Denise Welch’s Shade: When Mom Knows Best and Throws Shade at Taylor Swift!

When Denise Welch, mother of Matty Healy from The 1975, sat down with Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live,” you knew we were in for some juicy details—especially when the topic of Taylor Swift came up. Welch didn’t hold back, sharing that she’s relieved to no longer be tied to Swift as a potential mother-in-law. Imagine the eye-roll-worthy family dinners! This comment sent shockwaves through social media, leaving Cohen looking like a deer caught in headlights.

But that’s not all—Welch also pointed out that unlike Swift, who poured her heart into a whole album about her brief romance with Matty, her son couldn’t speak on the relationship. It’s a classic case of double standards in the world of celebrity relationships. Welching on the truth? Sounds like a plot twist right out of a Taylor Swift ballad, don’t you think?

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any more dramatic, Denise assured viewers that Matty is thriving and engaged to model Gabbriette Bechtel. Meanwhile, Swift has also moved on to NFL star Travis Kelce. So really, who’s winning here? Thinking about it, this is all a reminder of how love can be just as complicated as the pop charts we know and love. What’s your take—can artists spill all about their romances, or should they hold back a bit?
