We’re less than a week from the release of THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT, the all-caps eleventh Taylor Swift album. We still don’t know what it will sound like, but it’s fun to imagine Taylor leaning into the weirder side of her personality. I love when Taylor gets weird; it’s one of the reasons why Midnights worked so well for me. But folks, Ms. Swift has always been weird. Here’s a playlist that I’ve curated of what I think are her weirdest moments. (Apologies if the Apple link has the songs out of order. I’m not sure why it did that!)
