Taylor Swift reveals she began planning Tortured Poets Department section of Eras Tour NINE months ago
Taylor Swift revealed during her second performance in Paris that she has been working on The Tortured Poets Department segment of her Eras Tour since last year.
The 34-year-old singer – who has renewed her record-breaking tour – took some time during her show to share details with her attentive audience.
‘We started planning this surprise for you about eight or nine months ago, and when we got “two months off” from the Eras Tour, we actually didn’t take any time off at all.
‘We just started rehearsing straight away. So I would like to give it up for my crew, my dancers and my band,” she said during a break in the music.
The Tortured Poets Department was released on April 19 and is Taylor’s eleventh studio album.
