“The Tortured Poets Department It’s a secret DOUBLE album”Swift explained. “I’ve written so much tortured poetry over the last two years and I wanted to share it all with you, so here’s the second part of TTPD: The Anthology. 15 extra songs. And now the story is no longer mine… it’s all yours.” Listen now:
“An anthology of new works that reflect events, opinions and feelings from a fleeting and fatalistic moment – which was both sensational and sad in equal measure”wrote the artist on her social networks, when announcing the release of the album.
“This period of the author’s life is over, the chapter has been closed and boarded up. There is nothing to avenge, there are no scores to settle once the wounds have healed. And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self-inflicted.”continued Swift.
“This writer firmly believes that our tears become sacred in the form of ink on a page. Once we tell our saddest story, we can let go of it”he added, before closing: “And then all that’s left is tortured poetry.”
