The Tortured Poets Department

You'll enjoy these titles because: The Tortured Poets Department is Taylor Swift's eleventh studio album. Taylor has said that it "... is an album that, I think, more than any of my albums that I’ve ever made, I needed to make it. It was really a lifeline for me, just the things I was going through, the things I was writing about, it kind of reminded me of why songwriting is something that actually gets me through my life. I’ve never had an album where I needed to write more and I needed on The Tortured Poets Department." Within two hours of the album's release, Swift surprised fans with a reissue titled "The Anthology," which added 15 tracks, including four bonus physical tracks, to the original 16-song tracklist. https://www.sjpl.org/blogs/post/ya-friday-the-tortured-poets-department
