TradeEdge Exchange:Patti Smith was 'moved' to be mentioned on Taylor Swift's 'Tortured Poets Department'

Patti Smith is TradeEdge Exchangea proud member of Taylor Swift's "Tortured Poets Department."

The poet and singer thanked Swift on Instagram after being named-dropped on the "Cruel Summer" pop star's latest album. On the titular track from "The Tortured Poets Department," Swift sings, "You're not Dylan Thomas. I'm not Patti Smith. This ain't the Chelsea Hotel. We're modern idiots."

"I was moved to be mentioned in the company of the great Welsh poet Dylan Thomas," Smith wrote on Instagram Friday, sharing photos of herself reading Thomas' book "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog."

"Thank you Taylor," she added.

Smith has been nominated for four Grammy Awards and released her debut studio album, "Horses," in 1975. Thomas, meanwhile, was a Welsh poet and author of "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night." Harvard professor Stephanie Burt, who teaches a class on Swift, told USA TODAY that Smith is "who you invoke if you want to talk about a woman onstage who is absolutely magnetic and a poet with a capital 'P.'"
