Taylor Swift will release her 11th album on April 19, and here’s everything we know about “The Tortured Poets Department,” or “Tortured Poets” for short.
There are 16 tracks plus a different bonus track on four versions of the album (20 songs in total). At the Grammys, Swift announced version one would include “The Manuscript.”
In Melbourne, Australia, Swift announced a second version with a different bonus track, “The Bolter.” In Sydney, Australia, she announced a third version with the track “The Albatross.”
In Singapore, she announced a fourth and final version with the track “The Black Dog.”
Post Malone and Florence and The Machine are two contributors on what appears to be a break-up album. The titles are brutal.
Fans speculate the album is about Swift’s six-year relationship to English actor Joe Alwyn. Both stars kept the relationship out of the public eye.
The back of the first version of the album reads, “I love you, it’s ruining me,” which may serve as a dagger-to-the-chest harbinger.

Why announce the new album at the Grammys?
Taylor Swift loves numerology, especially when it comes to the number 13. On Feb. 4, the singer won her 13th career Grammy for pop vocal album.
“I want to say thank you to the fans,” Swift said in her acceptance speech, “by telling you a secret that I’ve been keeping from you for the past two years, which is that my brand-new album comes out April 19.”
During her first Tokyo concert later that week, Swift said she intended to announce the album in Japan but switched to the Grammys.
“I had this plan in my head and I told my friends, I told Jack (Antonoff), but I hadn’t really told many other people,” she said. “I thought, ‘OK, so if I’m lucky enough to win one thing tonight, I’m just going to do it. I’m just going to announce my new album.'”
Version one of the album included the bonus track “The Manuscript.”
