From the title to the promotional information, The Tortured Poets Department is exactly the album that “exposes” Taylor Swift’s 6-year love affair with “British poet” Joe Alwyn.

The album has a total of 16 tracks, starting with the song Fortnight in harmony with Post Malone. This is also the lead single whose MV was released by Taylor Swift at 7:00 a.m. April 20 (Vietnam time). Throughout The Tortured Poets Department, one can see the connection between the intimate material that appeared in Evermore, folklore, and the synth-pop melodies of Midnights.

Rolling Stone gave Taylor’s new album a perfect score – 100 points and labeled it an instant classic

Rolling Stone conducted a comprehensive review of the album, commenting favorably on Taylor’s storytelling ability. After 10 studio albums, composing has become an indispensable part of the “Snake Queen”‘s routine.

Taylor Swift’s realistic descriptions, names included in the album, and writing style containing many “easter eggs” have been raised to a new level.

“You can hear a lot of comments saying that this is an album made after the Eras Tour, an album bigger than Taylor could have dreamed… The Tortured Poets Department feels like Taylor Swift is writing Folk-more ballads but brings stadium power to the studio.

The Tortured Poets Department is reminiscent of reputation, and like reputation, it seems designed to keep many people trying to decipher it. In Summary Poem, Taylor calls it “a summary, a rewind of details/For the purpose of warning/For the purpose of reminder,” but everyone can hear it deeply in the music. In all of these songs, Taylor truly demonstrates her motto ‘all is fair in love and poetry’. But in the way shown through The Tortured Poets Department, both love and poetry become brutal,” Rolling Stone wrote.
