Taylor Swift Claims The ‘Sorrowful’ Chapter of Her Life Is ‘Closed’ After Tortured Poets’ Release
Taylor Swift is already looking towards the future following the debut of her latest album. The renowned pop icon took to Instagram on Friday, April 19, to express her excitement about the release of her 11th studio album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department.’
In her post, Swift described the album as “An anthology of new works that reflect events, opinions and sentiments from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time – one that was both sensational and sorrowful in equal measure. This period of the author’s life is now over, the chapter closed and boarded up.”

And then all that’s left behind is the tortured poetry.”
Before this announcement, Swift revealed on Instagram that the lead single from ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ would be ‘Fortnight’, featuring Post Malone.

Swift initially announced the album during her acceptance speech for ‘Best Pop Vocal Album’ at the Grammy Awards in February. The 14-time Grammy winner also hinted that heartbreak would be a significant theme of the LP, sharing five exclusive playlists with Apple Music and offering some snippets of lyrics
