Taylor Swift Tortured Poets - Tumblr Posts
TTPD is about IWTV
(Part One)
Okay, listen, I know I sound crazy and if you’re not a Swiftie or an Anne Rice fan, then those acronyms are going to look like gibberish to you.
But, the girlies who get it, get it. And this is for us!
I was listening to Tortured Poet’s and thinking about IWTV Season Two (we’re so close to May 12th!), and then something clicked in my brain.
EVERY SONG ON THIS ALBUM FITS INTO THE IWTV UNIVERSE.
Just hear me out.
Due to tumblr’s ten image limit per post, this is going to be a thread of sorts. I’ll be going through every song on the album and explaining where I think they fit into the vampire canon. Starting with…
1.) Fortnight
To me, this song screams a brief fling wherein one party was not “in” as much as the other. And what can unrequited love mean besides, of course, Lesmand.
“You ended up not with the person you loved and now you have to just live with that every day, wondering what would’ve been, maybe seeing them out.”
-Taylor Swift
To me, this song is Armand lamenting the loss of Lestat from his life, and wishing things could’ve gone differently.
“And for a fortnight there we were, forever”
“I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary”
“I love you, it’s ruining my life, I love you, it’s ruining my life”
“I touched you for only a fortnight, I touched you, but I touched you”
2.) The Tortured Poet’s Department
This eponymous track has to go to Daniel and Armand. It’s only fitting. I know, I know, Daniel uses tapes to record the interview, not a typewriter, but it’s close enough.
If you consider the Devil’s Minion chapter from QotD, this song hits even harder. And honestly, what is Daniel if not a tortured poet?
“You left your typewriter at my apartment”
“And who's gonna hold you like me?”
“And who's gonna know you, if not me?”
“This ain’t the Chelsea hotel, we’re modern idiots”
“But you told Lucy you'd kill yourself if I ever leave”
“And I had said that to Jack about you, so I felt seen”
“Everyone we know understands why it's meant to be, cause we’re crazy”

I knew it. I knew it.
Taylor Swift x IWTV is real.
SAY IT.
People who say they don't like or understand Tortured Poets are not listening!!! They are more focused on who is it about? or What about? They are not listening to the deep meaning, the lyrics, the absolute masterpiece of words and poems.
This is what she said it was, A manuscript, a collection of poems never meant to be seen in the light of day! The chaos, and Mania she went through. Its not meant for mainstream song’s or media like midnights.
This album is not a bob just meant to be listened like any other songs.
Like any poems its meant to be analyzed, to be sat on.
every time there is something new you never considered before.
