Taylor Swift announces her new album, The Tortured Poets Department

While accepting Best Pop Vocal Album for her 2022 album Midnights – the latest album of original music – Swift revealed that she will be releasing her eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department. In 2023, whilst in the midst of The Eras Tour, she released two more Taylor’s Version re-recordings of her early albums, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) and 1989 (Taylor’s Version).

She announced the album with a photograph of a handwritten note which reads: "And so I enter into evidence, my tarnished coat of arms. My muses, acquired like bruises, my talismans and charms. The tick, tick, tick, of love bombs. My veins of pitch black ink. All's fair in love and poetry. Sincerely, the chairman of The Tortured Poets Department."

Taylor Swift also won the Album Of The Year Grammy for Midnights, which officially makes her the first person to ever win that award four times. She had been tied with Paul Simon, Frank Sinatra, and Stevie Wonder for most wins in the category, with previous wins for Folklore, 1989, and Fearless.
