In response to reviews, Taylor Swift is commemorating the global success of her most recent album, The Tortured Poets Department. The Karma hitmaker used her Instagram stories on Sunday to post appropriate lyrics from her eleventh studio album in response to some of the favorable headlines from prominent US and UK tabloids. This occurs in the midst of a magazine declining to include a byline for a critical assessment of TTPD because of previous violent threats.
The Cruel Summer singer shared the Rolling Stone review, “Come for the Torture, Stay for the Poetry,” which included the line from the album’s title track, “And that’s the closest I’ve come to my heart exploding.” She accompanied her message with an emoji of a white heart.

Swift also reposted the review, “Irresistible, country-hued tales of relationships past and present,” from The Independent. In response to the favorable review, she cited another line from the album’s title track: “Everyone we know understands why it’s meant to be.”
The Fortnight singer expressed her feelings in response to Paste Magazine’s recent announcement that the author of a critical review of TTPD had had their byline removed due to “threats of violence.”
