This past Friday, Taylor Swift released her eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department. It emerged onto the musical scene, captivating both fans and critics with its deeply personal exploration of Swift’s psyche and experiences. The album is a culmination of Swift’s ongoing artistic evolution, conceived during her Eras Tour (2023–2024) and written over the past two years. Featuring a blend of synth-pop, rock, and folk stylings, the album is giving a perfect mix of Folklore, Midnights, and 1989 (Taylor’s Version) vibes. Despite opinions on its musical direction, The Tortured Poets Department breaks commercial records, and also breaks everyone’s hearts, showcasing Swift’s influence and ability to resonate deeply with audiences. Here’s how some celebs are praising the album:

Dave Portnoy

I love all the hardos who trash Taylor Swift but then cum on rap battles and dis tracks. Taylor is arguably the greatest singer/songwriter diss track writer ever. You don't have to love her but if you don't respect her otherworldly talent you are a hater #TTPD
