the thing is that on the actual album the concept of the tortured poet is literally only invoked ironically to make fun of her loser boyfriend in a song where she calls the two of them “modern idiots” and says they are not dylan thomas or patti smith. she literally says “who uses typewriters anyway”! to me this is perfectly fair game for taylor swift and also the song is pretty funny! if you solely listened to the album you would be like “oh taylor swift is being sarcastic and self-deprecating on this score.” maybe you would still think it was dumb but this is quite literally the only accurate reading of the intent lol. but because her songwriting exists totally cordoned off from literally any other kind of talent or taste, all the marketing for the album is typewriters and, i guess, ted hughes. like from the bottom of my heart: GIRL WHAT?

sndkakskshus taylor swift recommending a poem by ted hughes ABOUT SYLVIA PLATH in an album cycle with a bunch of psych ward inflected visuals because it’s called red and she has an album named red is the funniest fucking thing i can imagine she truly has never read a book in her life

The current state of pop girlies is so funny like
Ariana Grande: getting dragged for homewrecking with the guy who played SpongeBob in the SpongeBob musical
Taylor Swift: dropping her worst album in years about how deeply obsessed she is with Matty Healy
Billie Eilish, for some reason:

thinking about how dracula has never been accurately adapted into a film and thinking about how dev patel would play the hell out of jonathan harker

in my head the star wars equivalent of tswift is some human woman named tay’lor spiff or something and her stans are losing their minds over theories that she’s secretly a jedi singing about the horrors of war, even though she’s from a neutral system that hasn’t seen so much as a moral panic in 50 years

very funny how all the visuals and marketing for this album give the vibe that it was all outsourced to some company who had absolutely nothing to go on but the phrase “the tortured poets department” and cobbled together a couple different directions based on what that sounded like without ever being able to hear the album. except that this is taylor swift so like she was definitely involved in and signed off on all this. her complete and total lack of aesthetic sensibility will never cease to amaze me
