《纽约客》评霉霉的新专辑：Taylor Swift’s Tortured Poetry

The artist’s new album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” has moments of tenderness. But it suffers from being too long and too familiar.

“Among the other clues Swift doled out were five exclusive playlists for Apple Music (sorry, Spotify!), comprising her own songs and organized according to the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. At first, I thought the playlists were just another bit of overwrought marketing, but the more I listened to “The Tortured Poets Department,” the more germane the concept felt. Anyone who has grieved knows that these categories are not a ladder you climb toward peace: it is possible, instead, to feel all of them at once, briefly or forever. Each stage is evident on “The Tortured Poets Department.” Sometimes they oppose one another: Swift is cocky and self-loathing, tough and vulnerable, totally fine and completely destroyed. She is free, but trapped. Dominant, powerless. She wants this, but she doesn’t. Those sorts of contradictions can be dizzying, but, in the end, they’re also the last things keeping her human. ”

p 8 is too difficult, I think for a long while and make this photo to make my logic clear
in the p9
thw author refuge his opinions in the p6. actually he wants to prove that simply viewing the emotion is insufficient to create sympathy
so he argues, you believe before we know the situation, we can easily sympathize with the grief. however, in fact, this kond of sympathy is imperfect. or actually it creates the curiosity.

i respect for adam smith. how logical the article is!

猫王女儿Lisa在金球奖两天后突然离世了，当时小悠在采访说"It feels so weirrd to be celebrate at a time of intense grief"，对于姐姐说的"I feel so protective of him"，他说还能感受到来自姐姐的保护，说：“无论她现在在哪里，我感觉我们都拥有一个强大的天使（Wherever she is right now, I feel like we all have a powerful angle ）。”
