The Tortured Poets Department

by Taylor Swift

Overview

On her 11th studio album The Tortured Poets Department, global pop superstar Taylor Swift draws from multiple phases in her discography while processing a bitter, messy breakup. Joined once more by long-time collaborators and producers Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner (of the National), Swift gets into moments of throwback synth pop like those she explored on 2022's Midnights, as well as the kind of aching, insular balladry that sometimes surfaced on her 2020 indie-folk albums Evermore and Folklore. Post Malone guests on the opening track "Fortnight" and Florence + the Machine duets with Swift on "Florida!!!" ~ TiVo Staff
