Jamiesfeast – Taylor Swift took the stage to accept the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album for “Midnights” on Sunday evening. In a surprising turn of events, she also announced that her highly-anticipated new album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” would be released on April 19th. This unexpected announcement shocked and thrilled Swifties worldwide, who had been eagerly awaiting news about the release of “Reputation (Taylor’s Version).”
In a moment of celebration, Taylor Swift acknowledged her 13th Grammy win, a number that holds significance in her life. She expressed her gratitude to the members of the Recording Academy for voting in her favor, recognizing that their decision reflects the unwavering support and passion of her fans. This unexpected comment might have raised a few eyebrows among the Recording Academy.
“So I want to say thank you to the fans by telling you a secret that I have been keeping from you for the last two years, which is that my brand-new album comes out April 19th,” Swift said. “It’s called ‘The Tortured Poets Department.’”
“I’m gonna go and post the cover right now backstage,” Swift giggled, as bedlam ensued. Whether she’ll also take home a record-breaking fourth prize for Album of the Year , and potentially make another insane announcement, remains to be seen.
Photographer Beth Garrabrant, a favorite of Swift, captures the artist in a black-and-white cover image. Swift can be seen reclining on white pillows, wearing a delicate black top and black shorts. Interestingly, her eyes are intentionally excluded from the frame, similar to the cover of her previous album, “1989.”
Diehard fans immediately noticed that the album’s title had a strangely familiar ring to it. A few years back, there were rumors circulating that Swift’s former flame, Joe Alwyn, who is an actor known for his role in “Conversations With Friends,” was part of a group chat called the “Tortured Man Club” with actors Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott.
Joe is in a difficult situation. The days ahead for him look bleak.
