Songwriting Teacher Reacts: Taylor Swift - The Prophecy

Today I’m analyzing “The Prophecy” by Taylor Swift from The Tortured Poets Department, focusing on its shifting tonal center, Dorian color, and how melodic collapse mirrors emotional exhaustion. We look at why the second pre-chorus is cut, how dense internal rhymes elevate the lyrics, and how the outro recombines every idea to leave the song deliberately unresolved.
