Taylor Swift’s official store is down AGAIN. She is expected to announce another variant of ‘The Tortured Poets Department’.


Taylor Swift is only cryptic and Machiavellian because she cares.

Practicing what she preaches, the “Mastermind” singer threw everyone for a loop during the 2024 Grammy Awards when she took the stage for winning Best Pop Vocal Album for Midnights — her lucky number 13th time winning one of the golden gramophones — and officially announced her 11th original studio album, The Tortured Poets Department.

“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 April 19,” she said on stage, laughing. “It’s called The Tortured Poets Department. I’m gonna go post the cover backstage.”

The announcement shocked Swifties everywhere, because, prior to the awards show, fans guessed that the “Anti-Hero” singer might be announcing the widely-expected re-recorded version of her sixth album Reputation, due to a series of strange and intentional Easter eggs, including the fact both her official website and store went down for prolonged periods of time on Grammys Sunday.

Alas, Swift was on her “Vigilante S—” again, and here we are, members of The Tortured Swifties Department, trying to figure out what the new record has in store for us. To that end, here’s everything we know so far about The Tortured Poets Department — but be sure to check back, as this story will be updated as we learn more.
