Taylor Swift just dropped the ultimate teaser for her upcoming album: “The Tortured Poets Department”! Taylor’s diving deep into the abyss of feels and she’s taking us all along for the ride.
In case you missed it, the pop sensation, who’s basically become the queen of cryptic announcements, spilled the beans about her latest masterpiece while casually snagging awards at the Grammys. Talk about multitasking! Now, not only do we know the album’s name, but we’ve also got the juicy deets on all 17 tracks. Can we get a drumroll, please?
Set your calendars for April 19th, because that’s the day Taylor’s unleashing her lyrical genius upon the world. And why April 19th, you ask? Well, the conspiracy theorists are already on the case, but for now, let’s just revel in the anticipation.
Oh, and did we mention she’s roped in some A-listers for this musical extravaganza? Post Malone and Florence + the Machine are hopping aboard the Swift train, bringing their own unique vibes to the mix. Get ready for some serious ear candy!
Now, let’s talk album art. Taylor’s got a knack for sending messages through her visuals, and this time it’s no different. The back cover artwork reads, “I love you, it’s ruining my life.” Classic Taylor, am I right?
