Taylor Swift Drops , âThe Tortured Poets Departmentâ , As Surprise Double Album.
Swift's new music dropped early on April 19, but fans got way more than they were expecting, Deadline reports. .
Itâs a 2am surprise:
The Tortured Poets Department
is a secret DOUBLE album, Taylor Swift, via Instagram.
Iâd written so much tortured poetry in
the past 2 years and wanted to share
it all with you, so hereâs the second
instalment of TTPD: The Anthology.
15 extra songs. And now the story
isnât mine anymore⊠itâs all yours, Taylor Swift, via Instagram.
In a previous post, Swift described her new music as, , âAn anthology of new works that reflect
events, opinions and sentiments from a fleeting
and fatalistic moment in time â one that was both sensational and sorrowful in equal measure.â.
This period of the authorâs life is
now over, the chapter closed and
boarded up. There is nothing to
avenge, no scores to settle
once wounds have healed. , Taylor Swift, via Instagram.
And upon further reflection,
a good number of them
turned out to be self-inflicted. , Taylor Swift, via Instagram.
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 thatâs left
behind is the tortured poetry, Taylor Swift, via Instagram.
Fans have been speculating about who two particular tracks â 'The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived' and "Guilty as Sin?' â are about. .
Matt Healy and Joe Alwyn
are names that have come up.

Meanwhile, music journalists' reviews have been mixed when it comes to the double album drop.
Taylor Swift's new album,
'The Tortured Poets Department,' is
a boldly candid breakup album, with
some of her most quotable lyrics ever, Chris Willman, senior music writer
and chief music critic at 'Variety'.
The intrigue in the lyrics is somewhat
predicated on gossip and I found that
after three or four listens to this album,
or at least the first half, once youâve
drained the fact out of it, I wasnât quite
sure what the replay factor would be, Laura Snape, deputy music editor at 'The Guardian,' via Deadline
