Taylor Swift Announces Brand New Album 'The Tortured Poets Department' | Episode 23

[@angelacatarig9451]

Someone who was in audience had a ticktock video saying that when she announced the new album everyone cheered and clapped and were so happy for her. She said the atmosphere wasn’t bad and she doesn’t think the “faces” of other artists were mean or anything.

[@Ashley-bj3sl]

they also zoomed in on all the losers of the award, like they're allowed to be disappointed.

[@Starbuck-dr7yl]

The girl in the blue dress on the stage is Laura Sisk. She is Jack Antonoff’s engineer/right hand woman. She is a part of everything Jack makes and has been a part of all their AOTY wins together.

[@mynameiskarma2518]

As a fearured artist/writer on Midnights, Lana also gets awarded a Grammy.

[@Sluxlife]

No they changed the rules

[@jenniferwistey7323]

So glad you posted early!!! I was so excited to hear both of you talking about this new album!

[@Exhausted_Emily]

Now y'all are gonna have to release another video bc she posted the tracklist for TTPD!!

[@TAYLORWATCH]

stay tuned for thursdays episode!

[@bkirstie]

43:55 perhaps she was nervous because this was maybe the first award show that Travis watched. He said he got off the plane to watch he was able to watch. Both wins.

[@Nurse1974]

I just watched a video where he said he would have loved to be able to see it but wasn’t able to watch the Grammys. The different people posting their videos have crazy stories but who knows

[@dreamchaser7603]

@@Nurse1974he said he watched her winning her 13th award and announcing new album. I saw his press conference. He also congratulated her and praised her!

[@melaneemortensen3971]

Her dress fits the timeframe you just mentioned for the album fits with the style of dress. A fancy classic old fashioned dress!! Revolutionary War!!!!!

[@Evie353]

About her outfit - my first thought was the Princess of Wales from the BAFTAs - long beautiful white dress with long black opera gloves, etc. I’m not sure if that was an intentional inspiration or a nod to British or UK something but that immediately came to mind for me. Maybe completely random. But, both beautiful women!

[@RosaMinze]

The dress also kinda reminds of bed sheets draped around her - so it perfectly ties in whit the photo in the bed on the ts11 album cover…

[@Evie353]

I wonder too if her hair was then intended to make it more an American wild child spin on British royalty? *overanalyzing* 😂

[@lynsey3961]

I’m so happy y’all are here to match my energy! It’s great when u start the episode as exited as me!!!🎉🎉🎉

[@lilubelle3455]

Olivia blew a kiss at her mother front row 😂

[@cohilsebe]

Jack antinoff said here Taylor here’s Laura or Lorna, then Taylor said thank you my sound engineer, and kinda pointed back. so I believe that’s who she was in the blue dress.

[@tracicampbell7421]

She said thank you and Celine said your welcome and I am sure Taylor was concerned

[@harryyarrow4110]

Taylor and Lana looked so gorgeous at the Grammy's;(Miley,too).She outsmarted us ,again,naturally.💜💙💜

[@Nurse1974]

Well I’m going to try to be nice about this but Miley hasn’t had anything out in like forever and I listened to the lyrics of the song and it even reminded me of something Taylor would write but I honestly felt like Taylor should have won those awards that Miley won. Happy for Miley but Tays talent and song just was more popular and I felt like was far better than Flowers. Sorry just bias I guess but I know Miley was excited and during her speech it was a little dramatic about how great she was. But just my opinion.

[@auroras333-jz3ju]

The watch necklace seems too obvious to just point to Midnights. Looking straight on it implies 3:15. March 15 is the Ides of March when Julius Caesar was stabbed in the back (as in the Shakespeare play)-so Rep coded. And her dress reminds me of a Roman toga and also the dress in Karma where she’s holding the scales. 🤡🤡🤡🕛

[@psgraya2]

Excited for the new album, sad for no REP TV..yet. 😢😅

[@AlexandraLopesFerreira-d3l]

Hear me out … during her speech she sign languages 2 with her hands … what if we get the TTPD and Rep on April 19th???

[@normapierce7642]

It will be when she does her shows in on the secon leg of the tour here

[@sierracrum6040]

My birthday is the 17th so it's a nice early bday present for age 20

[@Nana720jygi]

I feel like Taylor is going to take some time off touring in the coming year, looks like her and Travis are ready to start a family ASAP ❤😊🎉

[@devraviers3481]

I think the new album was the red herring and Rep TV will be announced in Tokyo

[@EricAriel5]

She just dropped tracklist

[@user-to2sc3cm6m]

Ok so someone who is way too good with history said that April 19th is the day that American colonists declared independence on Britain with actual shots fired (like first battle of the war). And if that's real and strategic... that is truly hilarious. Agree on the hair and dress. Eh.

