Taylor Swift Thanks Positive Reviewers in Response to Anonymous Critic: ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ Triumph

Who’s afraid of Taylor Swift?

The Grammy winner shouted out writers penning positive reviews of her latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” after one critic went anonymous over “safety” concerns.

The pop star, 34, reposted Rolling Stone’s “Come for the Torture, Stay for the Poetry” review via Instagram Stories Sunday and celebrated her success with her own song lyrics.

“And that’s the closest I’ve come to my heart exploding,” Swift wrote, referencing a line from her 11th record’s titular track.

She used another lyric from the same song — “Everyone we know understands why it’s meant to be” — in response to the Independent’s review calling her work “irresistible.”

Additionally, Swift reacted to the Times’ five-star review with a lyric from “The Alchemy” reading, “These chemicals hit me like whiiiiite wiiiiine.”
