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.
When she announced the album’s imminent arrival at the 2024 Grammys, Swift gave fans several clues about its contents just by sharing the title. As Swifties quickly discovered, The Tortured Poets Department sounds a lot like the “Tortured Man Club,” a group chat Alwyn has with fellow brooding thespians Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott. Even the punctuation suggests a direction: The lack of a possessive apostrophe indicates that this fictional department is devoted to the study, analysis, and discussion of these poor poets, as if they were not tormented enough already. Imagine your most significant breakup, but now your ex is one of the most famous people on the planet, and they’ve just dropped a 31-track accounting of the split for the world to parse. Imagine the magnitude of their celebrity entrenching their side of the story as the story. This would be a nightmare scenario for anyone, but just how bad is it for these London boys? We recruited three highly committed Swifties, each with granular knowledge of the catalogue, to break down the double album’s damage, song by song.
Which chapters of Swift’s life have closed since Midnights came out? Most notable, the Alwyn era. Many Swiftstorians date the onset of this period to late 2016, some months after Swift encountered Alwyn — and, incidentally, subsequent summer fling Tom Hiddleston — at the Met Gala. She seems to reference their first meeting on reputation, the first Alwyn album: “Flashback to when you met me, your buzzed cut and my hair bleached,” she sings on “Dress,” evoking her platinum bob and his then-shorn head. At the time, Swift was still with Scottish DJ Calvin Harris, though another song on reputation — the Alwyn-coded “Gorgeous,” which alludes to her older club-rat boyfriend — suggests they may have been on the rocks. For the not-yet-single Swift, Alwyn’s unattainability is devastating: “You’ve ruined my life by not being mine,” she sings.
