Taylor Swift's long-awaited, recently released album turns out to be a two-hour, 31-song epic that explores an inexhaustible source of inspiration: heartbreak.

Tortured Poets Section (““The Tortured Poets Oath,” (free translation) joins the veritable ocean of poignant works born from what we feel when someone breaks our hearts.

That ultimate agony when we are rejected by someone to whom we still have a deep attachment.

Although it is emotional pain, many of its descriptions refer to physical sensations.
