In the aftermath of Taylor Swift's newest album, "The Tortured Poets Department," Swifties have noticed that most of the songs are attributed to her six-year relationship with her ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn.

However, it was also revealed that some of her tracks - particularly "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived," "But Daddy, I Love Him," "Fresh Out the Slammer," and "Fortnight," which featured Post Malone - were about her short-lived relationship with The 1975 vocalist Matty Healy.

In response, Healy's aunt, Debbie Dedes, told the Daily Mail that her nephew is now leaving behind his past relationship with the pop megastar.

"Nothing surprises him anymore," she told the British newspaper. "He will not be surprised by the song. Him and her know what went on."

Dedes also insisted that Healy is now "very happy in his new relationship," which she reckoned he would be focusing on.

Meanwhile, The Independent reported that American rockstar Jon Bon Jovi is "grateful to this day" that Swift encouraged William, Prince of Wales, to join him onstage to perform his 1986 hit 'Livin' on a Prayer.'

The performance happened at the Centrepoint Gala Dinner at Kensington Palace on November 26, 2013, when William was still the Duke of Cambridge.

In the aftermath of Swift's release of "Tortured Poets," Bon Jovi paid tribute to the pop star for bringing the three of them together.

"It was all her," he said. "She literally grabbed him by the arm and ran up on stage, and they both knew the words and sang along."

"I give her kudos and I'm grateful to this day because, you know, there's the future king of England with the biggest pop star in the world singing one of your songs. It's a great memory," he added.

In 2021, the Prince of Wales - whose wife Catherine is currently undergoing cancer treatment - recalled the moment in an episode of Apple Fitness +'s "Time to Walk" podcast.

"I'm sat next to Taylor Swift. She's on my left. And after Jon does his first song, there's a pause, and she turns to me," William said. "She puts her hand on my arm, looks me in the eye, and says, 'Come on, William. Let's go and sing.'"

The Independent will publish its full interview with Bon Jovi on Apr. 21.
