Los Angeles, CA – Taylor Swift fans, known as Swifties, are eagerly anticipating the release of her latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” Swift has been teasing fans with social media posts and hints about the album, building anticipation for its release this Friday.
“The Tortured Poets Department” was announced by Swift after winning her 14th Grammy award in February. Since then, she has unveiled four variants of the album during her recent performances on The Eras Tour, each featuring a unique bonus track. Additionally, Swift announced the release of the first music video for the album on the same day it drops.
In an effort to promote the new album further, Swift has collaborated with Apple Music to curate playlists based on the “stages of heartbreak.” Spotify is also joining in the promotion by hosting an in-person library pop-up event in Los Angeles in celebration of the album’s release.
Swift announced that the first single from the album, a song called “Fortnight” featuring Post Malone, will be released along with a music video. The album itself consists of 16 brand-new songs and four bonus tracks, each exclusive to different variant editions of the album.
Fans have been warned to avoid listening to any alleged leaks of the album, as unconfirmed reports have circulated online. X has even taken measures to ban searches related to a suspected leak of “The Tortured Poets Department,” urging fans to wait for the official release.
As Swift prepares for the release of her new album, fans can anticipate streaming the standard songs on Spotify and Apple Music starting at 12 a.m. ET on the release date. However, the timing for streaming the bonus tracks remains uncertain, as they are currently only available in CD and vinyl formats.
Swift’s approach to releasing bonus tracks has created excitement among fans, with each variant edition of the album featuring a different bonus song. Preorders for these editions are available through various retailers, including Target.
In conclusion, with Swift’s album release looming, fans are eager to experience the new music she has created. The anticipation and excitement surrounding “The Tortured Poets Department” demonstrate the loyal following and enthusiasm of Swifties for her work.
