Taylor Swift is celebrating the worldwide success of her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, by reacting to critic reviews. On Sunday, the Karma hitmaker took to her Instagram stories to share fitting lyrics from her 11th studio album for some of the positive reviews by major US and UK tabloids. This comes amid a magazine refraining from adding a byline for a negative review of TTPD due to violent threats in past.

Author's byline removed from negative review of TTPD

The Fortnight singer shared her reactions as Paste Magazine recently announced the removal of the author's byline from a negative review of TTPD to avoid “threats of violence.”

“Editor’s Note: There is no byline on this review because, in 2019, when Paste reviewed ‘Lover,’ the writer was sent threats of violence from readers who disagreed with the work. We care more about the safety of our staff than a name attached to an article,” the magazine shared on X, formerly Twitter.
