Professor Elizabeth Scala, who teaches a course on Swift's songbook at the University of Texas at Austin, says “there is something poetical about the way she writes,” adding that her work on “The Tortured Poets Department” references a time before print technology when people sang poems. “In the earliest stages of English poetry, they were inseparable,” she says. “Not absolutely identical, but they have a long and rich history together that is re-energized by Taylor Swift.
As for current U.S. poet laureate Ada Limon? “Poetry and song lyrics aren't exactly the same ,” she wrote to the AP. “But having an icon like Taylor bring more attention to poetry as a genre is exciting.”Scala sees Swift's influences on “The Tortured Poets Department” as including Slyvia Path, a confessional poet she previously drew inspiration from on songs like “Mad Woman” and “Tolerate It.
On “Fortnight,” it appears in a few ways. Adair points out that the chorus is more syncopated than the rest of the song - which means Swift uses many more syllables for the same beat. “It gives this rushed quality,” she says.
