Dear Reader,
On April 19th, 2024, we entered into a whole new Taylor Swift era. What was already a big night turned into so much more when Taylor not only gave us The Tortured Poets Department, but at 2am revealed that TTPD was a surprise DOUBLE ALBUM - I am still reeling 😅 With an extra 15 tracks to accompany the original 16, these 31 new tracks make up The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology. (And did you notice the total runtime of The Anthology is 2 hours 2 minutes?! More 2’s!) With so many new sounds to explore, poetic lyrics to digest, and unrestrained emotions to grapple with - it truly has been quite the album drop.
This newsletter covers TTPD updates since the album’s release, my reaction to the first half of the album (in this YouTube video!), my initial top songs after my first listen to The Anthology, “Fortnight” music video Easter Eggs to ponder, reviews to check out, and more. My ears and my mind are on overload, in the very best way possible - and I’m so excited to bring you along! I’d love to hear your first thoughts and impressions too 🫶
