Looking back at Taylor's 2023, The Eras Tour is definitely a highlight in her career, but what about her more private emotions that are not easily perceived by the outside world? "The Tortured Poets Department", released in April this year, gave us the answer.
She did not make a big fuss about her last relationship, but showed us a collection of stream-of-consciousness poems that integrate multiple images. The torture in the album title is not entirely from the love history that some people talk about, or even if she uses her love experience as inspiration, it is understandable.
When the outside world and music critics are too harsh on her, fans even collectively anti-Taylor because of who she dates, and even as a superstar, she has to prove her innocence for public opinion...
Therefore, this is the source of torture.
In terms of album concept, on the one hand, we can see that TTPD has deepened the previous album Midnights. "So High School" writes about the sweetness of the passionate love period on the surface, but on the dark side, it still writes about the sleepless nights,recalling the youth that you have never held in your hands. "ThanK you aIMee" is more naked and honest, describing the hatred for the haters vividly; On the other hand, TTPD also has unique innovations, "But Daddy I Love Him" can be seen as describing a romantic love story similar to Romeo and Juliet who are not afraid of eyes, and can also be seen as a response to the public opinion about Taylor and the lead singer of the 1975 dating last year: ‘‘The spectators are high-sounding and seem to consider me, but that is just my choice, you can't interfere too much in my life"; in addition, whether it is the most catchy"I Can Do It With A Broken Heart" in the album or the closing song of the white version "Clara Bow", they are warning young women in the entertainment industry not to trust those who praise your beauty. You have to have your own style, and at the same time, you have to cultivate a strong heart.
As for the remaining songs, they represent the sense of confusion and fragmentation represented by the album's title song "Fortnight": Feeling "Down Bad", wanting to go to "Florida" and have fun, the short fourteen nights made me forget the pain temporarily, but this city makes me exhausted, "I Hate It Here"... In the end, everything turned into pieces of white paper, which were bound into a collection of poems and put into the archives of "The Tortured Poets Department", and these songs are The Manuscripts in the archives.
