This album is in the same synth-pop genre as Swift&#8217;s last album <em>Midnights<\/em>. Unsurprisingly, <em>The Tortured Poets Department<\/em> was an immediate hit and many songs quickly gained traction on social media boosting the success of the album.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Songs such as \u201cThe Smallest Man Who Ever Lived\u201d and \u201cThe Black Dog\u201d show Swift&#8217;s lyrical abilities and her poetic side. Many songs on the new album echo songs on her previous albums such as <em>Speak Now<\/em> and <em>Red<\/em>. The song \u201cMy Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys\u201d from <em>TTPD<\/em> and the song \u201cMine\u201d on <em>Speak Now<\/em> share similar messages, and some people even think that \u201cMy Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys\u201d is a   continuation of the story in \u201cMine\u201d. Many of the songs on the new album are extremely catchy, and people find the songs to be stuck in their heads all day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, I really enjoyed the album and the musical diversity between &#8220;poetic songs&#8221; and more straight-forward pop songs. The maturity exhibited in this album is far different from anything Swift has previously released, and I&#8217;m quickly finding this album to be one of my favorites.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Aleena Khan With the release of Taylor Swift&#8217;s beautifully crafted album, The Tortured Poets Department, there was a lot of love as well as hate.
