About The Tortured Poets Department
Taylor Swift conceived "The Tortured Poets Department" shortly after finishing work on " Midnights " and continued developing the former during the Eras Tour, her ongoing sixth concert tour. Self-described as her "lifeline" album, "The Tortured Poets Department" was perceived by Swift as a culmination of imperative songwriting. Post Malone features on the opening track "Fortnight", which was released as the lead single, and Florence and the Machine features on "Florida!!!".
Musically, the album is a synth-pop effort with rock and folk stylings, driven by synthesizers and drum machines alongside live instruments such as the piano and guitar. The songs delve into Swift's psyche and introspect on her public and private lives, blending sorrow and humour. Music critics praised "The Tortured Poets Department" for its cathartic, self-conscious songwriting and the understated production style, while some felt the album was not a musical evolution for Swift. The album has also set several records and surpassed "Midnights" to achieve the highest single-day streams for an album on the streaming platform Spotify, and marked the largest pre-order sum in the history of the retailer Target.
