About
Just a place to break down my thoughts about The Tortured Poets Department because I think it's so incredibly layered and deserves a real deep dive into individual lyrics. Sometimes I might look at other albums or songs.
Things I will discuss: Individual lyrics and songs and their context within both their album and Taylor's broader work. Sometimes things from her music videos that have jumped out at me.
Things I will not discuss: Who specifically I think each song is about.
I get that this is more difficult sometimes than others, but I'll try to at the very least avoid using names. That said, a lot of Taylor's work is self-referential and being able to say "this song is about the same person as this song" adds a lot of clarity to her work. I think this is why a lot of people rely on guessing names and that's fine, but I just personally try to avoid it.
