In The Tortured Poets Department, Taylor Swift is said to hint at many people, from old enemy Kim Kardashian to current lover Travis Kelce. However, fans believe that the central character of the 11th studio album of "Country Music Princess" is her ex-lover Joe Alwyn.

The romance between the British actor and the American music superstar began in 2017. After 6 years together, they thought the two would have a beautiful ending, the wedding of the century. However, they suddenly broke up in March 2023.

During the process of their passionate love, Taylor wrote nearly 20 songs dedicated to her boyfriend who is 2 years younger, with many sweet words.

They will go back to how they were then," Taylor explained, mentioning the fact that there are people who still hold out hope about broken, toxic relationships.

And on the other hand, many newspapers also released a ranking of the 10 worst lyrics in "The Tortured Poets Department" - many people think that Taylor Swift can't even keep up her form with writing lyrics, and many listen to them. very "cringy" cheesy and old.
