It’s a good day for the Swifties! Taylor Swift took to her social media platforms on Friday morning (April 19) to share new special details about her highly anticipated The Tortured Poets Department (TTPD) album, which has just been released.

“It’s a 2 am surprise: The Tortured Poets Department is a secret DOUBLE album,” she wrote.

Highlights
  • Taylor Swift surprised fans with a secret double album for The Tortured Poets Department, released today.
  • Taylor added 15 extra songs, bringing the total to 31 new tracks.
  • TTPD is Taylor’s longest album ever, edging out of Red (Taylor’s Version) by one song.

The 34-year-old explained that as a result of writing “so much tortured poetry” in the past two years, prompting her to want to share her craft with her fans, she made the decision to double the fun.

    “Here’s the second installment of TTPD: The Anthology. 15 extra songs,” the songstress wrote. “And now the story isn’t mine anymore… it’s all yours.”

    Swifties will thus be pleased to hear that starting from today, they can listen to a total of 31 new tracks (for those who buy the albums) fresh off the studio.

    Taylor revealed the title of TTPD during the 2024 Grammys last month, taking to the stage to accept the award for Best Pop Vocal Album (Midnights), marking her 13th Grammy win (her lucky number), Rolling Stone reported.

    At the time of accepting her award, the music writer said: “I want to say thank you to the members of the Recording Academy for voting this way.

    “But I know that the way that the Recording Academy voted is a direct reflection of the passion of the fans.”

    “And now the story isn’t mine anymore… it’s all yours,” Taylor wrote on Friday (April 19)

    “So I want to say thank you to the fans by telling you a secret that I’ve been keeping from you for the last two years, which is that my brand new album comes out on April 19.

    “It’s called The Torture Poets Department.

    “I’m gonna go and post the cover. Right now, backstage. Thank you.”

    Describing her album two hours before announcing that TTPD would have additional surprise tracks today, Taylor wrote on social media: “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.”

    As a visual editor in the News team, I look for the most interesting pictures and comments to make each post interesting and informative through images, so that you aren't reading only blocks of text. I joined Bored Panda not that long ago, but in this short amount of time I have covered a wide range of topics: from true crime to Taylor Swift memes (my search history is very questionable because of that).In my freetime, I enjoy spending time at the gym, gaming, binging Great British Bake Off and adding yet another tattoo artist that I would love to get a tattoo from to my pinterest board.
