The American superstar was the topic of conversation when Denise Welch appeared on a US chat show on Thursday
TAYLOR Swift has been savagely mocked by her ex-boyfriend Matty Healy's mum Denise Welch.
Loose Women star Denise, 67, made her live TV debut in the United States on Thursday night.
Denise Welch spoke about her son's fling with American superstar Taylor Swift on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live
Andy quizzed Denise on the album released last year by Taylor Swift, thought to contain songs about Matty
Appearing on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live, Denise sounded a little cautious when host Andy quizzed her about Taylor's album The Tortured Poets Department.
The album was released last year after her romance with The 1975's frontman fizzled out and she moved on with Kansas City Chiefs hunk Travis Kelce.
It has been widely claimed that many of the songs on the body of work are about her fling with Matty, including The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived and Fortnight.
Andy told Denise her son is "the great Matty Healy" before asking: "On that topic, um, Miss Swift wrote a whole album about their relationship, Tortured Poets Department.
"What was your reaction to that album?"
She cautiously responded: "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."
As the audience reacted to her pointed remark, Denise quickly interjected.
She said: "Not that I have anything against her at all.
"It was just, you know, it was tricky.
"But um... Listen, you're not allowed to say anything. And then she writes a whole album, you know, about it.
"But Matty has taken it all in completely good grace.
"He's very happy with his amazing fiance Gabriella, Gabriette, who is gorgeous.
"So we've all moved on."
The interview left fans divided.
One commented: "Pretty crappy how men can’t say anything about Taylor but it’s OK for her to write whole songs about them."
But another person said: "Saying you’re grateful not to be someone’s mother-in-law is low.
"Taylor never said a single bad word. Why drag her when it’s all in the past?"
Another then defended Denise, writing: "She said nothing wrong" while a third penned: "There's barely two songs about Matty."
Taylor and Matty had a short-lived romance back in 2023 after Taylor's split from longtime beau Joe Alwyn.
They were first linked in early May and reportedly broke up in early June of that year.
