Taylor Swift just dropped a bombshell for fans eagerly awaiting her next album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” slated to hit the shelves on April 19. The Grammy queen spilled the beans during her acceptance speech at the recent Grammys, where she snagged the awards for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for “Midnights.”
Taking a crafty approach, Swift treated fans to a sneak peek of the album’s back cover on social media, revealing a 16-track masterpiece. What’s got everyone buzzing? Collaborations that include none other than Post Malone on “Fortnight” and Florence + the Machine on “Florida!”
