Taylor Swift shocked her fans early Friday morning by releasing a second half of her much-anticipated album 'The Tortured Poets Department.' After the first 16 songs were made available at midnight, a countdown appeared on her website indicating something else would be coming at 2 a.m. ET. Shortly after 2 a.m., Swift announced that 'Tortured Poets' is a 'secret double album.
Earlier in the evening, her official fan account, Taylor Nation, responded to a fan who noticed none of the lyrics from a Spotify pop-up event in Los Angeles this week had been featured in the album. “That’s weird,” the account posted at 1:21 a.m. ET, adding a new hashtag, #TTPDBoardMeeting.
