Poetic justice — Taylor Swift spills bad blood on ‘The Tortured Poets Department’: review
NY Post
Part of the art of being Taylor Swift is embodying first the Everygirl, then the Everywoman — the Miss Americana in them all, from era to era.
Beyoncé is a goddess, Taylor is a real life human — just like us.
But there’s a moment on “The Tortured Poets Department” — the insanely anticipated 11th studio album by the Queen of the Swifties — when she embraces her power as the most famous, the most influential woman in America, if not on the planet.
It occurs on “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” — one of two tunes that Swift wrote by herself with that wicked pen of hers.
“I was tame, I was gentle/’Til the circus life made me mean/Don’t you worry folks, we took out all her teeth/Who’s afraid of little old me?/Well you should be,” she sings in the rumbling revenge song that brings some menace to the melody.
And you can bet that Swift’s most recent exes — the 1975 frontman Matt Healy and, especially, British actor Joe Alwyn — have been quaking in their boots ever since the pop superstar announced “The Tortured Poets Department” after winning Best Pop Vocal Album for 2022’s “Midnights” at the Grammys in February.
The Danish King Frederik and Aussie-born Queen Mary touched down in the Queen’s home state of Tasmania for the first official time in over twenty years, with Queen Mary holding up a lobster as her husband shot a pic.

Warning: Spoilers ahead! Do not proceed unless you’ve watched the first episode of “The Madison” on Paramount+.
Even you can wake up looking like Cindy Crawford — if you have the time and, especially, the moula.

The 2026 Oscars have been placed on high alert following the FBI’s warning about a potential “surprise attack” from Iran.
I am supremely fed up with one of the silliest Oscar controversies ever. What an overblown, all-you-can-whine buffet for the bored.
