In a surprising announcement at the Grammy Awards, Taylor Swift revealed that she has a brand new album on the way, ending a two-year secret. The album, titled 'The Tortured Poets Department,' is set to be released on April 19.
Swift made the revelation while accepting the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album. She took the opportunity to share her exciting news with the audience, stating, 'My brand new album comes out April 19. It’s called the Tortured Poets Department. I’m going to go and post the cover right now backstage.'
True to her word, Swift promptly posted the album cover on her Instagram. The black-and-white image shows her reclining on pillows, with her face partially obscured and her legs cut off, creating a mysterious and intriguing vibe. Alongside the image, she captioned, 'All’s fair in love and poetry...'
Earlier in the evening, Swift had caused speculation among fans when her website appeared to go down. Many speculated that she was preparing to release a new version of her previous album, 'Reputation,' as 'Reputation (Taylor's Version).' However, it turned out to be a misdirect, as cryptic clues on the website indicated a different direction.
Without further delay, Swift's website is now back up and running, completely focused on her upcoming album. Fans can find options for preordering the album and purchasing merchandise related to 'The Tortured Poets Department.'
Despite her busy schedule, Swift is not slowing down. She is set to embark on her Eras tour this week, starting with four nights of performances in Tokyo. Afterward, she plans to return to the United States, just in time to support her boyfriend Travis Kelce, who will be playing in the Super Bowl later in the week.
With Taylor Swift's surprise announcement, fans are eagerly anticipating the release of 'The Tortured Poets Department.' Swift has kept the details of her new album under wraps, but if her previous work is any indication, fans can expect a captivating and introspective musical journey.
