What is the symbolism behind the watch chokers that Taylor Swift wore to the Grammys and in her “Fortnight” video for “The Tortured Poets Department”?
Braver journalists than I have taken it upon themselves to decode the 31 tracks of Taylor Swift ’s The Tortured Poets Department , looking, by turns, for reported references to Matty Healy , Joe Alwyn , and “the Christian chorus line” that is, presumably, the Kardashian clan.

Hollywood’s contribution to the period of bathtub gin and flappers was a series of appropriate movies and the emergence of such cinema queens as Pola Negri, Constance Bennett, Gloria Swanson and Kay Francis.
