Kinda convinced Taylor just wants to shut us up with the double album theories because now that we have 31 songs I’m scratching my head like damn this is kind of overwhelming I need time to process the first one and she’s probably just like yeah no shit but you guys wanted this
So incredibly grateful and honored to contribute to this vast and ambitious album -- it's not lost on me how lucky I am that @taylorswift13 shares her insane talents and trusts me to help make this music ❤️I hope you enjoy all 31 songs as much as I do!!
The Tortured Poets Department. An anthology of new works that reflect events, opinions and sentiments from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time - one that was both sensational and sorrowful in equal measure. This period of the author’s life is now over, the chapter closed and boarded up. There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed. And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self-inflicted. This writer is of the firm belief that our tears become holy in the form of ink on a page. Once we have spoken our saddest story, we can be free of it.
And then all that’s left behind is the tortured poetry.
