Modeled after Margaret’s recently concluded class on Taylor Swift and confessional writing, the event will take place on Zoom and feature:

• Opening remarks from Margaret, highlighting some of the themes she’s spotted on the album and how she feels it fits in Taylor’s body of work

• An opportunity to listen to the album from beginning to end in a chat room full of other smart people just as excited to analyze this album as you are.

• A moderated discussion of the album led by Margaret following our listen-through

All are welcome— the only prerequisites for the event are:

• A copy of The Tortured Poets Department that you can listen to ad-free.

• Curiosity, kindness, and a belief that Taylor Swift’s music is worthy of serious engagement.
