Tonight all these lives converge here
The mosaics of laughter and cocktails of tears
Where fraternal souls sing identical things
And it’s beautiful
It’s rapturous.
It is frightening.

I can’t tell you how proud I am to share this with you, an album that just feels so right. A forever thank you goes out to my mentors and friends Max and Shellback for helping me paint this self portrait.
If you thought the big show was wild, perhaps you should come and take a look behind the curtain...

It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time
It's you and me
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
What if I told you I'm back?
It's fearless. It's you and me
It's been a long time coming
Big reputation
It's been a long time coming
And they said, "Speak now"
It's been a long time coming
Into folklore
MY NAME IS TAYLOR AND

Straight from THE
TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT
It's been a long time coming
Hey
It's been a long time coming

Lovin' him was red
It's been a long time coming
Red, red. It's you and me
It's been a long time coming
Meet me at midnight
Lover

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING, BUT
IT'S YOU AND ME, THAT'S MY WHOLE WORLD

Music really can be medicine.
2 years ago I felt like I had absolutely no idea who I was. A year ago I couldn’t step into a studio without falling into complete panic. So to be here right now with 12 beautiful finished songs feels like such a gift.
Honestly thank god for my friends and family. Life can be brutal but having a small group of people you deeply trust to walk you through makes it so much better. I have no idea how I would have made it through the last couple years let alone make an album without you.

All of my Friends and Family, thank you for loving on me so hard ♥️
And to you guys who have been so unbelievably supportive and patient and loving thank you from the bottom of my heart. I really hope you love this album, I do.
I really really do.
I hope it makes you feel warm and close to the earth like it does for me.

"Merci, Lyon!! We loved playing for you, dancing with you, and singing with you in the rain! Yep we had our first official 🌧️ RAIN SHOW 🌧️ of the European leg of The Eras Tour!! Loved every minute of both shows. See you 🔜 Edinburgh…"
- Taylor Swift (2024) #LyonTSTheErasTour
This post is dedicated to the new Tortured Poets section of the Eras Tour (aka Female Rage The Musical!) and everyone who made these memories so magical. To my crew, fellow performers, and band who worked tirelessly in their break to concoct this surprise for you - but mostly for the fans in Paris. I’m so thankful that it was you we got to show this to for the first time because you gave us so much excitement, passion, and love. I’m SO fired up to play this for every crowd on the tour. See you very soon, Stockholm! 🤍

My mind is blown. I’m completely floored by the love you’ve shown this album.
2.6 million ARE YOU ACTUALLY SERIOUS?? Thank you for listening, streaming, and welcoming Tortured Poets into your life. Feeling completely overwhelmed.
I was already so fired up to get back to the tour but you doing THIS?? May 9th can’t come soon enough 🤍
The Tortured Poets Department. An anthology of new works that reflect events, opinions and sentiments from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time - one that was both sensational and sorrowful in equal measure. This period of the author’s life is now over, the chapter closed and boarded up. There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed. And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self-inflicted. This writer is of the firm belief that our tears become holy in the form of ink on a page. Once we have spoken our saddest story, we can be free of it.
And then all that’s left behind is the tortured poetry.
