Taylor Swift broke the internet once again when she announced the release of her new album at the 2024 Grammy Awards.
Titled “The Tortured Poets Department,” Swift began to tease the album with pop-ups and posts.
Swifties rejoice as the album has finally released with a surprise 15-track expansion of the album, dubbed The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology.
“I’d written so much tortured poetry in the past 2 years and wanted to share it all with you,” she wrote on social media.
The press release states:
The Tortured Poets Department. An anthology of new works that reflect events, opinions and sentiments from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time – one that was both sensational and sorrowful in equal measure. This period of the author’s life is now over, the chapter closed and boarded up. There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed. And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self-inflicted. This writer is of the firm belief that our tears become holy in the form of ink on a page. Once we have spoken our saddest story, we can be free of it.
And then all that’s left behind is the tortured poetry.
Fans can purchase the album in vinyl, CD and cassette form.
Songwriters and collaborations include: Aaron Dessner, Florence Welch, and Post Malone in addition to her longtime music partner: Jack Antonoff.
