This meeting of “The Tortured Poets Department” is now in session, as Taylor Swift’s 11th studio album hits shelves.
Swift first announced the new album at the 2024 Grammys while accepting the award for best pop vocal album (for “Midnights“) and followed it up with an Instagram post hinting at the new era’s aesthetic.
“All’s fair in love and poetry,” the announcement read. “Sincerely, the Chairman of The Tortured Poets Department.”
Then, just two hours after the album’s release, the Chairman (Swift herelf) shocked Swifties everywhere by announcing that “The Tortured Poets Department” is not just one album, but two — yes, a double album!
While a 31-track LP including every song from “The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology” is not yet available as a CD or vinyl, you can shop a vinyl variant with bonus track “The Manuscript” from Amazon now. We’re unsure whether or not Swift will ever release the full thing, but hey, 16 tracks isn’t bad! And over 10,000 Amazon shoppers who have purchased in the last month would agree.

Here's what to know about Taylor Swift's new album 'The Tortured Poets Department':
- The 14-time Grammy winner released her highly anticipated 11th studio album “The Tortured Poets Department” on Friday.
- Swift sent her fans into a frenzy at 2 a.m. after revealing the record is a double album. Titled “The Anthology,” Swift’s late-night surprise includes 15 bonus tracks, bringing the total song count to a whopping 31.
- Swift initially unveiled her 16-song album at midnight, including collaborations with Post Malone and Florence Welch on two tracks. There are also four bonus tracks, “The Manuscript,” “The Bolter,” “The Albatross” and “The Black Dog” that are featured on various vinyl versions of the album. The four tracks, as well as 11 new songs, are included in “The Anthology.”
- A poem about heartbreak that serves as a prologue for the album was written by Fleetwood Mac alum Stevie Nicks.
- There are several celeb names peppered throughout the album’s lyrics. The mention of singer Charlie Puth’s name took some Swifties by surprise.
- While some of Swift’s exes aren’t spared on “TTPD,” the singer, 34, does seemingly reference her current beau Travis Kelce on the new album’s track “The Alchemy” in a loving way.
- As for her exes, 1975 frontman Matty Healy is reportedly referenced throughout the 31-song-strong record. In fact, Healy — who, before their summer split, was a rebound romance for the pop superstar following her breakup with British actor Joe Alwyn after six years — appears to be the subject of the vicious takedown “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.” Other fans, however, may speculate the “sparkling summer” line is about Alwyn. There are also hints that “I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)” — gotta love that title — might be about 35-year-old Healy.
- As for Alwyn, Swift dropped hints about the pair’s ill-fated six-year romance for a good — or for him, not so good — part of the album. Check out the 10 Alwyn-related references we’ve spotted.
