The Tortured Poets Department, April 19 🤍

— taylor swift albums as months of the year —

I am just so excited for The Tortured Poets Department. I know we don't *know* anything but also we do!!! we know: she is an established songwriter who only gets better, that she chooses production to compliment the accompanying mood of the story told, that there is a purpose to the tracklist, and there's a curated story told within each album. and the album!!! the forlorn aesthetic, left alone in an empty bed reeling from ghosts. the tracklist names and three track runs I can already imagine: So Long, London, But Daddy I Love Him, Fresh Out The Slammer? Florida, Guilty As Sin?, Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?? and my personal favorite currently: The Alchemy, Clara Bow, and The Manuscript?

if I had to take a guess, and I will, the album will explore a relationship where there's a lot of pain and yes some artistry and yes even beauty that was pulled from it, but ultimately that living with that weight is too much for anyone to bear. I could be way off but either way I just cannot WAIT
