TAYLOR SWIFT The Tortured Poets Department

[deschanelswifts]

The professor said to write what you know, looking backwards might be the only way to move forwards. Then the actors were hitting their marks, and the slow dance was a light within the sparks. And the tears fell in synchronicity with the score, and at least she knew what the agony had been for. THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT

this is about being so brutally honest. pulling no punches. from anyone including herself. the people who were saying the album is so much about matty failed to understand that she was dragging herself by putting those on the album. she was facing the feelings she felt even though it was probably agony to realize what she was actually going through. this is catharsis.

It’s a 2am surprise: The Tortured Poets Department is a secret DOUBLE album. ✌️ I’d written so much tortured poetry in the past 2 years and wanted to share it all with you, so here’s the second installment of TTPD: The Anthology. 15 extra songs. And now the story isn’t mine anymore… it’s all yours. 🤍 https://taylor.lnk.to/ttpd-theanthology

I feel like the first half of TTPD is about the rage and the grief and the mania and the lust and all of the huge emotions that swirled through her in the immediate moments of the last 2 years. The second half is about all the little feelings and realizations and things she sat with afterwards and in-between the huge bombs going off in her life. The first half is just all the mess, laid out on the table. The second half is where she gets out a map and shows us how the paths connect to each other.

the manuscript is so genius especially as the closer — a nod to the song that is widely considered her magnum opus, written about her first major heartbreak and the first time she was promised the world and had it ripped out from under her, how she periodically “returns to the manuscript” to look back and reflect, and then referencing the experience of directing actors to tell the story in the short film, and concluding that the story isn’t hers anymore — just like she says in the prologue that the events that are written about in TTPD are no longer her reality, just a snapshot of a moment in time, her “tears made sacred” by processing them through her art.

i know this album has so much self-hatred and self-loathing and blood but my god the self-respect

You know when you talk to older couples who, you know, have been in love for 30 or 40 or 50 years, alright, it’s always the guy who says “I knew.”                                                                   I knew. Right from the beginning.
