Taylor Swift mentioned poets Patti Smith and Dylan Thomas in her ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ title track

Their connection, however, did seemingly inspire other songs on Swift’s TTPD, including “But Daddy I Love Him,” “Down Bad,” “I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can),” “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,” “Fresh Out the Slammer,” “Guilty as Sin?” and “Fortnight.”
