After surprising the Swifties with the announcement of her new album, The Tortured Poets Department, during her acceptance speech at the GRAMMYs, followed by sharing the album cover on IG after, Taylor Swift proceeded to casually drop the album’s tracklist the following night.

So let’s get into it.
Out April 19, The Tortured Poets Department, is set to boast 16 tracks, plus a bonus song called “Manuscript.” The album will be divided into 4 sides. With 4 songs for each “side,” Side A, includes the first of only two songs with features, “Fortnight” with Post Malone.

For the IG announcement, Swift shared a photo of what appears to be the backside visual of the physical record. Featuring another black and white photo of the superstar, the words “I LOVE YOU, IT’S RUINING MY LIFE” written across. Right next to the image written amongst the tracklist, it reads “File Name - The Manuscript” above, and “From The Desk of Taylor Swift” below.
Obviously, the internet has already begun to spiral and speculate as to which songs are about a certain London boy, and even if certain ones are about one or two of Tay Tay’s less recent exes. But obviously we’ll all have to wait for the songs to actually drop in order to have a better idea, but ultimately continue to guesstimate what/whom certain tracks are about.
April 19 can’t come soon enough.
