Summary
We're back with a very important and length episode: unpacking the juicy morsels of The Tortured Poets Department. Taylor Swift's 11th studio album is the culmination of years spent honing her craft. And, it's a significant departure from her previous Grammy award winning record, Midnights. Today, The Snakes unpack first thoughts from this mammoth of a record: interrogating the muses, the futility of trying to 'assign' a muse, and the evolution of Taylor's perspective on love through the years.

| 1:04.1 | It was like 16, 15 hours before I found out about it. |
| 1:05.5 | I was completely locked off. You listened to the whole thing. |
| 1:06.9 | You listened to the whole thing filmed your reaction. |
| 1:08.4 | I was editing. |
| 1:10.5 | I would not even editing. |

| 1:20.8 | Wrong. |
| 1:21.3 | Wrong. |
| 1:22.3 | Well, we won't be able to analyze all of that today because we frankly have enough gaggery to get through |
| 1:29.6 | with the standard version of the album. So there will be a second part of tortured poetology. |
