Read our privacy policy Taylor Swift has released her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, and fans are busy unpacking everything from lyrics to her “Fortnight” music video. The pop titan’s latest record, announced earlier this year when she won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album, was released overnight on Friday 19 April and has already broken two Spotify records. Fans have been surprised that many songs on the album seem to take aim at Swift’s ex Matty Healy, whom she briefly dated last year, instead of Joe Alwyn, her boyfriend of six years, whom she was reported to have parted ways with around April 2023.
