'Underwhelming' Or 'A Triumph'? Critics Can't Seem To Agree On Taylor Swift's Tortured Poets Department
huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/critics-divided-taylor-swift-new-album-tortured-poets-department_uk_66221bfbe4b07db21fd705e2
Quick Glance: Taylor Swift's New Album 'The Tortured Poets Department' Needs an Editor: Review
- Taylor Swift's 11th studio album delves into her recent romances over 16 songs and a second LP, but the recurring themes yield diminishing returns.

- The album returns to autobiographical and sometimes spiteful tales of heartbreak, full of detailed, referential lyrics that Swift's fans will delight in decoding.
- The first two songs of the album serve as potent reminders of how viscerally Swift can summon the flushed delirium of a doomed romance, with the title track showcasing a humanizing touch.
