Taylor Swift reveals ‘secret’ double album in ‘2am surprise’

In an unexpected early morning reveal, Taylor Swift took to social media to announce a major addition to her latest work, stating, “It’s a 2am surprise: The Tortured Poets Department is a secret DOUBLE album.

I’d written so much tortured poetry in the past 2 years and wanted to share it all with you, so here’s the second instalment of TTPD: The Anthology. 15 extra songs. And now the story isn’t mine anymore… it’s all yours.” This announcement came at 2am, corresponding to 7am UK time.

Taylor Swift’s 11th studio album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” is a grand collection with 31 songs, spanning over two hours. She first hinted at this record in February, during her Grammy victory for “Midnights,” and shared that it includes collaborations with Post Malone and Florence + The Machine on tracks “Fortnight” and “Florida!!!,” respectively.

Swift has been travelling the world with her Eras tour.

Swift is believed to have included songs about her break-ups with British actor Joe Alwyn and The 1975 star Matty Healy in the album, while a song full of American football references is thought to be inspired by her latest romance with NFL star Travis Kelce.

“The Alchemy,” track 15, hints at Taylor Swift’s romance with NFL’s Travis Kelce, with football-themed lyrics. Their relationship, highlighted by a Super Bowl kiss, is now part of her album narrative.

Kelce praised the album as “unbelievable.” “So Long, London,” the fifth track, traditionally significant in Swift’s albums, is speculated to reveal details about her breakup with actor Joe Alwyn.
