Crossword Puzzle Theme Synopsis

Each theme answer contains a TORTURED (that is, anagrammed) version of the word POETS: LET'S STEP OUTSIDE, IF ALL GOES TO PLAN, SPOILER-FREE POST, and WE CAN'T BE STOPPED.

This is a hidden anagram-themed puzzle based on the word POETS. Who am I kidding? The theme of this puzzle is actually Taylor Swift! Tribute puzzles sometimes get a bad rap. I don't mind them, but some folks consider them boring. This puzzle is a master class on how to do a tribute puzzle well. The title of Taylor Swift's most recent album, THE TORTURED POETS SOCIETY, lends itself to a hidden anagram theme. All four of the theme answers are enjoyable, grid-spanning phrases. Then we have the bonus content of clues that incorporate lyrics from the album, the words ICON and IDOL, and even the names of Taylor Swift's PETs. Well done! Thank you, Amanda, for this excellent puzzle.
