Taylor Swift’s ‘Lucy’ Breaks Silence After Being Named in Song About Matty Healy
The ‘Lucy’ Taylor Swift name dropped in her latest album is no longer a mystery.
Lucy Dacus of the band boygenius confirmed to People that she is the ‘Lucy’ in Taylor’s 2024 song, The Tortured Poets Department.
The 29-year-old revealed Swift, 35, sought her ‘approval’ to include her name in the song via a text message.
The song is believed to allude to Swift’s ex Matty Healy, 35, who runs in the same circles as Lucy.
.
‘I think it’s fair game to say ‘yes,”‘ Lucy, who is friends with Healy, said. ‘She actually texted me and asked for my approval.’
The lyrics in which Lucy’s name appear read: ‘Sometimes, I wonder if you’re gonna screw this up with me/But you told Lucy you’d kill yourself if I ever leave/And I had said that to Jack about you, so I felt seen /Everyone we know understands why it’s meant to be / ‘Cause we’re crazy.’

Lucy called it an odd experience hearing the superstar say her name in the track.
This is the first Taylor record to come out since meeting her, and listening to a friend’s record feels so much different than a stranger’s record,’ she explained of listening to the song for the first time.
‘So I was like, “This is really weird. This voice that I’ve heard basically what feels like my whole waking life saying my name.”
Fans have already suspected Dacus was the sung-about ‘Lucy’.
Matty, who briefly dated Taylor following her split from Joe Alwyn, is known to move in the same circles as Lucy, as he’s friends with her boygenius bandmate Phoebe Bridgers.
While they reportedly had a good relationship in the past, Lucy now shares a distain for Matty after a heated Twitter spat in September 2023.
Referencing Lucy and Phoebe’s indie group, Matty posted: ‘I told Lucy Dacus that “Boygenius” had inspired me and George [Daniel] to start a new band called “Girlr*****”. I don’t really hear from her that often.’
Amid disgust online, Lucy responded bluntly: ‘You don’t hear from me at all.’
Matty went on to deactivate his account.
The 2024 song is from the album of the same name

Dacus is a singer-songwriter from Richmond, Virginia.
Aged just 17 she released her debut EP, Girls Girly Back Home, in 2012 but gained traction with her first full album four years later – No Burden.
In 2018, she released her acclaimed second album, Historian, and also formed boygenius with Bridgers and Julien Baker.
A self-titled EP was released by the group later that year before the members went back their separate ways to pursue solo projects.
In 2021, Dacus released Home Video, another acclaimed album and her first to hit the charts in both the UK and US.

Boygenius returned to huge critical success in 2023 with a debut LP, the record, winning three Grammys – Best Alternative Music Album, Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance.
The trio also won Best International Group at the 2024 BRIT Awards.
After the record’s release, Swift prescribed it to ‘make your life better’ and she joyously celebrated its Grammy success with the supergroup.
As of February 1, 2024, boygenius is back on a hiatus ‘for the foreseeable future’.

“SHUT UP!” MICHELLE OBAMA ERUPTS ON X, PUBLICLY ATTACKS FIRST LADY MELANIA TRUMP… BUT EVERYTHING TURNS DRAMATICALLY AROUND A post that seemed like a momentary emotional outburst quickly ignited a major wave of controversy between Michelle Obama and Melania Trump. On X, Michelle Obama was reported to have posted a harsh message, implying that Melania Trump should “keep quiet” and “withdraw completely from the public sphere.” The post spread at lightning speed, triggering a flood of divided reactions. But instead of responding on social media, Melania Trump chose a different path. She appeared calm on national television, in her role as First Lady. No arguments. No personal attacks. Melania opened the papers in front of her and spoke slowly: “I will not interpret. I will not add anything. I will only read verbatim what was written.” Each line from Michelle Obama’s post was read out clearly, coldly, without emotion. That very composure caused the studio to fall silent. Without a single counterattack, Melania allowed her opponent’s own words to speak for themselves. Soon after, social media swung sharply in the opposite direction. Many began asking: Who was the one who truly lost control? And who was the one who managed to hold their position? A post intended to apply pressure ultimately became the moment that allowed the sitting First Lady to demonstrate power through silence. The confrontation required no further words. Only composure… and the glare of television lights. Full story in the comments 👇

💥 “YOU CAN’T LITIGATE A LIE INTO TRUTH”: MELANIA TRUMP FIRES BACK AS MICHAEL WOLFF’S LAWSUIT HITS A WALL OF RECORDS Melania Trump didn’t evade Michael Wolff’s lawsuit. She confronted it — and dared it to stand up to evidence. Before a packed press room, cameras locked on her every move, Melania addressed Wolff’s central claim without hesitation. “Michael Wolff believes this case will expose what I knew about Donald Trump and our private decisions,” she said evenly. “But lawsuits don’t create facts. Depositions don’t invent truth. Documents do.” The air in the room tightened. She reminded reporters that Donald Trump has already endured relentless scrutiny. “My husband has been investigated, interrogated, and examined more than any modern president” Melania said. “If proof existed to support Wolff’s narrative, there would be no reliance on anonymous sources, recycled speculation, or theatrical legal pressure.” Her message sharpened. “This case survives on implication and repetition,” she warned. “But when timelines are aligned and sworn records are placed side by side, the narrative collapses.” Then came the line that reframed the entire lawsuit. “This action will not uncover hidden truths,” Melania said. “It will expose the danger of turning conjecture into litigation — and mistaking volume for evidence.” She stepped away without taking questions. No rebuttals followed. No clarifications offered. And as the room emptied, one thing was unmistakable: this wasn’t a defense — it was a challenge. Full story in the comments 👇
