Taylor Swift was shaded by her ex-boyfriend Matty Healy’s mom, Denise Welch, who declared she was “glad” that she didn’t end up as the singer’s mother-in-law.
Welch targeted the 14-time Grammy winner when asked about the pop star’s short-lived romance with her son during an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live!” Thursday
Welch, a British soap actress and daytime TV fixture, didn’t hold back when host Andy Cohen asked for her reaction to Swift’s 2024 album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” which is believed to contain several nods to the rocker.
“Obviously, on pain of death can I talk about that episode, but not being her mother-in-law is a role that I am glad that I lost,” she said, prompting audible gasps from the audience.

“Not that I have anything against her at all,” she went on. “It was just — it was tricky.”
The “Celebrity Big Brother UK” star, 67, then briefly paused before elaborating on her initial answer.
“She — listen, you’re not allowed to say anything, and then she writes a whole album about it,” Welch said of the “Cruel Summer” hitmaker, 35.

But Welch insisted that Healy, who is the frontman for The 1975, took the aftermath of Swift’s eleventh studio album “all in good grace.”
“He is very happy with his amazing fiancée Gabriella, who is gorgeous,” she went on, referring to the model Gabbriette Bechtel, by her real name.
“So, we’ve moved on,” Welch added.

During their short-lived romance, the duo were inseparable, with the “Somebody Else” crooner attending several of her sold-out Eras Tour concerts.
They were also often spotted in New York City, including at the Electric Lady recording studio.
Following the pair’s split, an insider told “Entertainment Tonight” that they had parted ways due to incompatibility and scheduling issues.
