Taylor Swift’s TTPD Leaked, Swifties Slam Matty Healy, Charlie Puth-Inspired Lyrics

Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department appears to have leaked online early, sending Swifties into a frenzy on social media. The day before her 11th studio album was set to drop, fans were able to find a Google Drive link containing the entirety of the 17-song album.

As we previously reported, Swift made the announcement of The Tortured Poets Department during February's Grammy Awards. This is her first new album since 2022's Midnights.

The consensus online seems to be the same: all who listened to the leaked tracks absolutely hate it. On X (formerly Twitter), Swift's summer fling, 1975 frontman Matty Healy, and her close friend, Charlie Puth, are trending Thursday (April 18).

Surprisingly, many fans came to the defense of Matty Healy, though they bashed him when the two were an item. One fan wrote: "Me getting ready to defend matty Healy when ttpd drops." Another fan pointed out of the Swifties' notoriously brutal defense towards her exes: "Swifties u can hate matty healy without bringing his addiction up btw." Wrote another angry fan, "She has no right to mention his addiction let alone put it in an ALBUM after seeing what all her fans said about him and his addiction.. just encouraging it more Rly disappointed Rly peed off."

Another came for Taylor for even writing a song about Matty: "I honestly thought ttpd was going be in the lines of folklore or evermore storytelling songs just for it to be about that nasty disgusting a--hole Matty Healy like seriously Taylor." Chimed in another, "taylor swift got cyberbullied out of f---ing matty healy and made her own 1975 album about it." Back-to-back with the brutal slams, one person said, "Pushing 40 writing about Matty Healy like it’s a forbidden love à la Romeo and Juliet. Girl he is just a nazi."

Apparently, Charlie Puth is mentioned in the same track: "You smoked then ate seven bars of chocolate we declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist." One fan commented on the line, "imagining Taylor swift and Matty healy being like 'Charlie Puth is so cool' is so funny." Quoting a Real Housewives episode, "It's wack-a-doodle time," added one fan. Hilariously one fan suggested, "Thinking how the amount of gaggage it would’ve been if she said Carly Rae instead of charlie puth."

Then, when it came to Swift's longtime boyfriend Joe Alwyn, many people came to the actor's defense. "I feel a bit sick that she didn't even try to stop this harassment about Joe, when 80% of the album isn't even about him," one fan wrote. "She acknowledges that he struggled mentally yet let psycho Swifties threaten him every single day." Another person said, "if the people who listened to the leaks are right & it turns out Joe Alwyn really didnt do s--- aside from being too depressed to marry her, so many of you owe him an apology. solely for the amount of times hes been harassed by fans for the past year over rumors and speculations."

Apparently, the globe in Taylor Swift's library has a pin for Orlando, Florida where Joe Alwyn allegedly cheated on her. One fan bluntly stated, "this is so juvenile... girl, maybe YOU are the problem."

Fans far and wide weren't just disappointed by the subject matter with Healy and Puth. For the album as a whole, many had a lot to criticize of Swift's artistry -- or lack thereof. One person wrote: "flat vocals, uninspired productions and way too many words for absolutely no reason at all. feels more like a 65-minute podcast than an album, tbh." Another stated: "Same sound from the past 3 years, no artistic growth or clear vision just the same vauge lyrical shlop Amanda from Huchinson Kansas thinks she can relate to. The Mcdonalds of pop music."

Another said: "She’s really competing against Nicki for worst album of all time……….." Finding no evolution, one fan commented, "I wonder how long she can keep making the same synth pop album over and over before the public starts turning on her cuz this is getting crazy." One sad Swiftie lamented, "Not a single serve i’m sorry [crying emoji]." Another quoted Lana Del Rey lyrics from her 2019 song "Norman f---ing Rockwell" to slam Taylor's album using her friend: "your poetry’s bad and you blame the news." Brutally, another fan said, "just skipped through TTPD and it sounds the same as midnights with lyrics you'd expect from a 14 year old girl not a grown a-- woman."

One person blamed being tricked about Swift, writing: "we’re all being gaslit into believing shes one of the best songwriters of our generation." Blaming Swift's wealth and notoriety, one person stated: "She’s not hungry anymore. Pre folklore her hair was frieddd and she was 1 flop away from a katy perry vegas residency. so she went to a cabin and started singing. now she has a billion dollars, a qanon fanbase, and nothing to prove." A dedicated fan took their time to gather their thoughts before sharing: "So I slept on it for a night, relistened and I have 3 main thoughts: 1. The abuse Joe Alwyn got when his worst crime was being depressed is disgusting and she let it happen
2. She’s too old to write about bad boys
3. It’s not what I expected and I mean that in a bad way."

Fans came for Swift's frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff, too. "jack antonoff and taylor two dumb bitches telling each other 'exaaaactlyyy' in the studio, that's the problem," wrote another fan. Adding to Swift needing a change in team, one person wrote: "I think she needs to work with different producers and team…like she’s stuck in this sound bcz of wanting to keep her friends employed…"

Coachella 2024's first weekend came and went with a bang. The famous California Music & Arts Festival had us in shock and awe with amazing special guests throughout the weekend.

