A controversial topic that has been widely discussed over the last seven months has been the many versions that exist of The Tortured Poets Department. Ranging from the spreadsheets and charts fans have made to track which edition contains what, to the arguments over the fairness of Taylor’s tactics when it comes to these releases, or even the confusion over why they existed at all while the anthology was still confined to streaming. It’s been a contentious topic that has seemed to finally lead up to the latest release of what seems to be the definitive edition of Taylor’s eleventh studio album.

In this episode we speak about every single edition and version of TTPD that Taylor Swift has released over the last seven months, from the original special editions, to the many live covers, to the upcoming Anthology release. We discuss why they exist and how fair of a tactic it is within the current climate of the music industry. We finally go over everything we know about the Anthology, including bonus tracks, cover change, and release dates.
