Taylor Swift's latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, came out last week to mixed notices. Some say that her year of ruling the world is officially over, and the tides are once again turning on the pop princess. Others are thrilled they're getting 40 songs from their favorite artist and don't care what the haters say. Whatever you think about this new album, it's spawned at least one Twitter meme we can't get enough of. Here's an excerpt from the song 'Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?' that has inspired some epic memeage.

"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
So all you kids can sneak into my house with all the cobwebs
I'm always drunk on my own tears, isn't that what they all say?"

The line "You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me" is so hilarious out of context (and maybe even in it); it's no wonder Twitter has memed the heck out of it.
