Taylor Swift made ‘horrible' claims after breaking Matty Healy's heart: ‘You can't even defend yourself,' insider dishes on mother-in-law drama
After Matty Healy's mother, Denise Welch's, appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, an insider has revealed how things really panned out between Taylor Swift and her short-lived romance with Healy. Earlier, Denise shared her take on the Cruel Summer singer's habit of writing songs about her exes, saying, 'Not being her mother-in-law is a role that I am glad that I lost.' The statement alone sparked backlash online, with the singer's massive fandom rushing to defend her and claiming they felt attacked. However, while speaking to US Weekly, an insider close to the situation said, 'She's still a mum at the end of the day. Any mother would feel the same. Multiply that by a million because of how famous Taylor is.' Also read: Taylor Swift's ex Matty Healy calls himself 'the best poet'; seemingly mocks the singer onstage Last year, Swift released her The Tortured Poets Department, which many believe has several songs about Matty. Given the singer's reputation of writing about her past relationships, many had come to think that Healy broke her heart. Later, in a report by Us Weekly, a source close to the family said Denise was deeply hurt by the situation and felt it was unfair. 'It's a horrible thing to have the most famous person in the world say your son broke her heart when it was actually the other way around — and then you can't even defend yourself,' the source said. The insider explained that the family genuinely believed things with Taylor were heading somewhere serious, and said that Denise's statement wasn't something random, as Healy himself thought it might get to that point. 'You can't blame a mum for standing up for her child,' they said, and called their split 'terrible' for Healy. They added, '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.' They continued, 'Now that time has gone by, she's saying what she can because she knows that her son got hurt.' Also read: Taylor Swift's ex Matty Healy breaks silence over diss songs in The Tortured Poets Department: 'I'm sure it's good' Matty and Taylor were spotted out multiple times in 2023, right after her breakup with long-rumoured romance Joe Alwyn. The 1975 frontman was seen circling her Eras Tour more than once, while the duo were spotted on multiple dinner dates, walking out of her NYC place, and even backstage at her shows. He was even filmed mouthing 'This one's about you' during a performance. Fans were watching every move. But the romance was short-lived, and soon after, Swift's relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce blew up. Later, following her 14th Grammy win, the singer dropped TTPD, and fans quickly pointed to songs like Guilty as Sin?, The Black Dog, and But Daddy I Love Him is about Matty. The singer, for his part, never said anything about Swift. In a podcast interview, he said he'd be lying if he wrote songs about 'casual' romances just because he was famous. He is now engaged to model and actress Gabbriette Bechtel.

Travis Kelce Just Made The Most Adorable Confession Of Love To Taylor Swift
Last Updated: A photo in the carousel featured their phones on the table, and one of them had a lockscreen wallpaper of a never-before-seen picture of the couple. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are now Insta-official! After nearly two years of keeping it under wraps, the two launched their romance in the best way possible, and fans have been loving it. On Friday, July 25, the NFL star sent everyone into a frenzy by sharing some 'off-season" memories on his Instagram, obviously featuring his pop star girlfriend. The carousel features pictures of Travis with his family and friends, but the Internet's eyes stuck to just one person: Taylor and her cosy moments with her boyfriend. His post opened with a candid picture of the couple, twinning in casual white outfits with caps. With the Cruel Summer crooner posing as if she were saluting, her boyfriend could be seen with the brightest smile on his face. In another picture, they once again wore the same-coloured clothes while relishing a dinner together at a restaurant. It also featured their phones on the table, and one of them had a lockscreen wallpaper of a never-before-seen picture of the couple, where Taylor was seemingly flaunting her left hand. A few other snaps showed the couple with their friends, enjoying the snow and having a blast at a party. The rest of the slides of the carousel featured some fun memories of the Kansas City Chiefs' tight end with his family. In the caption, Travis wrote, 'Had some adventures this offseason, kept it." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Travis Kelce (@killatrav) Fans' Reaction To Travis Kelce Making His Relationship With Taylor Swift Official Swifties, upon seeing the pictures, naturally lost it. The post has been liked over 3.2 million times, and thousands of fans commented on it, with one saying, 'The best hard launch Instagram has ever seen." 