Taylor Swift released her 11th album on 4/19/24: The Tortured Poets Department, and an expanded double album 2 hours later: The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology! Even with 31 songs at our fingertips, reviews are mixed between Swifties and the media. This caused a 3rd Amazon Music version doing track by track commentary on the original. "Delicately" sharing my honest review, I recap Taylor's 2023 events, analyze TTPD, and which songs I like from both versions.
