We are just one week away from the release of the eleventh studio album of American singer, Taylor Swift.
The album is titled ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ and is scheduled for release on Friday, April 19, 2024.
Swift herself has created a trail of breadcrumbs, so there’s already a tonne of material for discussion and speculation, even generating analyses of songs that no one has heard yet.
Recall that the singer made the announcement of the existence and the release date of the follow-up album to Midnights onstage, while giving her acceptance speech after receiving her Grammy Awards 2024 for best pop vocal album.
“I want to say thank you to the fans by telling you a secret I’ve been keeping from you for the last two years which is that my brand-new album comes out April 19. It’s called ‘The Tortured Poets Department’”.
