The Poetry of Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift's new album The Tortured Poets Department is due out on April 19 in celebration of National Poetry Month! As a tribute, Scarlet Keys, a songwriting professor at Berklee College of Music who studies Swift's lyrical style, will take a look at how poetry informs the artist who is currently ruling the world. She will discuss how Swift uses literary devices as a songwriter and why she is considered to be a poet. She will also explore the difference between lyrics and poetry and the impact of metaphors and heightened language, as well as how Swift's personal life shapes her written work.
