Taylor Swift fans, get ready to immerse yourself in the deep and emotional world of her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, which finally dropped on Friday, April 19. The anticipation for this album has been building up since Swift initially announced it at the 2024 Grammys, revealing the exciting news during her acceptance speech for best pop vocal for her 2022 record, Midnights. Swift shared, “This is my 13th Grammy – which is my lucky number, I don’t know if I’ve ever told you that. I want to say thank you to the fans by telling you a secret that I’ve been keeping from you for the last two years which is that my brand new album comes out April 19.”
The talented singer-songwriter had previously unveiled the tracklist for the album, along with three variants of the 16-track album that each featured a different bonus track: “The Manuscript,” “The Bolter,” and “The Albatross.” Swift also surprised fans with the announcement of editions featuring bonus tracks at tour dates in Melbourne and Sydney, Australia. The album boasts major collaborations with Post Malone on the lead single, “Fortnight,” and Florence + The Machine on track eight, “Florida!!!”
The Tortured Poets Department marks Swift’s return with entirely new material since the release of Midnights in October 2022, which scooped up awards for album of the year and best pop vocal album at the 2024 Grammys. In addition to her new album, Swift has been keeping busy with the (Taylor’s Version) re-recordings of Speak Now and 1989 in 2023, all while thrilling fans with her career-spanning Eras Tour.
