Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department
Taylor Swift dropped an epic new album that spans two hours — and two high-profile breakups. The Tortured Poets Department delves deeply into two of the singer's recent relationships — one with the English actor Joe Alwyn and the other with Matty Healy, who's the lead singer of The 1975.

But changes are also taking place: secrets get revealed, the team roster gets shuffled, and characters meet shocking fates.
