Grammy award-winning artist Taylor Swift is set to release her highly anticipated album, The Tortured Poets Department, this Friday. The announcement comes after Swift’s recent win at the Grammys, marking her 14th career win.
The album, which features 16 new songs and four bonus tracks, has already generated buzz among fans. Swift has also partnered with Apple Music to create playlists based on the “stages of heartbreak” to accompany the album release.
Fans can expect a special treat as Swift will be releasing the first music video from the album at 8 p.m. ET on the day of the album drop. The first single from the album, Fortnight featuring Post Malone, was announced back in April.
However, there are concerns about a leaked version of the album circulating online. Fans are urged to wait for the official release to fully enjoy the album experience.
The album will have four variant editions, each with unique bonus tracks. Collaborators on the album include Post Malone and Florence and the Machine. The bonus tracks will only be available on CD and vinyl formats, with separate releases for each variant edition.
Swift has a history of delaying the release of bonus songs on streaming services, but fans can expect clips of the bonus tracks on TikTok before they are available for streaming. The album’s variants are available for pre-order through retailers such as Target and Barnes and Noble.
As anticipation builds for the release of The Tortured Poets Department, fans are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Swift’s latest masterpiece and the bonus tracks that come with it.
