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.
