After being mentioned in one of Taylor Swift's new songs from her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, Charlie Puth finally reacted on social media.

On track No. 2, "The Tortured Poets Department," the pop star, 34, name-checked the musician in a conversation she seemingly had with her ex Matty Healy.

She sings: “You smoked then ate seven bars of chocolate / We declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist."

On Sunday, April 28, the 32-year-old artist reposted the singer's post about her "overwhelmed" reaction to the success of her latest album. Puth uploaded one of Swift's behind-the-scenes photos she shared of her making the album. In the photo, the blonde beauty is sitting in a recording booth with headphones over her head. "The Tortured Poets Department" — the track he was featured on — was written in black marker over the snapshot.

As OK! previously reported, fans were shocked when the album seemingly mentioned Healy more than Joe Alwyn, whom she dated for six years. After the album dropped, people speculated the title song was about The 1975 rocker, as he briefly was linked to Swift in 2023.

Healy, 35, previously gave a shout-out to Puth in 2018, writing, “That Charlie Puth and Boyz II Men track is harrrrrd," to which he replied, "Thank u matty!"
