The Tortured Poets Department is here — and the internet is already down bad for it!
Taylor Swift’s highly anticipated album finally dropped on Friday. With 31 new tracks (!!!), fans have so much to discuss and analyze, especially since she didn’t hold back with her feelings on this project. People have already figured out she gushed about current boyfriend Travis Kelce a few times on TTPD. We also got a scathing takedown of her longtime arch-nemesis Kim Kardashian on the album, in which Taylor compared her to a high school bully! Ouch!

But the biggest surprise of all? It’s not the Charlie Puth reference! LOLz! It’s the fact the album isn’t all that much about the end of her six-year relationship with Joe Alwyn after all! Instead, a lot of it covers her month-or-so fling with Matty Healy! Damn. Talk about brutal — for both of them! Naturally, between the heartbreaking lyrics and references to some big names in Hollywood, everyone’s freaking out!
And they didn’t hesitate to share all of their thoughts — and memes — about the album so far on the internet! Don’t worry, we compiled some of the best reactions, so you don’t have to go digging around yourself! Ch-ch-check them out (below):

The only thing more mortifying than your ex writing a breakup album about you is your ex writing a breakup album that actually isn’t even about you. RIP Joe Alwyn, a man who wasn’t even eulogized at his own funeral.

“omg poor travis how does he feel about the album being about matty?” guys travis is perfectly fine she just gave him a chinese finger trap to play with and it’ll be a minute before he works out how to get out of it
