As someone who has been a Swiftie for over a decade, my initial impression is that this album is one of her best lyrically, but production-wise it can get a bit repetitive by the end.
The Tortured Poets Department is a clear return to her old style of extremely personal, confessional songwriting, but still retaining the poetic lyricism she's acquired in recent years.
Her voice has grown more ethereal' I came across the beautiful Folklore album when it came out, and loved the Aaron Dessner influence.
Absolutely breathtaking. A book of poetry set to melody and pure balm for the soul. Whether you follow Taylor's life closely or not (I don't really), the words and themes are so relatable.
