Recategorizing Taylor Swift's Discography & What The Tortured Poets Department Might Bring

from Swiftly Spoken · host Swiftly Spoken

A couple of years ago Taylor Swift decided to classify her music into three groups, depending on the type of symbolic pen she felt like they were written with. The fun-loving, care-free, bubbly glitter gel pen; the confessional, heart-wrenching fountain pen; and the old-timey, poetic quill. Over time she released three playlists which included many of her songs classified into these groups, however, we disagree with some of these picks (which were made to primarily help with streaming and did not include any music which had not been rerecorded at that point). So, we decided to rearrange these lists, in an attempt to make coherent choices which fit the descriptions of each pen as well as include music from her entire discography. With The Tortured Poets Department on the horizon we also take a guess at what type of music we might find on her 11th studio album!
