Charlie Puth responds to Taylor Swift’s name-dropping of him in her song The Tortured Poets Department by going shirtless for a jog in Santa Barbara.

Charlie Puth worked up a sweat while jogging in his Santa Barbara neighborhood on Wednesday.

The 32-year-old pop musician, who also has houses in Beverly Hills and Studio City, took off his white shirt and slipped it into grey shorts over white bicycle shorts.

Charlie, who has 41.7 million monthly Spotify listeners, rounded off his sporty outfit with Nike sneakers.

Last month, Charlie Puth responded to Taylor Swift’s mention of him in her song The Tortured Poets Department, saying, “You smoked then ate seven bars of chocolate/ We declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist/ I scratch your head, you fall asleep.”

The four-time Grammy nominee commended the 34-year-old pop artist for letting him know that she couldn’t keep her new song Hero on her hard drive any longer.

‘My new song Hero is about when you see someone you love hurting themselves, ruining the things in their life that are good, but you just can’t save them,’ Charlie – who boasts 75.2M social media followers – explained on May 21.

‘It’s one of the hardest songs I’ve ever had to write, but I wrote it in hopes that you’ve gone through something similar in your life, and that it can fill in the BLANK for you like it did for me. I’m very excited to share my next album with you, especially this song because it’s a great representation of what’s to come. I’ve never put out a song like this before – it’s very different for me.’

Hero, which dropped May 25, is the lead single off Puth’s upcoming fourth studio album.

The Lose My Breath singer hasn’t performed since he covered Elton John and Bernie Taupin’s 1974 hit Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me in honor of their Library of Congress Gershwin Prize ceremony in Washington, DC on March 20 – which later aired April 8 on PBS.

Charlie honored the two people that inspired him to compose music, and Elton John expressed gratitude on Instagram. You sung beautifully!

On September 7th, Puth announced his engagement to Brooke Sansone, co-founder of Thee Closet Next Door, whom he met as a child in Rumson, New Jersey.

The Berklee College of Music graduate has previously dated singer Charlotte Lawrence, Grammy nominee Selena Gomez, Bella Thorne, Halston Sage, Pritika Swarup, and Madison Reed.

Charlie first rose to prominence as a popular YouTube performer at the age of 17 in 2009, before receiving a significant boost from Ellen DeGeneres, who signed him to her eleveneleven record label in 2011.