During weekend one, big names like Bebe Rexha, Tems, Victoria Monet, Renee Rapp, Tyler, the Creator, Lana Del Rey, Ice Spice, Sublime, Vampire Weekend, Doja Cat, J Balvin, Jhene Aiko, No Doubt, Coi Leray, Grimes, 21 Savage, Lauryn Hill, Taking Back Sunday, Lil Yachty, and many more.

As always, famous faces were in attendance, watching their friends perform and letting loose with the rest of the crowd. Notably, Justin Bieber showed up without his wife, Hailey Bieber, adding to the rumors that their marriage isn't doing well. Meanwhile, love birds Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce hit up multiple stages, watching from the pit and getting super affectionate.

While folks were expecting perfect shows and wild special guests brought on stage during performances, there were some artists who dropped the ball during their set. Grimes kept fumbling with her mixes during her set. She told the crowd that there has never been a show of hers without a "technical difficulty," and as she tried to explain to the Coachella crowd, she said, "Don't blame me because it's not my fault! Well, it's partially my fault, but it's not entirely my fault." In the "classic Grimes fashion," the musician added that her songs had been set to a double tempo and had to do "a lot of internal math" to try to get it sorted to play for the patiently waiting crowd.

On social media, however, fans were making fun of her meltdown at the technical difficulties, with users pointing out that this isn't the first time Grimes has done this at her concerts. Meanwhile, one fan said, "This could be the worst performance in the history of Coachella." She took to X (formerly Twitter) to issue a formal apology to fans. Adding that she "admittedly am not in the best mood atm," Grimes said her set next week "will be flawless."

Besides the mishaps, there were plenty of awe-inspiring, wild moments from Coachella's first weekend.

The lovebirds hit up Coachella attached at the hip. Swelce watched Ice Spice perform from the crowd, who gave Taylor a shoutout during her set. Then, the pair was spotted making out and dancing adorably together by fans who posted videos to social media. The couple even made it to DJ Dom Dolla's set, showing Kelce lift Swift up several times during the set, garnering fans online to wonder what she was desperately trying to see. Another fan showed how cute it was witnessing Taylor introduce Travis to everyone.

Lana bringing Billie on stage was definitely a surprise. The two sang Billie's "Ocean Eyes," and though the rendition was beautiful, it was Billie singing Lana's song, "Video Games," that had fans going absolutely bonkers. Billie's voice melds so well with Lana's, but her version of singing the song adds more layers to the 2012 track. One fan hilariously said that the two of them "mended the generational gap between millennials and Gen Z."

With all the rap beef going on currently between Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross, and J. Cole, these two rappers performing together while having a blast was not what anyone expected. Tyler admitted during his set how much he used to "hate" Childish Gambino for years, until his 2013 song, "Urn," came out. He told the crowd: “You know what’s sick? I used to hate that n----. Seriously, I don’t know why, I gotta go to therapy to figure it out." He added that Gambino's song was so "undeniable," he was at conflict with himself. Now that the tables have turned, he jokes how Gambino barely returns his calls. He gave the artist props at the end, saying "Thank you for putting out s--- that exceeds expectations or the perception that n----s like us should make. I love you, thank you for existing, and thank you for coming out." The two performed Tyler's "Running Out of Time."

The Saltburn star has been following Carpenter for some of her Eras Tour dates, and now he was in the front row for her Coachella debut. Keoghan earned a peace sign and a flirty little wave from the "Nonsense" singer, who was taking a breather on the stage. As the camera panned to him, wearing a Burberry scarf to cover his mouth, he nervously paces in the crowd. Fans swooned over the couple, as they met up with Swelce to watch Ice Spice perform, holding hands walking around the festival grounds, and showing how big of a fan he is to watch his girlfriend perform, taking videos of her performance.

During Rapp's set, Kesha came out to perform "Tik Tok" together. While allegations against Diddy's [inlink id="creepy-diddy-with-justin-bieber" text="sexual assault and grooming stories"] have been surfacing, Kesha changed the original "Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy" lyrics. As soon as Kesha was introduced and began singing the song's intro, she walked up to the edge of the stage and belted: "Wake up in the morning, like f--- P. Diddy!" Renee joined her on the lyric change and fans went wild on calling out the rapper and producer.

No Doubt reuniting for the first time in over ten years was already iconic. Gwen posed with her ex, bandmate Tony Kanal while at Coachella, having fans be super nostalgic, plugging in lines from their song "Cool" and "Don't Speak." Just like Lana and Billie, No Doubt brought out a Gen Z-er to bridge the gap with their fans, bringing in new ones during their Coachella set. Olivia Rodrigo appeared at the band's soundcheck prior to their performance, later appearing for a performance of No Doubt's 2000 track, "Bathwater."
