As the press took its time to pen their appreciation, with media outlets diligently tracking every update, Swift recently reciprocated by expressing gratitude to each reviewer.

Taylor Swift has long been celebrated for her affable nature. While she has consistently charmed fans with her magnetic presence and approachability, this time she went above and beyond, personally tailoring messages aligned with the lyrics of 'The Tortured Poets Department' for each reviewer who covered the album. Taking to her social media platform, the pop icon expressed appreciation to The Times' reviewer, captioning her post with lyrics like "These chemicals hit me like whiiiiite wiiiiine" accompanied by white heart emojis.

Acknowledging Rolling Stone's review, she remarked, "And that’s the closest I’ve come to my heart exploding." Swift didn't stop there; she continued to weave her album's lyrics into messages of gratitude for reviewers from The Independent and i Newspaper, citing lines such as "feel like laughing in the middle of practice" and "everyone we know understands why it’s meant to be."

Yet, after the album drop, this was not the only expression of gratitude that Swift took her time to make. She did the same for her collaborator for the lead single, Post Malone and the team who executed the music video.

After the release of 'The Tortured Poets Department' on April 19, Taylor Swift promptly circled back to express gratitude to her team and collaborator Post Malone, particularly for their work on ‘Fortnight,’ the track that famously featured her taking on the 'Fortnight' challenge. Taking to her social media platforms, the pop sensation reminisced about the time when the music video was merely a concept in her diary, expressing her initial desire to bring to life the vivid worlds she envisioned.

Reflecting on the video's creation, she found that every missing piece came together to form the "perfect visual representation" of the album, for which she credited the "tortured tragic hero," Post Malone. Swift highlighted Post Malone's impressive performance on set and also extended her appreciation to Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles, as well as the cinematography team led by Rodrigo Prieto. She further praised the contributions of the rest of the team heralding the project. Therefore, although Swift's individual acknowledgments for her team underscore her appreciation for their efforts, her personal expressions of gratitude to each reviewer exemplify her enduring status as a people person.
