Taylor Swift's Literary Era
Published 1 year, 11 months ago
Description
The Tortured Poets Department, Taylor Swift's 11th studio album, finds her in the world of literature. She interweaves personal romance with mythical creation and quotations from from Genesis, Peter Pan and Playstation. Despite calling herself a "modern idiot," less-than-subtle nods to Sylvia Plath, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Dylan Thomas, and Patti Smith reveal the artist's literary aspirations. The full length Anthology version traverses genres from pulp, to diary entry, to period piece, to epic poems to her very own genre, Taylor Swift.
