“THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT” is the title of Taylor Swift’s new album, the eleventh of her career (out April 19).
The news was given by Swift herself on the same day in which the artist entered the history of the Grammy Awards by becoming the first artist to win the “Album of the year” award four times with “Midnights”, after having already won previously with “Fearless” (2010), “1989” (2016) and “Folklore” (2021). Before her, only Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon and Frank Sinatra had succeeded, winning three.
Collecting the Grammy Awards – the 13th of her career – for “Album of the year” for “Midnights”, an album certified platinum in Italy, which also won the award for “Best pop vocal album”, Taylor Swift announced the release of the new album with these words:
I know the way the Recording Academy voted is a direct reflection of the passion of the fans.
So I want to thank the fans by revealing a secret that I have kept hidden for the last two years, which is that my brand new album will be released on April 19th.”
Through social media, the artist then explained the concept of “THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT”:
And so I enter the scene with the rehearsals
My coat of arms tarnished
My muses, acquired like bruises
My talismans and pendants
The tic,
tic,
ticking
of love bombs
My veins of pitch black ink
All is fair in love and poetry…
Best regards,The Tortured Poets Department”

The tour, which will also arrive in Italy at the San Siro Stadium with two event dates on 13 and 14 July, is generating sold out after sold out with the audience in a frenzy, so much so that during the Seattle shows the live show recorded vibrations similar to those of a magnitude 2.3 earthquake.
