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.
- Swift's stretch of productivity and commercial success was also emotionally tumultuous, as revealed in her album 'The Tortured Poets Department.'
- 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.
