"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."

The first single from The Tortured Poets Department is…………. Fortnight featuring Post Malone 🤍 I’ve been such a huge fan of Post because of the writer he is, his musical experimentation and those melodies he creates that just stick in your head forever. I got to witness that magic come to life firsthand when we worked together on Fortnight. Honestly can’t wait for you guys to hear this song at Midnight TONIGHT and see the video at 8pm ET TOMORROW.

Midnights era is over. Usually I update my profile as fast as I can to the new era, but I was so attached to my Midnights era profile that I postponed to change it now. Well, now it's a new icon, new header, new profile according to The Tortured Poets Department era.

Theory about "Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me?"

First of all, this theory isn't mine! I saw this video on Tik Tok of a Brazilian woman. I found it really interesting and decided to share it with you. She's an English teacher and her account on Tik Tok is @teachermaryhollywood. I could just post her video here, but she's speaking Portuguese in it, and I know the majority of my followers are English native or non-native speakers, so here I am to bring it translated to you.

If you are a non-native English speaker like me, let's learn something:

What's the meaning of "little old me"? When you translate "Who's afraid of little old me?" to your native language, you may not realize how ironic this title is. If like me, you thought "little old me" was only a reference of age, you (and me) were wrong. "Little old me" is an English idiom and it is "a way of referring to yourself that is meant to be modest or self-deprecatory, though often fake".

"Who's afraid of little old me?" made lot of people remind of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?". But what are we talking about?

"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" This is the title of a play written by the American Edward Albee which was first staged in 1962 and it was adapted to the cinema in 1966. The lead actors on the screen were Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor.

They starred together in 11 films and while they were together, their relationship was considered the "marriage of the century" by the media. When we talk about this couple, does it remind you of something?

When Taylor Swift released the reputation album, we believe that the majority of the songs, inclunding "...Ready For It?" were written about a specific person. We also believe that The Tortured Poets Department will talk about the same person...

Back to the play... its title is a pun on the song "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?" from Walt Disney's Three Little Pigs from 1933.

A nice pun happens here with the word "wolf" and the surname "Woolf". There's a scene where Elizabeth Taylor sings the line "Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf?" in the same way the little pigs sing "Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?" in the Disney film.

The play/film focus on the middle-aged couple Martha and George. They have a toxic relationship. George is a professor in a university. One evening after a university faculty party, they receive a younger couple, Nick and Honey as guests and the rest is chaos...

But who is Virginia Woolf? Virginia Woolf was an English writer who began writing professionally in 1900. She is considered one of the most important modernist 20th-century authors. She pioneered the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device. Stream of consciousness is a narrative mode or method that attempts "to depict the multitudinous thoughts and feelings which pass through the mind" of a narrator. She used to depict the truth of her characters in a special way.

Concluding part But why are we talking about all those things? Well, in the play/film Martha and George live in a big illusion. This means that when they ask: "who's afraid of Virginia Woolf?", they're asking "who's afraid of... the truth?". So when Taylor asks: "who's afraid of little old me?", she can be asking "who's afraid of the truth?"

It's important to remind you one more time: This is just a theory that ISN'T MINE. It's from @teachermaryhollywood available on her account on Tik Tok.

Taylor can be asking another thing. Let's wait to hear the song and create more theories because this is so representative of us and our fandom.

Taylor announced The Tortured Poets Department on February 4th, 2024. She said it was a secret she was keeping 2 years ago. Which made me think: the album was completely ready since 2022. Then I thought: there won't be anything about the breakup because it happened the following year. But then I remembered she wrote You're Losing Me in 2021, so there would be songs about her last relationship. But again I thought: some songs could be already done since 2022, but also some songs could've been written during The Eras Tour in 2023 and later included on the album. Now Taylor posted on her Instagram story this quote: "Crowd goes wild at her fingertips. Half moonshine, full eclipse." Before she performs The Man, she pointes out her fingertip to the crowd and people go wild. So some songs can really have been recorded in 2023.
