Taylor Swift intends to maintain composure after being criticised by Denise Welch, mother of her ex-boyfriend Matt Healy. The 35-year-old singer and the 36-year-old frontman of The 1975 briefly dated following Taylor’s split from actor Joe Alwyn in April 2023. She later referenced their relationship on her album The Tortured Poets Department.

During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Denise Welch expressed frustration that Matt was unable to discuss the relationship publicly. She remarked that while she has no personal issue with Taylor, it was difficult for her as a former potential mother-in-law to remain silent, especially as Taylor wrote an entire album about their romance.
Despite Denise’s comments, Taylor, who is currently dating NFL star Travis Kelce, plans to rise above the situation. A source told Daily Mail: “Taylor finds Denise’s remarks a bit obnoxious but is determined to take the high road. If Taylor were to respond in a future song, it would be in a composed way, but for now, she’s choosing to let it go.”

The source added that Taylor respects Denise and expects the issue to fade quickly. However, should Denise persist with her criticisms, Taylor would consider responding. “The ball remains in Denise’s court to decide if she wants to continue this narrative,” the source concluded.
