Swifties React To Taylor Swift's 'The Tortured Poets Department'

The Music.com.au | April 19, 2024

The album is here, and the early reactions are here. Taylor Swift’s highly anticipated eleventh album, THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT, has just landed on streaming services (after a leak surfaced yesterday), and Swifties already have some thoughts out there.

Swift’s new album, which features 16 songs across an hour and five minutes, has arrived with massive fanfare after she opted not to release any singles in the lead-up to the big day.

For the LP, Swift once again joined forces with producers Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner (of The National fame) for an indie-pop-sounding album with flashes of rock and electronic music.

Bolstered by lead single (and the album’s first track) Fortnight starring Post Malone, THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT features another collaboration, Florida!!! with Florence + The Machine.

In addition to the 16 tracks on the album, fans who pre-ordered physical editions will gain an extra track, either The Manuscript, The Albatross, The Bolter, or The Black Dog.

Of course, any new Taylor Swift album will be met with varied reactions, and this one is different. Fans are currently screaming on X (formerly known as Twitter)—no surprise there—check out what fans are saying about THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT below.

In a live review of Swift’s first show of the Eras tour at the MCG, The Music’s Christopher Lewis wrote, “The Eras Tour is, first and foremost, Taylor Swift’s victory lap. But at three and a half hours long, it’s a victory marathon.”

In other Taylor Swift news, her music made its triumphant return to TikTok a week before THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT was released. Universal Music Group notably pulled all their music from the social media giant earlier this year, which included Swift’s discography, but it seems the mega pop star might’ve struck her own deal with TikTok in allowing her music to return to the platform.
