A NEW ERA. We're celebrating the release of Taylor Swift's 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, with a deep dive into the new release and a look back at her discography. Much has been made of Taylor Swift's work ethic since she entered the music business as a teenager. And while she's received a mountain of credit for her record-breaking success, she still deserves more. A close examination of the singer-songwriter's discography - not only the hit singles and chart-topping albums, but also her often-overlooked dedication to everything behind the scenes - will convince even the most fervent detractors that her ascent to the top was never just a case of good luck.
