He and the singer were briefly involved after Swift and Joe Alwyn's six-year relationship ended last year.
On the new album's title track, she appears to reference Matty's friend Lucy Dacus from the band boygenius and her friend and collaborator Jack Antonoff.
“Sometimes I wonder if you'll ruin this for me/ But you told Lucy you'd kill yourself if I left you/ And I'd said that to Jack about you, so I felt seen/ Everyone we know understands why it's meant to be ”, says the track.
Taylor talks about how she was “drowning in the blue river Nile” in 'Guilty as Sin', a reference to Matty's “favorite band of all time”, The Blue Nile, and even mentions another artist he admires, The Starting Line, in two other tracks.
