Taylor Swift’s latest album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department’, has a few notable guest contributors, including actress Emma Stone, who is credited for adding “oddities” to the track ‘Florida!!!’. The album, initially thought to be a standard LP, is actually a double album with an additional 15 tracks. It features other guests such as Florence Welch, and Post Malone on lead single ‘Fortnight’. Stone and Swift have been friends for years, with the actress having attended multiple shows on her ‘Eras’ tour, and jokingly criticized her at a Golden Globes ceremony.
Other names mentioned on the album include musicians Charlie Puth, The Blue Nile, Lucy Dacus, Patti Smith, and Dylan Thomas. Fans are speculating that the album’s lyrics may be addressing Swift’s brief romantic relationship with The 1975’s Matty Healy. In its coverage, ‘NME’ gave the album a mixed three-star review, noting that while Swift has proven herself as a gifted songwriter in the past, this latest offering flounders under the weight of responding to critics and presenting herself as a superstar.
While Stone’s precise contribution to ‘Florida!!!’ is not known, fans are likely intrigued by the album’s many collaborations and references to other artists. Its release has been a major event in the music world, and it will be interesting to see how it is received by Swift’s sizeable fanbase in the weeks and months to come
