By popular demand (a couple of texts) we are here to discuss Taylor Swift’s colossal and complex new project, The Tortured Poets Department. We bring in special guest Abby McDonnell, the only other person we know at the center of the Taylor Swift-The 1975 fan Venn diagram, to pick apart every one of the first 16 tracks, and deliver unto you the truly horrifying amount of information we have on this debacle living in our brains.

We’ll be back next week with a special bonus episode to discuss the 15 tracks off The Anthology, as well as the critical reception, our theories around why exactly this album exists in this form, and our favorite tracks. Welcome to the Tortured Psychos Department!
