Taylor sends fans into meltdown by dropping 15 MORE songs

Just hours after The Tortured Poets Album was released, Taylor has announced MORE 15 songs.

The pop star is known for her ‘Easter Eggs’ and surprises for her fans – and had sparked a wave of speculation by posting a countdown clock on social media.

In the post, Taylor told her followers that she had written “so much tortured poetry over the past two years” that she wanted to share it with her fans.

Sharing the double album, called The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology, she wrote: “It’s a 2am surprise: The Tortured Poets Department is a secret DOUBLE album.

‘I’ve written so much tortured poetry over the past two years and I wanted to share it all with you, so here is the second part of TTPD: The Anthology. 15 additional songs. And now the story isn’t mine anymore… it’s all yours.’

All poets and celebrities have been featured on The Tortured Poets Department

Today there are Easter eggs galore in Swiftieland as Taylor has named the likes of Charlie Puth and Patti Smith.

The album also features a poem written by Fleetwood’s Stevie Nicks, which references a pair of star-crossed lovers.

Swift mentions singer-songwriter Charlie Puth, 32, on the title track The Tortured Poets Department with the lyrics: “You smoked and ate seven bars of chocolate/ We declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist.”

Could Taylor be referring to her feud with Kim Kardashian?

The tea keeps spilling and Taylor keeps refilling it!

An issue of The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology is then calledK you aI AMee and it is certainly no coincidence that the capital letters are spelled KIM.

The song happens to be about a bully at school.

Taylor and Kim’s long-running feud began thanks to the singer’s dispute with Kanye in 2009, when he famously stormed the stage at the VMAs when she won Best Female Video.

Things got even worse in 2016 when Kanye released his song Famous, with the lyrics: ‘I feel like me and Taylor Swift may still have sex / Why? I made that b**** famous.”

It sparked a firestorm on social media, fueled by Kim, who was married to Kanye at the time.

Taylor references exes Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy in new album

There was a lot of speculation about who Taylor would write on her latest record.

In April 2023, her six-year relationship with actor Joe Alwyn ended – and she had a short-lived fling with 1975 frontman Matty Healy.

Fans are quick to speculate about the meaning of her lyrics, although she is now happily in love with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce.

Here, MailOnline explains who each of her new songs is about. So who is referring to YOUR favorite song?
