The Tortured Poets Department - Review

April 27, 2024 • Jessica Ann Catena

Taylor Swift released her 11th album on 4/19/24: The Tortured Poets Department, and an expanded double album 2 hours later: The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology! Even with 31 songs at our fingertips, reviews are mixed between Swifites and the media. This caused a 3rd Amazon Music version doing track by track commentary on the original. "Delicately" sharing my honest review, I recap Taylor's 2023 events, analyze this new album, and which songs I like from both versions.

Theme Song: "Dance Track", composed by Jessica Ann Catena
