Taylor Swift‘s 71-year-old father Shot does not interfere with his daughter’s new romance with the musician from 1975 Matt Heally but sources say he is deeply concerned, RadarOnline.com has learned.
According to sources, “Scott is wary of any man Taylor dates and wonders if Matty has an agenda or is using her for fame. He’s definitely keeping a close eye on Matty – mostly because of his wild past.
As we first reported, another insider claimed that Taylor believes Matty is “the one for her” and has no plans to end the romance despite backlash from her inner circles and fans.
Matty’s controversial past includes struggles with heroin and prescription drugs and misbehaving at concerts – including kissing fans and touching herself on stage.
Taylor insists Matty has changed. So while Scott isn’t his biggest fan, he’s giving Matty the benefit of the doubt,” the insider said.
“Matty has grown a lot and they seem to be a good match,” they added.
One of Matty’s previous scandals is mocking a rapper Ice herb on a podcast. The singer and the presenters made derogatory comments about the rapper. In addition, the trio mocked Chinese and Hawaiian accents.
Matty apologized for the comments and the episode was removed from streaming platforms.
The singer admitted that he can “go too far sometimes in front of too many people” and said, “I don’t want Ice Spice to think I’m a d—. I love you, Ice Spice. I’m sorry me very much.”
Earlier this week, Taylor announced that she will be releasing a remix featuring Ice Spice.
“So happy to say that ‘Karma’ featuring the incredible @icespicee_ is out TOMORROW night at MIDNIGHT ET as part of the new deluxe album Midnights (Til Dawn Edition) which you can pre-order now”… she wrote.
Ice herb responded, “dearest person ever thank you sm.” Taylor has been criticized online for working with Ice Spice but not speaking out about Matty’s comments.
“Taylor Swift not responding to Matt Healy’s racist remarks about Ice Spice and then finding a way to take advantage of her with a new collaboration is a textbook example of white female feminism. It is convenient, manipulative and continues to shield and protect white males,” said one Twitter user.
Another wondered, “Is this taylor doing damage control because Matt Heally is a pos?” Anyway, Ice Spice gets her purse.”
Taylor has yet to respond to the criticism of Matt.
