Tortured Poets Department - Maddie's Version
I wanted to plan a creative and collaborative shoot based on the Tortured Poets Department album by Taylor Swift since it came out. I've been dreaming of different shots based on specific lyrics and how I would bring them to life. The shoot finally came together and turned out better than I ever imagined.

You left your typewriter at my apartment
Straight from the tortured poets department
Who else decodes you?
And all at once, the ink bleeds
A con man sells a fool a get-love-quick scheme
But I felt a hole like this
Never before, and ever since
You look like Clara Bow in this light Remarkable
All your life, did you know
You’d be picked like a rose?
Beauty is a beast that roars
Down on all fours
Demanding "more"
Wise men once read fake news
And they believed it
A greater woman has faith
But even statues crumble if they're made to wait
I'm so afraid I sealed my fate
No sign of soulmates
Cross your thoughtless heart
Only liquor anoints you
She's the albatross
She is here to destroy you
Wise men once said
"Wild winds are death to the candle"
A rose by any other name is a scandal
If long suffering propriety
Is what they want from me
They don't know how you've haunted me
So stunningly
You swore that you loved me but where were the clues?
I died on the altar waiting for the proof
We were blind to unforeseen circumstances We learn the right steps to different dances
And fell victim to interlopers' glances
Lost the game of chance, what are the chances?