[@masonr9657]

This day, immortalized in Ralph Waldo Emerson's poetry as the 'shot heard round the world,'

[@jerishuntington7202]

April 19, 1775 the first shots were fired at the Battle of Lexington and Concord which were the opening salvos in our War of Independence (FYI our Huntington Family ancestors signed #TheDeclarationOfIndependence & #TheConstitution) Please #Vote!

[@Reema-tz9ek]

47:26 it is vodka lol she is having fun before the tour

[@MermaidCore_]

😮‍💨

[@caesarq7513]

Great show. ❤ Taylor has learned that there is an infinite demand for her tour so she had no incentive to stop. I see her running this tour for the next few years playing for 6 months out of the year and 6 months off to do other things and rest. Touring is where the $ is. I also think TPS will get its own Era. It would be malpractice to not use the tour to promote the s out of the album. I think they will make cuts so it fits tho so maybe no more surprise song and a few eras get a hair cut. Taylor could literally tour for the next 3 years and make hundreds of millions of dollars a year off of it. ❤

[@weeyisidian143]

Love ths duos❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@cheerxcrazi197]

in that same video where she was like is my watch on midnight? she always was like “it’s okay it can be fixed it can be fixed” so i think something went wrong with her outfit or something and it was a last minute fix.

[@ACav704]

Im starting to think Rep TV might not come out till 2025. Fearless TV came out April 2021, Red TV released November 2021. Then Speak Now was July 2023. With Midnights came out in the middle in 2022...

[@bettysteward-anderson5647]

Best spread it all out to save the tax bite! 💰

[@kehlothack297]

54:00 “so long, london” being track 5… yeah we’re done for

[@Kelly-cl7cm]

Love y’all ❤

[@kronjohnkc]

Imagine she announced rep TV drops after the super bowl at the last Tokyo show.

[@Samiam88]

Victoria minoet has been writting bangers for others for a long time. Speaking of Ariana grande she’s wrote so many of hers

[@PauTay942]

you must listen to Court and Spark and Blue and then deep dive into all the rest.

[@Jaimeheartbeat]

I actually posted that I would rather stay with the football peeps, they are actually nicer to her (KC had a spice of 86% of people watching the grammys, now isn't that the best) and it is a more fun vibe

[@blyp12]

i really think she will release reptv on Wednesday as a surprise drop in tokyo 🤡

[@bkirstie]

THEY WILL CLOSE THE ROADS TO GET THAT GIRL TO THE AIRPORT Also, I always wonder if like the electric and plugs and stuff how do they adapt that to international stadiums? I mean she’s done it before, so they’ll do it again.

[@PauTay942]

i wonder if the two queens of singer songwriter genre talked during or after the show. Joni was there Taylor was there.

[@nilay_nur]

Joni said some really mean things about Taylor in the past so it's very unlikely that they did

[@teresaspedaliere6114]

i think it might be the end of the "eras". and shes just gonna start fresh

[@Mrs.Currie]

Is it still a tweet if it's not called twitter anymore? 😮🤔

[@bkirstie]

11:44 ohhhhhhh trav knew yall. 😂

[@Nana720jygi]

These ladies have no clue about vintage fashion icons like Taylor Swift wore to the Grammys, and those black long gloves, she looked out of space and time, very gorgeous and unique, a lot of people expected her to wear the usual everyday outfit, but Taylor is not like the normal girl, she's always dares to be different, that's what makes her, Taylor ❤😊

[@cherylreinell857]

There was nothing wrong with the dress. It was lovely. Not everyone agrees with you.

[@bkirstie]

I think she looks cuter in her short skirt and chief sweatshirt

[@Nurse1974]

Did some say something about her dress? I thought it was breathtaking

[@elizapiotter1396]

@@Nurse1974 It looked like a wedding dress

[@Kmbri]

Aaaghhh Travis talked about hearing the new album in his Super Bowl interview on cbs sports!! It’s at the 2:20 mark. So excited!!!

[@MartyConner]

Swift branding herself as a highly intellectual, dark, tortured poet for this next era while dating a braindead obnoxious jock who can’t even spell the word “busy” and thinks fart jokes are peak comedy. you just can’t make this crap up.

