Review

Taylor Swift’s repertoire is rich with songs that delve into the aftermath of breakups, yet THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT stands out as a more mature exploration. It delves into the complexities of adult relationships and emotional turmoil, often with raw intensity and unchecked drama taking the spotlight. With Swift at the helm, there’s an unmistakable sense of fury and vulnerability throughout the album. Definitely a memorable addition to her discography.
