Taylor Swift releases The Tortured Poets Department album today

Friday 19^th April 2024 – Today Taylor Swift released The Tortured Poets Department and announced the surprise release of the second instalment of the album, The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology on DSPs. LISTEN TO THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT HERE

“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.” – Taylor Swift

The 16-track The Tortured Poets Department is Swift’s eleventh studio album and features Florence & The Machine and Post Malone.

“Fortnight” (feat Post Malone) – the lead single release from The Tortured Poets Department – is available now. The accompanying music video will be released at 8pm EST today.

Two hours after the release of TTPD, Taylor announced The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology, which includes 15 additional songs. The surprise double album is available now to stream across all DSPs.

Immersing the listener in a cinematic sonic landscape painted by one of the greatest story tellers of our time, the beautifully crafted The Tortured Poets Department and The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology are reflective of an artist in their creative prime.
