The international social media sphere is buzzing as singer Taylor Swift releases her new double album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” featuring a total of 31 songs and a runtime of over 2 hours. The 14-time Grammy-winning artist has left fervent fans in awe as she unveils her 11th album in her career. While fans were still immersed in the 16 tracks of “The Tortured Poets Department,” Swift dropped another 15 songs and named the second volume of the album “The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology.”

The first volume of the album was launched in the early hours of April 19th through the streaming platform. Within just 2 hours, the second volume of the album was released, surprising fans all around.

“This is the surprise I have for you all, The Tortured Poets Department is a double album. I’ve been writing so many songs over the past 2 years and I want to share them with you. Now, this story is no longer just mine, it has become yours too,” Taylor Swift wrote on her social media account.

Many fans have expressed their astonishment at Taylor Swift’s remarkable artistic labor. “While I was still listening to the melodies of the songs in The Tortured Poets Department, Taylor Swift released volume 2 of the album. How can I live normally when my idol has such superhero-like strength?” one fan humorously commented.

Currently, professional reviews for The Tortured Poets Department album are quite positive. The melodies, arrangements, vocals, and lyrics in the album are all praised. Reviews from The Independent (UK), The Times (UK), and Rolling Stone magazine (US) have given Swift’s new album perfect scores.

The Tortured Poets Department is noted as a heavily Taylor Swift-esque album. It’s a ambitious music project that showcases Swift’s multifaceted musical personality.

In the album, many songs use bold lyrics, with melodies expressing intense emotions. This demonstrates the singer’s readiness to take risks in music.

Swift began conceptualizing this album right after completing “Midnights” (2022). She continued to write and develop ideas for the new album during the Eras tour (her 6th tour in her career).

For Swift, “The Tortured Poets Department” is a “salvation” album in her career and life. She wrote this album by delving deep into intense emotions and her own stories. The songs were written out of a pressing need for creative expression.

The album is a blend of pop rock, synth-pop, folk influences… The 34-year-old singer aims to express her truest self by recounting personal stories through music.

Critics see this album as a way for Swift to express and alleviate her own emotions. In the album, audiences will find both sadness and humor.

Taylor Swift’s artistic labor is currently something the public admires. She releases a groundbreaking album even while touring around the world.

Going on tour is typically a draining activity, and many major stars feel “burnt out” by it. Some even fear touring because they can’t handle the pressure and demanding requirements it entails.

However, Taylor Swift not only toured but also quietly perfected her new album at the same time. Each night of her Eras tour lasted over 3 and a half hours, with a setlist of over 40 songs.

Though not yet concluded, the Eras tour has become the highest-grossing tour of all time, catapulting Swift into the billionaire club. Not only that, she also self-funded the production of a film revolving around the tour – the movie “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.”

This film also broke records, becoming the highest-grossing film among those documenting concert tours. During the tour, Swift also recorded, filmed music videos for the new album, and re-released old albums… All this immense workload was accomplished by Swift within… just over a year.

This tireless work ethic can only be explained by Swift’s own words. She told Time magazine about her state of mind during this period: “This is the time I feel the proudest, happiest, and most fulfilled creatively, I feel freer than ever before.

We can express things in a simple way, or complicate everything the way we want, but ultimately there’s only one question… Do you feel entertained watching me?”
