Taylor Swift has announced a new album called Tortured Poets Department. The singer broke the news while accepting the award for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 2024 Grammys on February 4, revealing the follow-up to Midnights will be out on April 19. Watch the announcement below.
Swift then shared the album’s cover artwork on social media, writing, “And so I enter into evidence/ My tarnished coat of arms/ My muses, acquired like bruises/My talismans and charms/ The tick, tick, tick of love bombs/My veins of pitch black ink. All’s fair in love and poetry/ Sincerely, the Chairman of the Tortured Poets Department.”
Swift’s Midnights won Best Pop Vocal Album over Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS, Ed Sheeran’s –, Miley Cyrus’ Endless Summer Vacation, and Kelly Clarkson’s Chemistry. It marks Swift’s 13th Grammy, as she pointed out during her acceptance speech.
