Taylor Swift’s recent engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce has delighted millions of fans worldwide, but a comment from Matty Healy’s fiancée Gabbriette Bechtel has caused tension among Swifties. .

The model appeared to respond to a now-deleted video mocking Swift’s upcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl, which featured a parody take on her unreleased tracks, including Eldest Daughter.

Replying to the clip, Gabbriette wrote: “Babe, please record Actually Romantic, please,” referencing another track title from the album.

Swift’s fans quickly reacted online, accusing Gabbriette of taking an unnecessary swipe at the singer. 

The comments have sparked debate given Gabbriette’s engagement to Matty Healy, who briefly dated Swift in 2023 following her break-up with actor Joe Alwyn.

Their short but intense relationship inspired several tracks on The Tortured Poets Department, with songs such as "Fresh Out the Slammer" and "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived" widely believed to reference Healy. Although Swift has never confirmed the speculation, fans continue to dissect the lyrics.

Matty Healy announced his engagement to Gabbriette in 2024, a year after the pair were first photographed together in New York.
