Swifties, Taylor Swift’s loyal fanbase, are experiencing a whirlwind of emotions just hours before the release of her new album “The Tortured Poets Department.” The album is set to drop at 11 p.m. CT on Thursday, and fans are eager and anxious, especially with leaked lyrics and clips already circulating online.
The album has reportedly been leaked on the internet, with fans scrambling to remove any leaks from social media platforms. Many had anticipated the album to be centered around Swift’s past relationship with Joe Alwyn, but the leaks suggest a broader focus that includes references to other exes, such as British singer/songwriter Matty Healy and Swift’s current boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
The song “The Alchemy” seems to contain lyrics about Kelce, referencing football-related terms and his connection to Swift. Fans are also speculating about potential references to Healy in the album, as their brief romance earlier this year was controversial due to Healy’s divisive public image and remarks.
Swift and Alwyn were in a six-year relationship, leading many to believe the album might focus primarily on him. They kept their relationship largely out of the public eye and were together until last April. Swift reportedly briefly dated Healy after breaking up with Alwyn, which did not sit well with many of her fans due to Healy’s controversial behavior.
The new album’s content and focus remain the subject of speculation as Swifties eagerly await its release.