'That's our Tayvis, they're iconic," added another. A different fan hilariously pointed out, 'can't believe we got a hard launch before he even followed her." 'The best example of 'If he wanted to, he would!' Tay looks so happy & she deserves this kinda love so much," wrote someone else. Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce's Relationship Timeline It all began when Travis attended one of Taylor's Eras Tour concerts in Kansas City. The NFL star had tried to give her a friendship bracelet, which he confessed to in an episode of his New Heights podcast. In September 2023, the footballer revealed that he 'threw the ball in [Swift's] court" by inviting her to watch his game at the Arrowhead Stadium, and she surely did. In October that year, they subtly confirmed that they were dating by appearing hand-in-hand at the SNL afterparty at Catch Steak. After a picture of Taylor kissing Travis went viral, fans were convinced that they were indeed dating. Since then, Taylor attended several games with her boyfriend, whereas the latter left no chance to praise the pop star. In June this year, they even made their first red-carpet appearance as a couple at the NFL players' Tight End University. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

If You Have to Watch 1 Netflix Show in July 2025, Stream This 1 Right Now
Here at Watch With Us, we love true crime as much as the next person — but sometimes it can be hard to watch. If you're feeling a little weighed down by the darkness of the true crime world, we have a Netflix recommendation for you. American Vandal, a 2017 series that parodies true crime docs, is hilarious, but it still creates an engrossing mystery that will leave you dying to watch the next episode. And luckily, you can. There are two excellent seasons of American Vandal on Netflix — here's why you should watch them in July 2025. 'American Vandal' Season 1 Is Iconic In American Vandal, the crime at the center of season 1 is a graffiti incident of epic proportions — someone vandalized 30 faculty cars with crude drawings. A student, Dylan Maxwell (Jimmy Tatro), was blamed, but amateur documentarians Peter Maldonado (Tyler Alvarez) and Sam Ecklund (Cruel Summer's Griffin Gluck) suspect there may be more to the story. Thus, the guiding question of the season becomes a constant refrain: 'Who drew the d***s?' 9 Great Netflix True Crime Drama Shows to Watch Right Now (July 2025) It sounds crass (and it is), but as Peter and Sam attempt to uncover the truth, deeper problems within the hierarchy of Hanover High are revealed. The second season of American Vandal covers a new mystery about 'The Turd Burglar,' and it's a solid outing, but season 1's mystery is particularly thrilling. The Netflix Show Features a Who's Who of Future Stars The young cast of American Vandal features some stellar actors who are quickly rising through the ranks of Hollywood. Tatro, who was already a YouTube celebrity before being cast in the show, has gone on to star in the sitcom Home Economics and the hilarious indie film Theatre Camp, while Gluck was a main cast member in Freeform's Cruel Summer. Alvarez, too, has worked steadily since Vandal, appearing in shows like Ghosts and What We Do in the Shadows. Many of the supporting cast members have also gone on to success. Eduardo Franco, who plays Dylan's friend Spencer Diaz, has appeared in hits like Stranger Things and Booksmart, while Lukas Gage has appeared in You and Companion. We recommend keeping an eye on the cast of American Vandal — there's clearly a lot of star power among these young performers, many of whom are now in their 20s or 30s and gaining mainstream success. 'American Vandal' Critiques High School Social Structures While American Vandal is unquestionably funny and even silly, it's not afraid to take itself seriously in the way it approaches its subject matter. As Peter and Sam investigate the smear campaign against Dylan Maxwell, who one student calls 'a known d*** draw-er,' it becomes obvious how predisposed the school community was to believe the worst of a kid who has a reputation as a troublemaker, even when the evidence wasn't all there. 14 Must-See Comedy Shows to Stream Right Now (May 2025) The storytelling goes even further with this theme, meditating on how our reputations can trap us — sometimes causing people to fulfill others' low expectations. You'll recognize a lot of high school archetypes in American Vandal, but the series does an excellent job deconstructing them, reminding us all to take a second look at our first impressions. American Vandal combines hilarious deadpan performances with a genuine mystery and a poignant message to form one of Netflix's all-time best series. Watch American Vandal on Netflix now.
