Poetry class is in session. Taylor Swift’s long-awaited 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, arrived on Friday (April 19).

Swift initially announced the album at the 2024 Grammys, dropping the bombshell news mid-acceptance speech for best pop vocal for her 2022 record Midnights. “This is my 13th Grammy – which is my lucky number, I don’t know if I’ve ever told you that,” she teased the crowd from the stage at Crypto.com Arena in February. “I want to say thank you to the fans by telling you a secret that I’ve been keeping from you for the last two years which is that my brand new album comes out April 19.”

The superstar previously announced the track list, as well as three variants of the 16-track album, each featuring a different bonus track: “The Manuscript,” “The Bolter” and “The Albatross.” She revealed “The Bolter” and “The Albatross” editions at previous tour dates in Melbourne and Sydney, Australia. The Tortured Poets Department tracklist features two major collaborations: Post Malone, whose name is billed on the lead single, “Fortnight,” as well as Florence + The Machine on track eight, “Florida!!!”

The Tortured Poets Department is Swift’s first album of new material since October 2022’s Midnights, which won album of the year and best pop vocal album at the 2024 Grammys. She also put out (Taylor’s Version) re-recordings of Speak Now and 1989 in 2023, as she embarked on her career-spanning Eras Tour.

Oasis’ Liam Gallagher Hints That 2027 Dates Could be the Band’s ‘Last’ Outing

To be fair, he didn't say definitely, just maybe.

If there’s a pot out there to stir, you can be certain that Oasis singer Liam Gallagher is going to dip his spoon in and swirl it around with gusto. Which is why it’s no surprise that less than two weeks after announcing their second run of reunion shows — slated for 2027 — Gallagher has already begun tamping down speculation about the group’s future.

When a fan claimed on Wednesday (Sept. 23) that Gallagher “once told me this isn’t a farewell tour,” Gallagher was right there with a provocative response that was definitely not what Oasis fans wanted to hear.
