In the Tortured Poets booklet, Swift wrote a prologue in which she leaned into the situationship of it all, calling it a lapse in judgment. 'In summation, it was not a love affair!' I screamed. It was a mutual manic phase ... A smirk creeps onto this poet's face, because it's the worst men that I write best.'
Both albums debuted at the top of the charts, with Swift breaking several records and achieving the second-largest sales week in history. Obviously, breakup records are an industry mainstay, from Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill to Adele's 21 and SZA's SOS.
But with Swift and Carpenter's critically acclaimed records, they're proving that situationships can sometimes inspire more raw and brutally honest songcraft. Their work shows that artists can translate complex modern relationships into compelling narratives that resonate deeply with audiences.
