Taylor Swift's Latest Album Review Published Anonymously Amid Threats

Paste Magazine opts for no byline on 'The Tortured Poets Department' review due to safety concerns after previous threats to staff.

Paste Magazine published a scathing review of Taylor Swift's album 'The Tortured Poets Department' without a byline to protect the reviewer from potential threats.
The decision follows incidents from 2019 where the reviewer of Swift's 'Lover' album received threats of violence.
The review, critical of Swift's lyricism, stands as the only negative critique among otherwise positive feedback from major outlets.
Despite the harsh review, the album has achieved significant success, breaking Spotify records with over 300 million streams in a single day.
Fans and critics alike have expressed mixed reactions online, with some defending the magazine's precautionary measures.
