What Does ‘The Albatross’ Mean? Breaking Down Taylor Swift Fan Theories


Taylor Swift announced a new version of her ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ album features a song called ‘The Albatross’

Swift’s 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, drops on April 19 and will already have two additional bonus versions titled “The Manuscript” and “The Bolter.” Swifties have speculated that the record chronicles the pop star’s breakup from Joe Alwyn. The word “albatross” has multiple meanings and can refer to either an oceanic bird (often residing in Australia, where Swift made her announcement), a source of frustration and guilt or a “double eagle” in golf.
