As global pop phenomenon Taylor Swift was collecting her Grammy award for Best Pop Vocal Album for her 10th studio album ‘Midnights’, the star announced that new music is close than we think as she is set to drop her 11th studio album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ everywhere on 19 April.
“I want to say thank you to the members of the Recording Academy for voting this way. But I know that the way that the Recording Academy voted is a direct reflection of the passion of the fans,” Taylor said during her speech.
“So 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 on April 19. It’s called ‘The Tortured Poets Department’. I’m gonna go and post the cover right now backstage. Thank you. I love you. Thank you.”
The upcoming album follows the hugely successful ‘Midnights’, which sold 1.6 million copies in its first week in the US two years ago.
That record, which featured the singles ‘Anti-Hero’, ‘Bejeweled’ and ‘Karma’, went on to win Album Of The Year at the end of the Grammys ceremony – making Swift the first person in history to win the award four times.
She previously won in 2010 for Fearless, 2016 for her pop crossover album 1989, and in 2021 for the lockdown-era project Folklore.
Naturally, Swifties are very excited to hear new music from Taylor. This new album also hints that there will be new material to add to the star’s blockbuster Eras tour, which hits Europe in May this year.
