Taylor Swift is the biggest music artist in the world and maybe the biggest ever, and this week on the Deep Dive, we're joined by Kate to talk about her newest album "The Tortured Poets Department." We discuss Swift's celebrity and the way the album sometimes harmoniously, sometimes dissonantly, blends themes of audience, expectation, and artistic vulnerability. In our Shallow End, we discuss the NBA and NHL playoffs happening right now, MLB umpires being criticized, and women ruling in the desert at Coachella.
