Spotify pop-up explained

Swifties in Los Angeles had a celebration to commemorate the release of TTPD.

A preview of part of the album’s lyrics was given at the three-day event, which took place at the Grove on April 16–18.

Throughout the course of three days, the pages of a manuscript that was the focal point of the installation revealed new lyrics at regular intervals.

Following the album’s name, Florida, on the globe, a bust of a peace sign, a quill and fountain pens, and other possible Easter eggs hidden in the pop-up library, fans flocked to social media to identify them.

When the album officially drops

TTPD will be available on Friday at 12 am ET. It is currently available for preorder on Taylor Swift’s website.

Be ready for any delays if you intend to stream The Tortured Poets Department as soon as it becomes available.

Spotify experienced a brief outage following the release of Swift’s brand-new album Midnights, caused by sheer demand.

TTPD will have bonus songs

The Bolter, The Albatross, The Black Dog, and The Manuscript are the four TTPD variation editions that have been confirmed.

Each variant is called for the bonus track that it will contain. Although Swift has encouraged her fans to preorder these editions on her website, Target also carries the CD and vinyl copies of the album.

Most of the alternative editions—including The Bolter, The Albatross, and The Black Dog—are offered as CDs.

The Manuscript additional song serves as the name of the fourth variation edition, which is exclusively available at Target on CD and vinyl in “phantom clear” or “ghost white” colors.

Preorders for vinyl bundles of the other variation editions—The Bolter, The Albatross, and The Black Dog—that came with a premium CD and cassette were also available from Swift.

TTPD details

The album features songs by Post Malone and Florence and the Machine, while Swift collaborated with Aaron Dessner on her most recent album in addition to her longtime friend Jack Antonoff.

Swift is credited with multiple solo writing credits on this album.

The singer wrote the songs Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me and My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys.

Source says Taylor wrote two songs about Travis

Taylor, 34, is said to have written two love songs for Travis, however, it’s unclear if those are the ones he’s supposedly favorited, per an Us Weekly source last month.

“They have to do with their love story and falling in love with him,” the source said. “They’re very special.”

“Just like most people journal, Taylor writes lyrics,” the source added. “Her relationship with Travis has inspired her.”
