Taylor Swift dropped her highly anticipated 11th album — “The Tortured Poets Department” — just days ago, and the pop star’s fans have been all over it.
Thousands of videos pop up on TikTok from a search for “TTPD reaction,” as Swifties share their initial thoughts and feelings about the 31 new songs.
Amid the live reactions across social media, some have even assumed it’s their duty to analyze each and every song for others’ benefit.
Prior to its release, the album was assumed to be “a breakup album” — so many people are wondering which relationship is explained in which song(s).
A clinical psychologist who spent time analyzing Taylor Swift’s new album shared thoughts with Fox News Digital on common themes.
Dr. Robert Cuyler, chief clinical officer at Free Spirit, a prescription digital therapeutic company in Houston, Texas, said fans’ reactions to the new Swift album have been “intense.”
It’s clear that we have intense fan involvement and identification,” he said.
Cuyler said the new album is a bit of a shift from what she’s typically known to release, which could trigger extreme emotion in fans — as any person would have a reaction to a major shift in their life.
