Torturedpoets Stories

The title says it all

some journeys don't take you home-they take you everywhere else first. Summer Swift Kelce was never meant to be ordinary. The daughter of pop royalty and an NFL legend, she grew up with lullabies written just for her, sideline seats at every game, and parents who somehow made the whole world feel safe. She was always the bright one, the funny one, the one who made strangers smile in grocery store lines and danced barefoot in hotel hallways. She was everything. Then came the day the doctor didn't smile. The day "it's just fatigue" turned into "it's cancer." And then-"it's terminal." Just like that, time stopped. No more college plans. No more growing up. No more "someday." Just now. Just whatever time they have left. So her parents do the only thing that makes sense: They cancel the world and choose each other. From Kansas City to Tokyo, from the canals of Venice to the beaches of Bali, Taylor and Travis take their daughter on the adventure of a lifetime-because it might be her last. They trade stadiums and stages for street food and stargazing, laugh until they cry, cry until they laugh again, and chase every memory they can still make. At every stop, Summer writes a postcard. Some are sent. Some are saved. Some are secrets she can't tell anyone-not even them. Because there's something Summer isn't saying. And when the time comes, her parents will discover that even at the end, their daughter left behind a beginning. This is a story about love, loss, and the magic of stolen moments. Of letting go before you're ready. And of a girl who turned her goodbye into a masterpiece of memories.

Charlotte "Lottie" Swift-Kelce has everything the world says she should want. The daughter of pop icon Taylor Swift and NFL legend Travis Kelce, she's grown up in luxury, love, and limelight. Red carpets, stadiums, sold-out arenas-it's all she's ever known. She's been called "the industry's golden girl," even though she's never asked for it. Because behind the cameras and carefully filtered moments... Lottie has been keeping a secret. She writes songs. Real ones. The kind that don't rhyme on purpose. The kind that ache. When she finally finds the courage to show her mom the lyrics she's been hiding for years, she expects a quiet rejection. Instead, Taylor hands her a mic and invites her to open on tour. Suddenly, Lottie's living the dream she was too scared to admit she had-on the road, on stage, and almost believing she belongs. Until London. Until the text from the man she's never met-Joe Alwyn, her biological father. He wants to see her. But he never shows. And when Lottie gets back to Kansas City, everything starts to unravel. The truth comes out-a truth the entire family knew except her. A truth that changes everything about who she is, and who she thought she could be. Her friends start acting different. Her trust fractures. And the songs she once clung to for comfort? Now they just echo. But in the quiet that follows the storm, Lottie discovers that not all family is by blood, not all love is loud, and sometimes the people who stand by you aren't the ones with your last name-but the ones who see your scars and stay anyway. Because this isn't just her mom's story anymore. It's hers now. And she's going to tell it her way.

Bitter truth gets to suffer...

Moving day stirs up more than dust for Betty and her young daughter, Allison, when a forgotten box breaks open, revealing a worn scrapbook simply titled The Manuscript. As Allison peers inside, her curiosity grows, especially when she sees her mother's face in a faded Polaroid-with none other than Taylor Swift. Betty hadn't planned on diving into the memories locked away in that scrapbook, but Allison's excitement and questions pull her back in time. As they turn the pages together, each picture unearths a piece of Betty's past, one layered with long-buried dreams, hidden heartbreaks, and unanswered questions that still haunt her. Through the scrapbook, Betty shares tales of friendships that shaped her, loves that changed her, and choices that led her to this very moment. But as the past unfurls, Betty realizes that some memories don't just offer closure-they also reopen wounds she thought had healed. Enjoy this touching Novella about how looking backwards is often the only way to move forward.

Dear reader, The fates of Kitty and Betty intertwine across the eras in this hauntingly tragic dual timeline love story, told within 13 chapters, inspired by the lyrical lore and genius of Taylor Swift. When actress Kitty's quick rise to fame in 1960's Hollywood leads to her dream life, she becomes tormented by her mental illness while haunted by her past. Decades later, an ambitious but tortured writer Betty is living in London when she receives a wedding invitation from her old friend, Peter. Will Betty risk ruining the friendship and speak now to re-write her story? Or is she destined to share the fate of Ophelia? The Fate of Ophelia echoes Taylor's themes and imagery of love, loss, fame and betrayal. Every song has a story. Every story has its karma...

""It started with imagery. Visuals that popped into my mind and piqued my curiosity. Stars drawn around scars. A cardigan that still bears the scent of loss twenty years later. Battleships sinking into the ocean, down, down, down. The tree swing in the woods of my childhood. Hushed tones of "let's run away" and never doing it. The sun drenched month of August, sipped away like a bottle of wine. A mirrored disco ball hovering above a dance floor. A whiskey bottle beckoning. Hands held through plastic. A single thread that, for better or for worse, ties you to your fate." Taylor Swift wrote folklore in 2020, an album she describes as twisting and turning reality and fantasy, blurred. In 2021, the album in my own mind began to cohere into one, linear, complex story. Welcome to folklore, the novel. Invisible strings can tie together, bind a wind, or make a puppet of us all. Betty, Jame, Inez, and Bill, all more deeply loveable and more deeply flawed than first glance. Welcome to their folklore.

Lyrics

At 16, Emery Kelce is living her dream-stepping into the spotlight with a voice that echoes her mother's legacy and a heart full of songs she's written in secret for years. As the daughter of global icon Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce, Emery is about to make her biggest debut yet: opening for her mom's final world tour. But just as the tour begins and Emery's star is rising, everything comes crashing down. She's diagnosed with leukemia. Despite the diagnosis, Emery refuses to stop. The stage becomes her sanctuary, and the music becomes her fight. Supported by her parents, her best friend Sterling, and a worldwide community of fans, she continues to perform, record, and write even as her body weakens. When Emery's battle comes to an end, Taylor and Travis are left shattered-trying to find a way forward without their daughter. But when Taylor and Sterling discover a folder of unfinished songs on Emery's laptop, they make a promise: her voice will never be silenced. Her story isn't over. Together, they release the music Emery left behind-and find that, even in death, she's still here.
