Taylor Swift is opening up about the inspiration behind several of her tracks on her 11th studio album Tortured Poets Department.
In an Amazon Music commentary, Swift said the album’s opening song “Fortnight”, a team-up with Post Malone, “exhibits a lot of the common themes that run throughout this album, one of which being fatalism, longing, pining away, lost dreams.” “I think it’s a very fatalistic album in that there are lots of very dramatic lines about life or death and I love you, it’s ruining my life.
These are very hyperbolic, dramatic things to say,” she noted. “But it’s that kind of album – it’s about a dramatic, artistic, tragic kind of take on love and loss.” She said she “always imagined” that “Fortnight” occurred in an “American town where the American Dream you thought would happen to you didn’t.” “You ended up not with the person you loved and now you have to just live with that every day, wondering what would’ve been, maybe seeing them out,” she explained. “And that’s a pretty tragic concept, really.
