Stevie Nicks Writes Opening Poem About Heartbreak for Taylor Swift’s Tortured Poets Department: 'For T and Me'

Taylor Swift dropped her emotional new album 'Tortured Poets Department' — which details her longing, heartbreak and fury — on April 19.

While the Fleetwood Mac singer-songwriter doesn't provide vocals on The Tortured Poets Department, Nicks wrote a poem on Aug. 13, 2023 for Swift, 34, that's featured as the written prologue on the pop superstar's new album. Swift's latest body of work reflects many of the themes seen in Nicks' poem, including being left suddenly by a romantic prospect who "didn't say goodbye." Nicks also lauded her "determination" and "childlike nature" at the time, saying that "this girl writes the songs that make the whole world sing, like Neil Diamond or Elton John."
