Taylor Swift started from being a country girl-next-door singer becoming a full-blown pop star in the span of 15 years. While her songs have generally spoken about her love, her interesting life, and all sorts of relatable stuff, it definitely got more mature as she aged.
As she released The Tortured Poets Department, Swifties seemed to be surprised by the amount of explicit songs she had released on her most recent album.
A Swiftie's post resurfaced on Reddit, where they illustrated the amount of profanities she had used on her albums since her debut,
Taylor Swift Songs' Profanity Tracker
Reddit user katlaube shared on the Taylor Swift subreddit a visual bar chart that she created to illustrate the number of profanities she had used in her discography.
Among the recurring profanities that Swift used in her songs were "d-mn," "g---mn," "hell," "b--ch," "s--t," "f--k," and "d--head."
Notably, both Fearless and Speak Now albums (original and re-releases) did not contain any of the listed profanities.
While the debut album contained "d-mn," the original Red album was tamer than its re-release where Swift released a 10-minute version of "All Too Well," which included some more profanities. Similarly, 1989 Reputation, and Lover, contained less than 10 profanities.
However, it was during her Folklore albums that Swifties were introduced to a much more explicit and profane Swift. Notably, Folklore included five explicit songs, while Evermore had six. In the chart, the former had ten listed profanities, while the latter had more than 10, even closing to 20.
Midnights is currently taking the cake for the most used profanities in one album, reaching almost 40 words. The album itself had six explicit songs, explaining the spike in profanities used.

Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department Not Kid-Friendly?
On Swift's newest album, The Tortured Poets Department, the 31-tracked anthology becomes her most explicit album yet as it contained 11 explicit songs.
Although it might take a long while to count how much profanities she used on the anthology album, Swiftie moms are voicing their concerns on social media, noting how the new album isn't kid-friendly - not just with the amount of curse words or profanity, but also with the mature themes that Swift has sang about.
"I'm OK with the curse words, but there's a lot of self-harm, violence, and death talk I'm not feeling comfy with at this second," a user said on Facebook, echoing another fan, "I'm going to sleep on it and give it a few more listens before I decide how I'm going to approach it with my 9 year old."
