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.

Om Podcasten

13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast is a deep dive into everything Taylor Swift, her extensive discography, and all of her accomplishments. She is literally The Man of the music industry, after all. Join Nick Adams, Ana Szabo, Amy Nichols and Lacey Gee every Tuesday as they break down a Taylor Swift song (TV only, of course, depending on which era we are currently in... What Era are we even in anyway?) and answer questions such as... Who was the inspiration behind that song? What connection ties this song to previous ones? Which bridge is our favorite to cross? How many Easter eggs have we yet to uncover? What does Taylor Swift put on her charcuterie boards? What does she smell like? And most importantly, what every Swiftie really wants to know…. What’s next?! But like a good Mastermind taught us, always be on the lookout! Be sure to subscribe to 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast so you’ll be the first to know anytime we drop an emergency SwifTea episode. We can be a bit chaotic when the SwifTea is piping hot.
