Remember when everyone thought Taylor Swift was going to announce Reputation (Taylor’s Version) at the 2024 Grammys in February? That would have been swell, but instead, she did something even better: Swift revealed the title and release date of her 11th studio album (and 14th album overall), The Tortured Poets Department. That release date has finally almost arrived.
Here’s everything you need to know about The Tortured Poets Department, including the tracklist and cover art.
