'The Tortured Poets Department' is for the tortured former English majors. After Taylor Swift announced a bonus track entitled 'The Albatross' accompanying her highly anticipated 11th studio album, the theorizing was, well, swift. An albatross is a seabird with a deep history as a literary metaphor, with roots in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
' The third song from 'Folklore' chronicles the life of Rebekah Harkness, an eccentric American socialite who owned a Rhode Island seafront house that Taylor Swift bought in 2013. 'The Black Dog' Swift's 'fourth and final' 'Tortured Poets Department' bonus track is 'The Black Dog,' a loaded title that predictably stirred plenty of theories, ranging from it as a metaphor for depression to a reference to a beloved 'Harry Potter' character.
