Swift first introduced the launch day of “The Tortured Poets Department” at the Grammy Awards in February, wherever she gained album of the calendar year for “Midnights.”
When she was accepting the award, she reported, “I want to say thank you to the followers by telling you a key that I’ve been holding from you for the previous TWO decades.” When she reported the term two, she put up two fingers. In retrospect, it seems probable she was teasing that the collection was really a double album.
The prolific pop star has released an astounding nine albums in the past five years, including four re-recordings of past audio (her Taylor’s Version albums) and five studio albums. A audio movie for this new album’s very first one, “Fortnight,” will be out there on Friday at 8 p.m.
“The Tortured Poets Department” provides a lot of tracks with Swift’s signature theme of strength in the midst of heartbreak (together with some tattling on former boyfriends). “I appreciate you/It’s ruining my lifetime,” she sings on “Fortnight.”
The fifth track, “So Long, London” is a basic Swift split-up tune. Supporters are speculating that it is about her former boyfriend, British actor Joe Alwyn. Because the fifth observe on her 2019 album, “Lover” (termed “London Boy”) could possibly have been about Alwyn, it would make sense that “So Extensive, London” would be about the conclusion of that marriage.

Below are some of the lyrics:
“I didn’t opt in to be your odd gentleman out
I founded the club she’s heard wonderful points about
I still left all I knew you remaining me at the property by the Heath
I stopped CPR, right after all it’s no use
The spirit was long gone, we would hardly ever arrive to
And I’m pissed off you permit me give you all that youth for free”
Of course, lovers can speculate all they want. As usual, Swift will no doubt keep on being coy about who the song’s about!
