Taylor Swift’s new album receives harsh review by anonymous author due to ‘threats of violence’

Taylor Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department” received a negative review from an anonymous writer due to “safety” concerns.

Paste magazine published a review titled “Taylor Swift Strikes Out Looking on ‘The Tortured Poets Department’” the same day the pop star released her album.

“This is my 13th Grammy, which is my lucky number,” she told the audience. “I don’t know if I’ve ever told you that.”

Swift explained that she wanted to celebrate by “telling you a secret that I’ve been keeping from you for the past two years.”

“I’ve been working on ‘Tortured Poets’ since right after I turned in ‘Midnights,’” she explained. “So, I started working on it immediately after that, and I’ve been working on it for about two years. I kept working on it throughout the U.S. tour, and when it was perfect in my opinion — when it was good enough for you — I finished it.”

The singer-songwriter shared positive reviews from the New York Times, Rolling Stone and The Independent on her social media. Each post on Swift’s Instagram included a shout out of the author by name.
