Fans who picked up physical album for Taylor Swift's Tortured Poets Department were surprised with a contribution from another prolific songwriter: Stevie Nicks. Swift tapped the Fleetwood Mac singer to write an original poem for the surprise double album, which serves as a prologue to the 31-track album.
The piece is has the simple title "A Poem By Stevie Nicks," and includes an annotation of the time and date when it was written: "Sept. 13, 8:50 p.m." It depicts feelings of heartbreak at the end of a relationship—an apt subject for Swift's eleventh album, which has been speculated be inspired by her breakups with actor Joe Alwyn and The 1975 rockstar Matty Healy.
