Taylor Swift 's latest release, The Tortured Poets Department, is continuing to make waves amid its anticipated release.
The streaming platform shared the news in a post on X that read: 'On April 19th, 2024, Taylor Swift's 'Fortnight ' became Spotify's most-streamed song in a single day' She gushed about her collaborator, '@postmalone blew me away on set as our tortured tragic hero and I'm so grateful to him for everything he put into this collaboration.'
Around the same time, the Anti-Hero hitmaker's new project hit number one in over 60 countries on iTunes. Taylor then wishes an ex well who betrayed her: All of this to say, I hope you're okay, but you're the reason / No one here's to blame but what about your quiet treason. It also appears to heavily reference her fling with Matty as she sings: 'You smokеd then ate seven bars of chocolate / We declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist.
Fans have suggested the title is a reference to the 'shiny toy she sang about in her hit Cruel Summer from the album Lover. 'Everything comes out teenage petulance,' sings Taylor as she bitterly surveys the fallout from an old relationship. Verse three she muses: 'And you say I abandoned the ship, but I was going down with it / My white knuckle dying grip holding tight to your quiet resentment.'
'Now I’m running with my dress unbuttoned, / Screaming, But daddy I love him / I’m having his baby / No I’m not, but you should see your faces.' 'For just one hour of sunshine / Years of labor, locks and ceilings / In the shade of how he was feeling.' 9. Guilty As Sin?A tale of unrequited love, and a superb slice of 1980s-style soft rock. It even mentions The Downtown Lights, a 1989 single by Scottish band The Blue Nile.
She appears to be referring to chain smoking, booze loving Matty, as she sings: 'The smoke cloud billows out his mouth like a freight train through a small town / The jokes that he told across the bar were revolting and far too loud.' She describes being love-bombed by an old flame, seemingly referring to Matty given their past experience.
13. I Can Do It With A Broken HeartMore 1980s influences on an electronic pop track that sees Taylor vowing to remain a trouper, despite any romantic strife. 14. The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived'You didn't measure up in any measure of a man,' sings a disdainful Taylor on a melodramatic ballad. 15. The AlchemyNot all the songs are about heartbreak, as sporting metaphors aplenty suggest a track inspired by the singer's current boyfriend, American football star Travis Kelce.Speaking about the upcoming release back in February, when he was building up to the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, Kelce said he had heard some of the songs on Taylor's latest release.
Bonus tracks on The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology17. The Black Dog The Black Dog is also a reference to depression and lack of energy based on a demonic hellhound acting as an omen of death in English folklore and literature. 18. ImgonnagetyoubackTaylor is torn between calling things off for good or rekindling with an ex in imgonnagetyouback.
19. The AlbatrossIt seems London watering holes are a theme of the album, with The Black Dog and The Bolter joining The Albatross as apparent references to venues. Taylor is taking no prisoners in this track, referring to herself as one of the largest seabirds on Earth - famed for their giant wingspan and ability to glide seamlessly.
'Named Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus / And I just watched it happen / As the decade would play us for fools.' 21. How Did It End? Taylor appears to reference the speculation over her relationship with Joe as she details in the chorus: 22. So High SchoolWhile many tracks are bold aims at her exes Matt and Joe, happiness does reign in her track So High School where she discusses current boyfriend Travis.
23. I Hate It Here Taylor relies in escapism to distract herself from the issues plaguing her real life, describing herself as going to 'secret gardens in my mind'. 'All that time you were throwin' punches, I was buildin' somethin' / And I can't forgive the way you made me feel / Screamed 'F**k you, Aimee' to the night sky, as the blood was gushin' / But I can't forget the way you made me heal.'
She sings: 'And so I changed your name, and any real defining clues/And one day, your kid comes home singin' a song that only us two is gonna know is about you.' 26. The Prophecy Taylor seems to be pained by the thought of trying to find an intimate love when her life is so public. 'I just have to wake up in the morning and say,"How am I feeling today? If someone asks for a picture, am I gonna feel imposed upon today because I'm dealing with my own stuff? Am I gonna take my own stuff out on some innocent 14-year-old today and be in a bad mood?"27. CassandrathanK you aIMee might not be the only song issuing shots at Kim Kardashians, with Cassandra also seeming to be filled with veiled digs.
While Taylor insisted that she hadn't consented to Kanye labelled her a 'b***h' in his track, many accused her of being a snake.Taylor references snakes in her song, sharing: 'So, they killed Cassandra first ‘cause she feared the worst / And tried to tell the town / So, they filled my cell with snakes, I regret to say / Do you believe me now?'
The initial claim came from a fan writing: 'The Bolter is a bar in London where Taylor and Joe went on their first outing?!?!???? I’m done, BYE'. 30. Robin Her penultimate track is also reflective of her youth as she reflects on how innocence is ripped away with age.
