The Tortured Poets Department Anniversary

What this episode covers

Almost one year ago Taylor Swift released The Tortured Poets Department, an incredibly stifling, chaotic and vulnerable album. It led to an entire new era, massive changes to the Eras Tour and a total of 31 amazing new songs that explored the intense scrutiny, anger, fear, anxiety and heartbreak Taylor had experienced. A year later we’re going to be revisiting Taylor’s 11th studio album and discussing how it has cemented its place in her discography.
