Taylor Swift’s latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, created a buzz among fans when it was released late Friday night. However, the excitement escalated even further when Swift surprised her loyal followers with an additional 15 tracks in the early hours of the morning. This collection, known as TTPD: The Anthology, shattered Spotify records before its official release, making it the most pre-saved album in history.
The mastermind behind many of these new songs is none other than Aaron Dessner, who co-wrote a total of 15 tracks on both parts of The Tortured Poets Department. While Swift is known for her heartfelt lyrics, Dessner played a significant role in bringing these songs to life alongside longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff. Notably, Dessner co-wrote and produced 11 of the Anthology tracks, including the standout song “The Black Dog,” which was solely penned by Swift herself.
As fans delved into the 31 new tracks, they couldn’t help but notice the distinctive styles between the original TTPD portion, where Antonoff’s influence was prominent, and the fresh sound of the Anthology tracks, which showcased Dessner’s intricate production. Of particular note is the track “ThanK you aIMee,” believed to be a subtle message directed at Kim Kardashian.
In appreciation of Dessner’s contributions to the album, fans took to social media to express their gratitude. Messages flooded in, praising Dessner for his work on TTPD: The Anthology. One fan humorously offered up a kidney, while another highlighted the undeniable chemistry between Swift and Dessner in creating some of the album’s standout songs.
