The Tortured Poets Department is the first Swift album where she hasn’t released a single ahead of its release date, making it even more mysterious and exciting for Swifties everywhere.
She previously announced, however, that there would be 17 new songs on the album, including collaborations with Post Malone and Florence + The Machine.
It is also expected to focus on her break-up from actor Joe Alwyn, 33, who she dated for six years before their split in March last year.

It was during one of her Eras Tour concerts that Swift shared the importance of making music for her.
She said on stage: “It sort of reminded me of why songwriting is something that actually gets me through life and I've never had an album where I've needed songwriting more than I needed it on Tortured Poets.”
While the album is believed to delve into her long-term romance with Alwyn, the 34-year-old The Style singer has found new love with Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce.
The NFL star confirmed that he has already listened to some of the album and labelled it “unbelievable”.
He added: “I can't wait for her to shake up the world when it finally drops.”
