If The Tortured Poets Department includes bonus tracks which are released within 48 hours of the album, those count.
If it is unclear whether a word or phrase appears in a song, and there are no official lyrics, I will use genius.com as a source.
Plurals and other inflected forms will count as the same, unless specified in the answer. Clarifications to answers may be added in brackets. In general, I won't be a grammar stickler. If whether something constitutes an inflected form is ambiguous, I will use Merriam-Webster as a source.
For the swear words, they must be said fully to count.
Sorry, you can’t add words anymore because we’re at the answer limit! However, you can now add them to @Ziddletwix‘s extension market.

3.00@Conflux Did you listen to the explicit version? She uses fuck about a dozen times just in this song: https://genius.com/Taylor-swift-down-bad-lyrics
@TimothyJohnson5c16 i didn't bet on that one bc i was confused by the framing. i'm assuming conflux interpreted as "the word is censored in the song". i wasn't sure if it was that or just "a swear word that would sometimes be censored but isn't"
@TimothyJohnson5c16 Yeah, I thought it meant she censored it in the song. But I’ll defer to Joshua since he added the option.
@TimothyJohnson5c16 yeah, I added this in response to an earlier comment thread where there was debate on if "shit" would count even if it was censored in the song.
@Joshua ok so it should probably be bet down, don't think they censored anything in the explicit version. won't touch this one myself bc seems like there was sufficient confusion, could always N/A
@Ziddletwix Hmmm I think he did, something major have gotten mixed up. I'll re-open and not trade myself
@Joshua @Conflux updated that linked google doc with the full 31 songs (plus hopefully cleaned up the extraneous stuff, hope i caught it all), & bet based on what I've found. obviously certainly have made a mistake (plus the genius lyrics sometimes get it wrong), & can't necessarily resolve the NOs until we're certain there won't be any more bonus tracks (I bet towards 5% since I don't think there will be, but I was very wrong about the 2nd album lol).
i can quote some of the YESes i found to save time
@Ziddletwix Here are some YES-es.
Remember
> In the shower, and remember how my rain-soaked body
Walk
> And so I watch as you walk Into some bar called The Black Dog
Damn
> From smokin' your jokes all damn night
Anymore
> But the story isn't mine anymore
Eras
> Bygones will be bygone, eras fadin' into grey (Fading into grey)
Valley
> I hate it here so I will go to lunar valleys in my mind
Window
> I look in people's windows Transfixed by rose golden glows
Lake
> Central Park Lake in tiny rowboats
Standing
> Standin' at the bar like something's funny, bubbly
@Ziddletwix for NOs can certainly check yourself, but it's easy to miss something so i'd also encourage people to look for & flag any YES-es that you find (& if no one's flagged anything after a few days, it's probably safe to resolve NO)
@Ziddletwix Yeah. I “”reallocated my subsidy as bounty for people to tell me what the answers (probably) were””
@Ziddletwix Also I can’t resolve anything NO until 48h after the album in case there are more bonus tracks.
@Conflux if it'll save you any time for resolution, i'm putting the lyrics from the album manually into a big google doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1c_grQMR-ku9uah-1SlKlkYHYozNBZ2P8UFwxvxivKvw/edit?usp=sharing for easy control-f-ing. (i'm copying directly so there's some extra ad stuff in there to watch for). the lyrics for all the bonuses aren't up yet but will add soon.
(the stuff i've bet up before the market closed should all have confirmed lines, but if it'd help happy to start leaving comments quoting all the relevant lines. confirming the NOs is harder, didn't have all the bonus tracks before so it's possible to miss something there)
@Ziddletwix Was so confused seeing every song contain the lyrics “get taylor swift tickets as low as $288 you may also like fortnite” in every song
@Conflux Ooh thanks will fix. Yeah I copied this down from genius a few min after release, so the lyrics were still being transcribed (plus no bonus tracks). So should be enough for a quick check of the YES but not reliable for NOs yet (I’ll need to update for my own market once bonus tracks up as well)
@Ziddletwix also "should've tucked" should be "shit-talked"
I've been appreciating your transcription though!
