Is Taylor Swift mocking Christianity? | TTPD, Religious Imagery, and Reading Well

Taylor Swift's new album, The Tortured Poets Department, has been causing a stir due to its use of religious imagery and vocabulary. Is she mocking Christianity? Is she saying she's God? Or is there maybe something else going on here?

Join me and three other with joint cred as Swifties and theologians as we discuss ...

• the weird takes we've seen IRL and online
• the cracks in biblical interpretation that are illuminated by how people interpret Taylor's latest lyrics
• the religious images and vocabulary in 4 songs from TTPD
• what songs we think everyone should hear off the album

If you're looking for some help understanding the Christian images, Taylor's circumstances, and poetry (and what we learn about our theology in the process), this is the deep dive you've been looking for!
