Taylor Swift delighted night owls by unveiling a surprise second part, making it a double alb🔯um, "The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology"!

Swif▨t had teased a mysterious 2 a.m. countdown leading up to the traditional midnight release of "Tortured Poets." For Swifties, the anticipation was rewarded with an additional 15 songs added to the collection.

“It’s a 2am surprise: The Tortured Poets Department is a secret DOUBLE album,” Swift shared on🌟 Instagram. “I’d written so much tortured poetry in the past 2 years and wanted to share it all with you, so here’s the second installment of TTPD: The Anthology. 15 extra songs. And now the story isn’t mine anymore… it’s all yours.”

The ultimate, expansive edition comprises 31 songs, totaling over two hours🌺 of playing time.

For S🎀wifties, the number two holds special significance, with many noting their idol's subtle hints over the past weeks. At her Tortured Poets Spotify library exhibit in Los Angeles, a peace-sign statuette was featured, and Swift herself gestured with two fingers at the 2024 Grammys when revealing her new record. Clocks at the librꩵary pop-up and in her cryptic “Fortnight” music video announcement this week were consistently set to 2 o’clock. Additionally, the star tweeted on Wednesday, "✌️days til THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT."

Swift’s endurance is unmatched. "Tortured Poets" marks her fifth studio album in under five years, alongside four re-recorded Taylor’s Version albums. That's a total of nine fu🐽ll-length recordings since the months leading up to the pandemic. Amidst this, her grand "The Eras Tour" is presently on hiatus, set to resume next month for a summer stadium tour across the U.K. and Europe.

TayTay unveiled "The Tortured Poets Department" at the 2024 Grammy Awards in February, where she secured album of the year for a record f💎ourth time with "Midnights," her 10th studio endeavor. In that same month, Swift clinched the IFPI’s Global Recording Artist award for a fourth time, also sett♎ing a record.
