Breaking down everything we know about Taylor Swift’s album ‘Tortured Poets Department’
There are 17 tracks on what appears to be a break-up album. Post Malone and Florence and The Machine are two contributors. The titles are brutal. Fans speculate the album is about Swift’s six year relationship to English actor Joe Alwyn. Both stars kept the relationship out of the public eye. The back of the album reads, “I love you, it’s ruining me” which may serve as a dagger-to-the-chest harbinger.
Taylor Swift loves numerology, especially when it comes to the number 13. On Feb. 4, the singer won her 13th career Grammy for pop vocal album.
“I want to say thank you to the fans,” Swift said in her acceptance speech, “by telling you a secret that I’ve been keeping from you for the past two years, which is that my brand-new album comes out April 19.”
During night one of her concert in Tokyo, Swift said she intended to announce the album in Japan but switched to the Grammys.
“I had this plan in my head and I told my friends, I told Jack, but I hadn’t really told many other people,” she said. “I thought, ‘OK, so if I’m lucky enough to win one thing tonight, I’m just going to do it. I’m just going to announce my new album.'”
