A Taylor Swift lyric from TTPD's Who's Afraid of Little Old Me has become an instant meme
With Taylor Swift’s new album dropping last week to huge streaming numbers, The Tortured Poets Department has been a major topic of conversation. And naturally, we’ve gotten a meme out of it as fans have taken a line from “Who’s Afraid Of Little Old Me?” and run with it.

In the song, Swift sings, “… I wanna snarl and show you just how disturbed this has made me, you wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me.” The lyric — and song as a whole — references the public’s opinion of the pop star and the challenges of growing up under the microscope of celebrity.
Fans have gotten creative, posting the “asylums” that raised them.
