The Tortured Poets Department,1989,Entertainment

The Tortured Poets Department is a solid but underwhelming effort from a pop star at the peak of her powers

Taylor Swift has cultivated a daunting amount of lore to sift through. The casual fan doesn’t need to know the entire backstory to enjoy The Tortured Poets Department , the artist’s 11th album, but do casual fans of Taylor Swift even exist anymore? Over the past three years, she’s gone from megafamous to ultrafamous to something we may not even have words for yet, accumulating yet more fans who are here, not just for the music, but for the full Taylor Swift Experience.

Some songs come close to shaking Swift out of her placidity, particularly those produced by Aaron Dessner . Even Antonoff, whose track record of success with Swift is undeniable, occasionally feels fresh here, like with the sultry story “I Can Fix Him .” The album is at its best when things get a little weird or a little loud . It also works when she leans into her sense of humor, taking trite, eye-roll-inducing song titles and flipping them in unexpected ways.
