“But not being her mother-in-law is a role that I am glad that I lost,” she added.
Denise backpedaled a bit by explaining that she has nothing towards Taylor as an individual:
“Not that I have anything against her at all. It was just — it was tricky,” she clarified.
“She — listen, you’re not allowed to say anything. And then she writes a whole album about it,” Welch added, referring to Swift’s Tortured Poets Division, which referenced her fling with Healy.

As you’re most likely conscious, Swifties are typically a bit defensive in the case of their queen.
So Denise handled harsh and swift (no pun meant) criticism from all corners of the web following her off-hand comment.
And if the most recent sighting of Ms. Welch is any indication, then all that backlash may need taken a robust toll.

Onlookers mentioned the dialog rapidly took a flip for the dramatic, and Matty appeared “animated” as Denise broke down in tears.
Clearly, we don’t know for sure if the dialog had something to do with Taylor.
Swift has been utilizing her music to throw shade at her exes because the early days of her profession, however as TMZ factors out, this example is likely to be unprecedented, as “a parent getting involved is a first.”
Today, Matty is engaged to mannequin Gabbriette Bechtel. And he’s indicated that he has no intention of dissing Taylor in his personal music.
Taylor, after all, is in a critical relationship with Travis Kelce, who reported to Kansas Metropolis Chiefs coaching camp (probably for the final time) simply final week.
At this level, Matty and Taylor have been damaged up for much longer than they have been collectively.
But when the occasions of the previous two weeks are any indication, these two should still have some unfinished enterprise between them.
