One year later, The Tortured Poets Department is still driving The Snake Nation to the brink, and we love to see it. In this installment of Phone a Snake, you sent us your roses, your thorns,, and your most chaotic takes on Taylor’s messiest album. We discuss certified worm behavior, whether emotional cheating counts, the horror of thanK u aIMee and how TTPD turned casual fans into 1975 apologists. Plus: why Taylor might be an ethical cheater (but not an ethical billionaire), why Florida!!! smells like regret, and what happens when you stan a version of Taylor that never existed.
