Taylor Swift appears to tease lyrics from The Tortured Poets Department
Coinciding with the solar eclipse, which took place yesterday (8 April), Taylor Swift appeared to tease lyrics to a song on her forthcoming eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department.
The Tortured Poets Department was announced during Swift's acceptance speech for Best Pop Vocal Album for Midnights at the 2024 Grammys, revealing that she was going to post the artwork as soon as she was backstage. Alongside this, she shared a photograph of a handwritten note which read: "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.

Now, she has shared a video of a typewriter writing the words: "Crowd goes wild at her fingertips, half moonshine, full eclipse," which is suggested to be lyrics from a song on the forthcoming album which follows her 2022 album Midnights, as well as two Taylor’s Version re-recordings of her early albums, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) and 1989 (Taylor’s Version).
The Tortured Poets Department is set for release on 19 April.
