Taylor Swift is the great influencer, the reigning pop superstar of our social media fixated times. The wittily titled Tortured Poets Department may be the apogee of her self-branded gossipy songcraft, a musical Roman à Clef so densely packed with references to her own torturous love affairs with other beautiful actors, pop stars and sportsmen that it is hard to decide whether you are listening to a song cycle or a catching up with a soap opera.
