User Patty Eminger pointed out what seems to be a clear link between the two, adding: “The album is just pure mania, and I heard someone describe it as ‘Tolerate It’ [from 2020’s Evermore] on meth, and I was like, ‘Perfect, just what I wanted.’”
Plenty of the Swifties in the comments agreed, and pointed out that Taylor “liked” the video, thus seemingly confirming his theory.

HRH Taylor Swift, the Sagittarius queen of confessional songwriting, sick burns, and exhuming the sins of her exes, is back at it with the release of ‘The Tortured Poets Department,’ her 11th studio album.
