Unless you've been living under a particularly secluded rock on a faraway desert island, you might be aware that Taylor Swift is a particularly notable figure in pop culture at this point in time. Whether that be her numerous Grammy Award wins or her sold-out worldwide Eras Tour, it's been hard to escape her presence, and it's about to get even harder now that her new album, The Tortured Poets Department, has hit streaming services.
Now, I'll make no attempt at hiding the fact that I'm what you could call a "Swiftie", although I'm perhaps not as deranged as some fans out there, which I take great pride in. That being said, I am a huge fan of her last three albums, with 2020's Folklore remaining a constant fixture within many of my playlists. Henceforth, I was keen to dive into Swift's latest album, especially the 31-track extended edition.
