If a new Taylor Swift album announcement was on your Grammys 2024 bingo card, congratulations! At the Grammys, she announced TS11 is coming soon: The Tortured Poets Department.
“This is my 13th Grammy, which is my lucky number, I don’t know if I’ve ever told you,” she said in her Grammys speech after winning Best Pop Vocal Album. She added that she wanted to say thank you to the fans “by telling you a secret that I have been keeping for the last few years.” The secret: The Tortured Poets Department, her 11th album, is out April 19th.
The news comes after fan theories galore that reputation (Taylor’s Version) was on the docket for the Grammys. And then the realization that it was a misdirect — “red herring” trended, an unscrambled clue from her website, which was “down” as a bit. She definitely pulled it off.

On Instagram, Taylor Swift has already shared the album cover, a very Ariana Grande-esque image of Swift lying on a bed with the album title in a serif font. In lieu of a typical longer album-related caption, she wrote simply, “All’s fair in love and poetry…”
A second slide featured what might be lyrics: “And so I enter into evidence / My tarnished coat of arms / My muses, acquired like bruises / My talismans and charms / The tick, tick, tick of love bombs / My veins of pitch black ink. All’s fair in love and poetry… Sincerely, The Chairman of The Tortured Poets Department.”
The Tortured Poets Department will have 17 tracks total, 16 regular and one bonus track called “The Manuscript.”
