Our chairman (and Department music video director) just declassified the Fortnight Music Video (Behind the Scenes). 🎬🤍 Watch now to learn the secrets of THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT and how to look as deranged as Taylor and Post Malone. 🫣
The Tortured Poets Department is a great reminder that women don't owe the world pretty. Taylor Swift doesn't owe anyone an easily digestible pretty pop album wrapped in a bow with short songs you can make TikToks to. She's allowed to present something raw, uncomfortable, and vulnerable to the world.
Only when your girlish glow,
flickers just so,
do they let you know:
It's hell on earth to be heavenly.
Them's the breaks, they don't come gently.
