The Tortured Poets Department: What IS Taylor Swift's new album? 🪶☕️🐾 (playlists, pop & predictions)

Ally, You often say, “What a time to be alive”. I agree. Let me tell you a bit about me. I am a Senior Swiftie. I was born in 1958. I remember Elvis. I remember the exact moment it was announced that he had passed. I was driving and I had to pull over. There were 50 other cars pulled over, too. We couldn't cry and drive at the same time. What a time to be alive! I was 6 years old the first time The Beatles were on The Ed Sullivan show in America. It was my birthday. What a time to be alive. I was born the same year as Michael Jackson. We grew up together. I fell in love with The Jackson fFive at age 10. I cried my eyes out at age 50 when he died. What a time to be alive. I've witnessed and listened to all the greats over the last half a century but none have touched my heart like Miss Swift has. She has written a song about every emotion I have ever felt. She has touched every heartstring I possess. What a time to be alive.

the fact that taylor is probably WELL into the making of TS12 haunts me at night

I think that THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT being in all caps is supposed to mirror the typewriter, but also represent the departure from previous albums (burn all the files, desert all the past lives)

loml being in lowercase reminds me of texting, and how an acronym like ily doesn’t have the same impact or significance as saying I love you, even though that’s what it stands for. I feel like the song may be about how over the course of a relationship big gestures and statements like “you’re the love of my life” can gradually lose their weight if you overuse them in the place of actually making an effort to connect with your partner, or as a bandage over any issues between the two of you

The 'screaming crying throwing up, punch me in the face' caught me off guard, and made me ldaugh for like, 20 minuets ALLY OMG

YOU HAVE A PSYCHOLOGY DEGREE???? That explains a lot (you being THE safe space for so many people)

"Having to choose b/w this person that you love so deeply and see a future with or the life you want for yourself. That would be a great concept for a song." Midnight Rain: Am I a joke to you?

i think i’ve always known lavender haze was written in some kind of deep denial because taylor does want to get married. like throughout her whole career, she has continually written about marriage in one way or another so to hear her suddenly be like “i don’t even want that” even though she wrote about wanting to marry him on extremely recent songs made me be like hmmmm she could’ve changed her mind i guess but idk about that really

I HOPE TO GOD YOU DO A FULL ALBUM REACTION SIT DOWN. Im literally equally excited for the album+your reaction

watching allys new video while making friendship bracelets for the eras tour is next level of self-care <3

Imagine loml stands for “loss of my life” but she’s saying that because she was dating him there was a loss of her life

i think a wax seal stamp kit would be such cute merch for this album!! and we know taylor has a custom set that she uses for her own letters

I think my only prediction is that she might directly reference previous lyrics to sort of rewrite them, specifically lyrics about Joe. The theme of blue, gold, lyrics on lover or rep, etc.

Ok but is nobody gonna talk about how gorgeous she looks?

Happy poets month everyone!!! I hope you're all feeling as excited as I am and I hope these videos have helped some newer fans prepare 🥰 Give this video a "like" if you want me to react to the full album!

🔵18:30🔵 I feel like she'll use the color BLUE in "The Albatross" Like how the bird Albatross flies over the ocean which is BLUE And she'll use the ocean (BLUE) as a metaphor for the memories she had with Joe or something. That's just my guess.

Dude. We’re here. Bring it, Ally. I took the day off, made a doctor’s appointment (Taylor holds a Ph.D) and my therapist gave me their direct line.

Touching on the idea of a “long live” part two, maybe we’ll hear something along the lines of “I can do it with a broke heart.. cause I have you” where she’s speaking to the fans who showed up for tour to love on her while she was grieving her breakup :) just a thought! Love the video!!

Stop the survey idea sounds so cool!! If there’s one thing in this world I love, it’s filling out Google forms

The song "I can do it with a broken heart" is abt the tour you were correct
