All the Swifties can take a moment and rejoice as pop icon Taylor Swift dropsher 11th studio masterpiece after a surprise announcement at the 2024 Grammys. This upcoming album marks a bold new chapter for Swift, as she is draped in a moody black-and-white aesthetic that whispers of poets, inkwells, and late-night musings.

The singer posted the announcement on X (formerly Twitter) and wrote,"The Tortured Poets Department. 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."

Swift added, "There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed. Upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self-inflicted. This writer firmly believes that our tears become holy in the form of ink on a page. Once we have spoken our saddest story, we can be free of it. And then all that’s left behind is the tortured poetry. THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT is out now."
