Does Taylor Swift's ‘But Daddy I Love Him’ Diss Matty Healy Fling Backlash?


Taylor Swift’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ features a song called ‘But Daddy I Love Him’ that seemingly responds to her fan criticism over her 2023 fling with Matty Healy

In January 2023, Healy mocked Swift’s friend Ice Spice ’s heritage and admitted to masturbating to images of brutalized women during a radio interview. “Nobody is sitting there at night slumped at their computer, and their boyfriend comes over and goes, ‘What’s wrong, darling?’ and they go, ‘It’s just this thing with Matty Healy.’ That doesn’t happen,” Healy told The New Yorker in May 2023. The song title has previously been presumed by fans to take inspiration from The Little Mermaid, using the line Ariel tells her father after he disapproves of her feelings for human Prince Eric.
