Swift, 34, is dominating the charts once again with her 11th full-length studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, which shattered numerous records upon release on Friday, April 19. The series premiered in 2002 on Fox with a star-studded judging panel consisting of Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson.
