Charlie Puth finally acknowledged being name-dropped by Taylor Swift on 'The Tortured Poets Department' album
Charlie Puth subtly acknowledged Taylor Swift name-dropping him on The Tortured Poets Department album more than a week after the record was released.
Swift didn’t shy away from calling out her exes and enemies on The Tortured Poets Department, which dropped on April 19, but the pop star actually praised Puth in the title track. Fans immediately began speculating that the song was inspired by The 1975’s Matty Healy, who briefly dated Swift following her 2023 split from Joe Alwyn. Healy, 35, previously gave Puth a shout-out in a 2018 tweet, writing, “That Charlie Puth and Boyz II Men track is harrrrrd.” At the time, Puth responded via Twitter, writing, “Thank u matty!”
Swift also gives a shout-out to Stevie Nicks in “Clara Bow” — a song named after the early Hollywood actress — in addition to name-dropping herself. “You look like Taylor Swift in this light, we’re loving it,” she sings.
