Wise men once said.... listening to Taylor Swift makes you smarter! Did you know that "The Albatross" was inspired by an 18th century poem? Leave it to Taylor to educate us on poetry that we never knew about! 

In this song, Taylor takes a story about how in olden times sailors saw albatross birds as signs of bad luck and misfortune, and flips the script to take the power as a woman who is often seen as an enemy. 

Nick, Ana, Amy, and Lacey discuss the lyrics, the storytelling, the inspiration, the history, the poetry... everything that goes into an outstanding Taylor Swift song on THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT.
