Less than a week away from the release of The Tortured Poets Department, Nora and Nathan talk through some of the burning questions they have about this album. They talk about the five “stages of grief” playlists Taylor Swift released on Apple Music (1:00), what it means that this is most likely a breakup album about Joe Alwyn (13:18), and how this album might sound given that Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner are her main collaborators on it (27:54).
