't fix it. I felt like a failure because I didn't have a foundation. "But it was the greatest thing that ever happened to me because the ups and downs of artist life, the Taylor stuff, none of that actually affected me. Losing my marriage affected me." Scooter also dismissed speculation that Taylor's 2022 track Vigilante S*** was about his divorce. He said: "No, because I talk to Yael every day. "My ex-wife is one of my best friends, so me and my ex-wife laugh about that stuff. We don't even call each other ex. That's like my partner, that's the mother of my children. "I have a tattoo on my finger that says 'same team' after my divorce because she and I are on the same team for life. That's what we say to each other. "So no, I never thought that was about us. She never thought it was about us and everyone else kind of feeding into the fire. "Great strategy move, but nah." On Vigilante S***, Taylor sings about befriending an ex-wife. The lyrics include: "She needed cold hard proof so I gave her some, she had the envelope, where you think she got it from? Now she gets the house, gets the kids, gets the pride. Picture me thick as thieves with your ex-wife. And she looks so pretty, driving in your Benz, lately she's been dressing for revenge."

Taylor Swift's dad, 73, undergoes major heart surgery with devoted daughter at his side
Taylor Swift's dad, Scott, has had quintuple bypass surgery, which treats blockages in the major arteries that feed the heart - after going to the doctor for a check-up Taylor Swift's dad has undergone major heart surgery after going to the doctor for a check-up. Scott Swift, 73, who played a significant role in his daughter's music career, had quintuple bypass surgery last month after his GP "saw something" in worrying news for the family. Quintuple bypass surgery is a complex procedure done to treat people with five severely blocked major arteries that feed the heart. Blood vessels are removed from another part of the body and transplanted onto each affected heart vessel to reroute blood flow around the blockages. The surgery improves blood supply to the heart, reducing pain, shortness of breath, and possibly the risk of cardiac-related death. Thankfully, Scott, is said to be "doing great" after the operation, according to TMZ, after being supported by Taylor, her mum, Andrea, and brother, Austin, throughout the surgery and during the recovery process. Taylor's rep also told the outlet that the procedure was not the result of a heart attack, but because Scott's doctor "saw something" while confirming that the dad-of-two is now "feeling just great". Scott played a significant role in Taylor's early life, raising her and her brother, Austin, on a Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania, US, before moving to Nashville to support the singer's music career. Long before she was a Grammy-winning superstar and billionaire, the Bad Blood star's parents said they were listening to her sing karaoke and driving her to local gigs near her hometown. "She was always singing music when she was 3, 5, 6, 7, years old," Scott told UDaily, adding: "It's Taylor doing what she likes to do." Meanwhile, mum, Andrea, said she always gave her daughter the option of Plan B, but conceded there was only ever path for Taylor. "There would always be an escape hatch into normal life if she decided this wasn't something she had to pursue," she told Entertainment Weekly in 2008. "And of course that's like saying to her, 'If you want to stop breathing, that's cool.' " Fast forward 17 years, and Taylor is officially one of the most successful singers on the planet. She is also bigger than the recent Oasis mania despite the Gallagher brothers selling out shows across the UK and the rest of the world for their current reunion tour. While excitement is still fever pitch for the band, after Oasis' gigs in Cardiff and Manchester, data has found that the American songstress still has the bigger pulling power. According to stats, Taylor's 2024 Eras Tour proved to be more popular than the upcoming Oasis gigs. Fans' total searches for Taylor Swift were one and a half times the number of views compared to Oasis. The findings were compiled by comparing ticket sales from the week of each respective act's general on-sale date. And according to viagogo, they found that the Shake It Off songstress could have filled Wembley Stadium nine times more than Oasis based on global page views alone.
