'Glad' I'm not her mother-in-law

Denise Welch, Matty Healy’s mother, expressed her relief that she didn’t become Taylor Swift’s mother-in-law, as she took a jab at the pop star.

During an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live!” Thursday, Welch commented on her son’s brief relationship with Swift.

Welch, known for her roles in British soap operas and as a familiar face on daytime TV, didn’t hold back when host Andy Cohen asked for her thoughts on Swift’s upcoming 2024 album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” which is rumored to reference Healy.

“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.

Healy, 36, and Swift briefly dated from May to June 2023, following the latter’s split from British actor Joe Alwyn.

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.

When Swift released “TTPD” in April 2024, it was rumored that she wrote the album’s title track, “Guilty As Sin,” “Down Bad,” “Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus,” “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” and “I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)” about Healy.

Swift has since moved on with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce over the summer of 2024.

Healy, for his part, popped the all-important question to Bechtel in June 2024.
