IN A DEPARTMENT OF HER OWN
If you’re wondering why Taylor Swift is being featured as our contents-page VIP this week, we welcome you back from your vacation under a rock. Tay’s new Republic set, THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT, is roiling the marketplace, the socials and the rest of the pop-cultural landscape on its way to what multiple prognosticators say could be a 2m+ chart debut.

But it seems she’s just getting started.
