Taylor Swift, who won the Grammy for the best pop vocal album for ‘Midnights’, announced her next studio album titled ‘The Tortured Poets Department’.
A post on Swift’s Instagram revealed what appears to be the album’s artwork and posted a photo of a handwritten note that reads, “And so I enter into evidence / My tarnished coat of arms / My muses, acquired like bruises / My talismans and charms / The tick, tick, tick of love bombs / My veins of pitch-black ink / All’s fair in love and poetry…” She signed off the poem (or lyrics) with, “Sincerely, The Chairman of the Tortured Poets Department.”

A pre-order link on Swift’s website details the new album: It will be 16 tracks, and the vinyl, CD, and cassette editions will feature a bonus song called ‘The Manuscript’. There is also a collectible 24-page book-bound jacket with three handwritten lyrics and never-before-seen photos.
Swift was nominated for six Grammys this year surrounding her 2022 album “Midnights,” which is up for album of the year. Her song “Anti-Hero” was nominated for Best Pop Solo Performance, which went to Miley Cyrus for “Flowers.” Swift is also competing for song of the year and record of the year, as well as best pop duo/group performance for “Karma,” with Ice Spice.
Her latest Grammy win is just another stop in Swift’s yearlong victory lap, which includes her record-breaking Eras Tour and its accompanying concert movie.
On February 7, Swift will resume the tour in Japan before traveling to Melbourne and Sydney. The tour continues throughout the entirety of 2024, with Swift returning to the U.S. in October and November.
