favourite 2024 albums → THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT: THE ANTHOLOGY by Taylor Swift
"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."
I feel like the first half of TTPD is about the rage and the grief and the mania and the lust and all of the huge emotions that swirled through her in the immediate moments of the last 2 years. The second half is about all the little feelings and realizations and things she sat with afterwards and in-between the huge bombs going off in her life. The first half is just all the mess, laid out on the table. The second half is where she gets out a map and shows us how the paths connect to each other.
