On the emotionally raw record, the pop superstar, 34, details a tumultuous time in her personal life as she was riding yet another career high.

While fans expected the album to be inspired entirely by her six-year relationship with ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn, Swift surprised the world yet again with a number of tracks that were seemingly written about her brief romance last year with The 1975 musician Matty Healy.

It was really a lifeline for me — just the things that I was going through, the things that I was writing about … it kind of reminded me why songwriting actually gets me through my life,” she told fans about her new music at a tour stop earlier this year. “I’ve never had an album that I needed songwriting more than I needed it on Tortured Poets.”

Indeed, some of Tortured Poet’s tracks are laced with longing and heartache, while others scream (literally) anger and disbelief — not just with her ex-lovers but with the public’s dissection of her love life.

On opening track “Fortnight,” Swift wistfully reflects about becoming strangers with a former lover. “And no one here’s to blame/ But what about your quiet treason?” she sings about the short-lived romance. “I took the miracle move-on-drug/ The effects were temporary/ And I love you, it’s ruining my life.”
