Patti Smith Thanks Taylor Swift for Her ‘Tortured Poets Department’ Lyric: “I Was Moved”

Patti Smith posted a picture and thanked Taylor Swift for mentioning her alongside poet Dylan Thomas. In the chorus of her song “The Tortured Poets Department,” Taylor sings, “I laughed in your face and said / ‘You’re not Dylan Thomas, I’m not Patti Smith / This ain’t the Chelsea Hotel / We’re modern idiots.’”

Stevie Nicks Wrote a Poem for The Tortured Poets Department
Physical copies of the album feature a poem by the Stevie Nicks with a handwritten date (Sept. 13, 8:50 p.m.) and dedication: “For T - and me…”

It reads:

Sept. 13, 8:50 p.m.
A poem by Stevie Nicks
He was in love with her
Or at least she thought so
She was broken hearted
Maybe he was too
Neither of them knew.
She was way too hot to handle
He was way too high to try
He couldn’t even see her
He wouldn’t open his eyes
She was on her way to the stars
He didn’t say goodbye
She looked back from her future
And shed a few tears
He looked into his past
And actually felt fear.
For both of them
The answers - would never be
Everclear
Don’t ask questions now
Do that later
She brings joy
He brings Shakespeare
It’s almost a tragedy
Says she
Don’t endanger me
Don’t endanger me.
He really can’t answer her
He’s afraid of her
He’s hiding from her
And he knows - that he’s
hurting her
She tells the truth
She writes about it
She’s an informer
He’s an x-lover
There’s nothing there for her
She’s already gone
There’s nothing that can stop her
She was just flying
Thru the clouds
Where he saw her …
She was just making her way -
to the stars -
When he lost her …
For T and me…
