We hereby conduct this review of The Tortured Poets Department, an album that sees Taylor shedding her previous skins to reveal raw honesty with a theatrical narrative. Gone are the days of hiding behind fictional characters; Swift now bares her soul in such an extreme and candid manner that decoding each lyric becomes a journey in itself. Join us as we dissect the album's themes, from the intricacies of morality in art to the wild west of Taylor's fame. Join the Patreon for video episodes: https://www.patreon.com/FurtherExplanation
