Taylor Swift has revealed the tracklist for her upcoming album, which features British band Florence + The Machine and US rapper Post Malone.
The pop megastar announced she would be releasing a new album titled The Tortured Poets Department on April 19th, during an acceptance speech at the Grammy awards in Los Angeles.
But since the title of the album has been revealed, Swifties noticed something familiar about its name...
Back in 2022, Joe Alwyn and Paul Mescal revealed in an interview with Variety they were in a WhatsApp Group chat together called The Tortured Man Club, along with fellow Irish actor Andrew Scott.
Sounds familiar... right? Well, her fans seem to think so! No doubt it won't be the only reference to Joe Alwyn to feature on her new album.
Shift shared the titles of the 16 tracks and the bonus track on the new album yesterday, sharing a photograph of the physical record on social media.

The tracklist includes a song titled Florida!!! featuring Florence + The Machine, a UK-based band fronted by Florence Welch, and a song named Fortnight featuring Circles singer Post Malone.
Other song titles include So Long, London; I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can); Guilty As Sin?; The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived; I Can Do It With A Broken Heart; and Clara Bow, while the bonus song is titled The Manuscript.
A pre-order for the vinyl album available on Swift’s website includes a “collectable 24-page book-bound jacket with three handwritten lyrics unique to this vinyl and never-before-seen photos”.
Swift announced the album on-stage after winning her 13th Grammy Award for best pop vocal album for Midnights, which later won her album of the year for a history-making fourth time.
Frenzied fans had been speculating online if the US singer-songwriter would announce new music during the ceremony, having made other announcements at previous awards shows.

Picking up the gong, Swift said: “I know that the way the Recording Academy voted is a direct reflection of the passion from the fans.
“So I want to say thank you to the fans by telling you a secret that I have been keeping from you for the last two years.
“Which is that my brand new album comes out April 19th, it’s called the Tortured Poets Department, I’m going to go and post the cover right now back stage, thank you I love you.”
