TTPD is Christy and Rachel’s GOAT albums of TS, and we’re so excited to explain the lore in an incredibly in-depth, nearly two hour episode! Taylor Swift and Matty Healy were publicly together for only a few weeks in 2023—but their story was nearly a decade in the making (real Swiftiesk now). We trace their history from a backstage meeting in 2014 to their whirlwind reunion, then revisit Midnights and The Tortured Poets Department for clues about Joe Alwyn, Matty Healy and her long-awaited, anticipated romance, the backlash, and its implosion.
