As Swifties devour her latest work, Taylor Swift is letting go of some baggage through The Tortured Poets Department.
After the Grammy Award winner, 34, dropped her 11th studio album Thursday night, she took to Instagram with a statement about how the release signals the turning of a personal page.
‘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,’ she started in the caption.
‘And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self-inflicted,’ added Swift.

She wrote that the album marks a ‘chapter closed and boarded up,’ as Swifties speculate about some of the lyrics’ meanings
‘This writer is of the firm belief 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.’
Swift wrote, ‘And then all that’s left behind is the tortured poetry. THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT is out now.’
She shared the statement with some gorgeous black-and-white portraits from the album’s promo shoot.
In anticipation of the album, Swifties have already sniffed out apparent nods to her boyfriend Travis Kelce in the lyrics, as well as exes Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy.
Swift dated Healy, 35, briefly in 2023, following the end of her six-year relationship with Alwyn, 33.
Fans have speculated that the song title ‘So Long, London’ is a reference to the British actor, as well as the lyric: ‘I wish I could un-recall how we almost had it all.’
The ‘Fortnight‘ artist announced her latest album back in February while accepting her lucky 13th Grammy Award, taking home Best Pop Album for Midnights.
After telling fans she’d post the cover art backstage, the image quickly amassed more than 2 million likes in five minutes.
