Taylor Swift new album LIVE: Swifties in dreamland as popstar releases The Tortured Poets Department as a SURPRISE double record with an extra 15 SONGS

Just hours after The Tortured Poets Album being released – and Taylor has announced 15 MORE tracks.

The popstar is known for her ‘Easter eggs’ and surprises for her fans – and had sparked a flurry of speculation by posting a countdown clock on social media.

Captioning the post, Taylor told her followers that she’d written ‘so much tortured poetry in the past two years’ that she wanted to share it with her fans.

Sharing the double album was called The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology, she wrote: ‘It’s a 2am surprise: The Tortured Poets Department is a secret DOUBLE album. ✌️

‘I’d written so much tortured poetry in the past 2 years and wanted to share it all with you, so here’s the second installment of TTPD: The Anthology. 15 extra songs. And now the story isn’t mine anymore… it’s all yours.’

It’s Easter eggs galore in Swiftieland today as Taylor has namedropped the likes of Charlie Puth and Patti Smith.

The album also includes a poem penned by Fleetwood’s Stevie Nicks, which references a pair of starcrossed lovers.

Swift mentions singer-songwriter Charlie Puth, 32, on the title track The Tortured Poets Department with the lyrics, ‘You smoked then ate seven bars of chocolate/ We declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist.’

Read on to find out who else is mentioned in the 31-track album!

The tea keeps on spilling and Taylor keeps on topping it up!

A track from The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology is called thanK you aIMee and surely it’s not a coincidence that the capital letters spell out KIM.

The song happens to be about a school bully.

Taylor and Kim’s longtime row began thanks to the singer’s dispute with Kanye in 2009, when he famously stormed the stage at the VMAs when she won the prize for Best Female Video.

Things got worse in 2016 when Kanye released his song Famous, which featured the lyrics: ‘I feel like me and Taylor Swift might still have sex / Why? I made that b**** famous.’

It led to a social media firestorm ignited by Kim, who was married to Kanye at the time.

There was much speculation over who Taylor would write about on her latest record.

In April 2023, her six-year relationship with actor Joe Alwyn came to an end – and she went on to have a short-lived fling with 1975 frontman Matty Healy.

Fans have been quick to speculate over the meanings of her lyrics – although she is now happily loved up with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce.

Here MailOnline breaks down who each of her new tracks is about. So who does YOUR favourite track reference?

Swifties are not known for doing things by halves – and have been left in tears by the new album, calling it a ‘masterpiece’ and her ‘best album ever’.

One typed, ‘IM CRYING RN. TAYLOR WE LOVE YOU!!!!’ while another added, ‘This is going to be the best album Taylor has made I know it.’

’13 seconds in and its already the best album,’ a follower penned, and one excitedly wrote, ‘OMG Taylor this is a masterpiece!! Thank you for this amazing album!! Love you.’

‘I love it so much already,’ a Swiftie typed, while another penned, ‘THIS IS THE BEST ALBUM YOU’VE EVER MADE.’

’10 seconds into The Tortured Poets Department,’ one typed while adding a GIF of Max (Sadie Sink) from Stranger Things floating up into the air.
