Taylor Swift’s highly anticipated album, ‘The Tortured Poets of Department’, has received mixed reviews. The album, which features 31 tracks, has been praised by some critics but panned by others.
One critic who was not impressed with the album was from NME, who wrote that the album is ‘flat, cringe-inducing, and ‘devoid of any noticeable stylistic shift or evolution’. They explained that the album, which is said to be inspired by Matty Healy, suffers from the weight of Swift’s stardom.
The critic also pointed out that Swift’s pursuit of superstardom and her preoccupation with negative public opinion have become tiresome themes in her discography and have left little room for the poignant lyrical observations that she is known for.
Despite the negative review, Swift has expressed her satisfaction with the other mostly positive reviews of her eleventh album. She took to social media to share her thoughts on it, writing, ‘And that’s the closest I’ve come to my heart exploding’.
