'We seated': Internet abuzz as Taylor Swift's 'The Tortured Poets Department' to feature more explicit tracks than any prior album

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Taylor Swift is no stranger to pushing boundaries and defying expectations, but her upcoming album, 'The Tortured Poets Department,' promises to take her artistry to unprecedented heights.

With a record number of explicit tracks, Swift is poised to shed her carefully cultivated image and delve into uncharted territory, exploring mature themes and raw emotions with a boldness that has set the internet ablaze, as per Bustle.

As fans eagerly await the album's release on April 19, the anticipation and speculation surrounding 'The Tortured Poets Department' have reached fever pitch, with Swifties theorizing about the album's potential narratives and celebrating Swift's willingness to showcase her evolution as an artist in the most daring way possible.

Taylor Swift's evolution has been marked by embrace of more mature themes and language

When the pre-save option for 'The Tortured Poets Department' went live on Apple Music on March 18, fans were surprised to discover that a staggering seven out of the album's 16 tracks are marked as explicit.

This represents a significant departure from Swift's earlier works, which were relatively tame in terms of language.

The explicit tracks on the album include the title track, 'The Tortured Poets Department,' as well as 'Down Bad,' 'Florida!!!,' 'loml,' 'I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,' 'The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,' and the highly anticipated 'But Daddy I Love Him,' which fans speculate will be an emotional gut-punch.

While her debut album featured only one instance of the word "damn," her subsequent releases, such as 'Evermore' and 'Midnights,' each contained six explicit tracks, and 'Folklore' had five.

Ever since Swift announced 'The Tortured Poets Department' during the Grammy Awards in February, Swifties have been in a frenzy, dissecting every possible clue and constructing intricate theories about the album's themes and inspirations.

One widely accepted theory suggests that the record will primarily explore the deterioration of Swift's six-year romance with Joe Alwyn, with certain fans even conjecturing that the album symbolizes the five stages of grief.
