While some reviews did laud Swift’s latest offering, the album failed to dazzle a healthy branch of critics.
Had Swift’s run as a brilliant pop star finally run its course?
It was with those reviews in mind that I hit play last Friday afternoon and visited “The Tortured Poets Department” for myself.
Initially, “Tortured Poets” failed to resonate with me.
That is because it takes more than a day to get one’s arms around a 31-track album like “Tortured Poets.” Swift’s album demands time to be fully appreciated.
