Intro to The Tortured Poets Department - Epilogue & Prologue!

We have officially entered THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT! Before we deep dive into the music and lyrics of this album, we think it’s important to understand Taylor’s epilogue, as well as the prologue by Stevie Nicks. Both passages are important elements to the album as a whole, so let’s discuss the overall themes and ideas before we dive in! Plus, Ana has a “working thesis” on how this album ties to Taylor’s discography as a whole! And the best part - a very sweet surprise from a fellow Swiftie to help us kick off this era, and a thoughtful gift from Lacey’s sister! This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
