Taylor Swift Shocks Fans with 2am Announcement, Reveals 'Tortured Poets Department' is a Double Album


Swift teased a mysterious announcement immediately after dropping the first half of 'Tortured Poets Department' at midnight.

She also teased the number 2 repeatedly over the past few weeks, in small ways that fans interpreted as a subtle clue that the album would be a two-parter -- a conspiracy theory that proved to pan out. 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," Swift wrote. "I've been working on Tortured Poets since right after I turned in Midnights," she told the audience, clarifying that albums are submitted "months in advance" so they can be finalized.
