A review criticising Taylor Swift’s new album has inspired the ire of the American superstar’s fans.

The Tortured Poets Department, the latest hugely popular release from Taylor which dropped on Friday, was slammed in a news.com.au piece titled: ‘Taylor Swift’s new album shows one thing: She could use a break’.

‘Faced with 16-odd songs about her boyfriends and breakups, many listeners might be yearning for a return to the days of folklore and evermore, when Swift created fictional stories to illuminate her songwriting’ music critic Nick Bond writes.

The review continues: ‘”I know I’m just repeating myself,” Swift sings on My Boy Breaks His Favourite Toys. Listening to The Tortured Poets Department in full, one can’t help but think that’s starting to become a problem’.

Many fans of the pop star were less than impressed with the verdict, with several airing their grievances on social media.

‘500K #TSTTPD posts on Twittter right now and I’m struggling to find a negative one… so probably a few people disagree with your review’ another said.

‘Let me check if Taylor Swift cares around your opinion or the men having a cry on this feed… no, she’s good just releasing a secret second album’ one more wrote.

Others however agreed with the lukewarm review.

‘Sorry. I love her but I didn’t love this one. It might grow on me. I’m sure I won’t have choice it’s all we will hear’ said one person online.

During the early hours of Friday morning, Swift dropped her highly anticipated new album, The Tortured Poets Department, alongside an extended double release The Anthology comprising of 31 tracks

‘So basically it’s just like all her other stuff she’s done about past breakups lol. Sounds Boring’ another commented.

During the early hours of Friday morning, Swift dropped her highly anticipated new album, The Tortured Poets Department, alongside an extended double release The Anthology comprising of 31 tracks, which are filled to the brim with Easter eggs and references to her ex-boyfriends, past feuds and latest romance.

It is set to become the second album by a female artist opening with over 2 million units in its first week in the United States.

On her 11th studio album, the singer threw in brutal digs at Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy — lifting a lid on what really went down during their romances, breakups, and everything in between.
