    Is Lover Really Taylor's Flop Era?

Why does Lover lack that special sauce that is innate to every other Taylor album?

    TTPD: Part 1

    We hereby conduct this review of The Tortured Poets Department, an album that sees Taylor shedding her previous skins to reveal raw honesty with a theatrical narrative.
