The Tortured Poets Department: Taylor Swift's reveals double album with 31 songs

After surprising fans with the album’s announcement during her record-breaking night at the 66th Grammy Awards in February - where she became the first performer to win Album of the Year four times - it makes sense that Swift was keen to keep fans on their toes.

And at 2am Swift’s time, she sent her already excited fans into a frenzy by revealing that there were 15 additional tracks which make up The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology.

On social media, she said: “It’s a 2am surprise: The Tortured Poets Department is a secret DOUBLE album. ✌️ I’d written so much tortured poetry in the past 2 years and wanted to share it all with you, so here’s the second installment of TTPD: The Anthology. 15 extra songs. And now the story isn’t mine anymore… it’s all yours. 🤍”

Here is everything you need to know about The Tortured Poets Department.

Taylor Swift teamed up with both Apple Music and Spotify to tease fans

Ahead of The Tortured Poets Department release, Taylor Swift teamed up with Apple Music to engage Swifties in an Easter egg hunt. which saw a new word being hidden among five curated playlists each day.

Each Taylor Swift playlist on Apple Music represents a stage of heartbreak:

• Denial: I Love You, It’s Ruining My Life
• Anger: You Don’t Get to Tell Me About Sad
• Bargaining: Am I Allowed to Cry?
• Depression: Old Habits Die Screaming
• Acceptance: I Can Do It With a Broken Heart

The game revealed the phrase: “We hereby conduct this post mortem” - a line from new song, How Did It End?

In addition, Spotify held a pop-up event at The Grove in Los Angeles which took the form of a library - with fresh lyrics hidden in plain sight for fans to dissect and discover.
