A collaboration with singer and rapper Post Malone, “Fortnight” is the lead single from Swift’s record-breaking 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department. “And for a fortnight there, we were together / Run into you sometimes, comment on my sweater / Now you’re at the mailbox, turned into good neighbors / My husband is cheating, I wanna kill him.” Explaining the song’s lyrics on Amazon Music, Swift said that she “always imagined” that “Fortnight” was set in an “American town where the American Dream you thought would happen to you didn’t”. So I was just writing from that perspective.” The Tortured Poets Department debuted at No 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 2.61 million units, the highest for any album since Adele’s 25 in 2015.