[@alyssaallan8833]

I may be REACHING but considering the topic of this new album,😅 could Taylor's outfit been a kind of nod that Joe liked "pieces" of her but not the whole package? I mean, she's not AWFUL at fashion anymore. Everyone is saying they like pieces of her outfit, but not the whole thing together... So..?

[@elizapiotter1396]

I was thinking that

[@Samiam88]

Maybe the surprise songs will just be off the new alblum now.

[@Diana-ze8wu]

That thing is heavy if you don’t feel good and have whatever the ailment she has. Js

[@RattMum]

Unpopular op: I dont listen to Beyonce any more. I find her stuff unrelateable and hard to listen to. Partly due to what she's singing about and the style. Taylor i can put on repeat.

[@dreamchaser7603]

Agree!! She should show her vocals and lyricism more!! Her last few albums don’t make sense if it’s not a live performance. It’s more like a dance/theatrical performance rather than actual songs.

[@PauTay942]

the grammy awards are peer voted.

[@bkirstie]

42:19 KELLY. YES YES YES. Taylor, more than any other artist always goes out of her way to talk about another artist or complement another artist or person. I feel really badly for Taylor, but it was a bad look. 😢

[@bonnie9131]

I didn't like the back edges. Love the jewelry and the gloves but I feel a fifties updo would have been right. On the other hand, Taylor just do you, I am enchanted.

[@RosaMinze]

Ts11: Also the logo for the album has a half ☯️ ying yang sign in the P and D: Ts11 being the lost karma album and therefore the other/ 🤍 white part to the 🖤 black reputation album… She had to Announce it before rep tv, so the lost karma ts 11 album is in the right order now like it was supposed to.🤓

[@marianagoncalves5455]

To the girl in the right: you don't need to say "yeah" all the time

[@Bcolorado]

My Theories What if TTPD ventures into politics & "FLORIDA!!!" is about gender and sexual Identity/ women's rights/ autonomous decisions & the repressive state where "THE SMALLEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED" lives - hence "WHOS AFRAID OF LITTLE ME" The innocence of childhood, the magic of Disney, power of inspirational women, and of course poetry. Two is a recurring theme. Side A Fortnight (feat. Post Malone): Prequel to “The One”, inclusive of the sp. variations Childhood sleepovers/ Fort Night, video game, & Winter & Spring breaks ( 2 weeks) The Tortured Poets Department: (26 letters/2) My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys: Benjamin Button Down Bad: Football, Brads And Dads Side B So Long, London But Daddy I Love Him: Disney Vs. Desantis (HB1557 March 2022) Little Mermaid Fresh Out the Slammer: Rebound Love with nothing left to give Florida!!! (Florence + the Machine) Side C Guilty as Sin? Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?: Virginia Woolf (13) book “Orlando” about gender as a love letter to Vita Sackville-West I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can) loml: Not by Celine Dion Side D I Can Do It With a Broken Heart: Inspirational Empowerment The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived The Alchemy: The Magic of Love/ Passion/ Disney Clara Bow: The “IT” Girl, Roaring 20’s (tossing pennies) The Manuscript: Emily Dickinson

[@StoneColdSteveAutism95]

I was disappointed that Lana didn't win. I thought her album was way better than Midnights

[@meaginri]

Omggggggg

[@indierock79]

This week's controversy. There will be a new one next week

[@philliplutes8201]

I love you girls but one did not agree with travis relationship and other one was bs about the relationship bs it was real from start bad swifties

[@dreamchaser7603]

Beyoncé should show her vocals and lyricism more!! Her last few albums don’t make sense unless it’s a live performance. It’s more like a dance/theatrical performance rather than actual songs. I miss her unique and emotional voice shining and sparkling ✨And dark cultish symbolism doesn’t help… I blame Jay Z for it and miss her early albums.

[@tvil8]

100%

[@joslynw2645]

Can he be fired Fr tho ?

[@dreamchaser7603]

Madison Beer looked amazing!! Also, Olivia Rodrigo looked fab🤩 Olivia was snubbed so bad…😢All of my predictions came true aside from AOTY I, honestly, think it should have been Guts/SOS!! I didn’t like the way Lana was treated there… like she is Taylor’s support group… Meanwhile, she is an icon and a living legend!! Taylor is a stronger business person and a pop star overall but Lana is a stronger lyricist!

[@bkirstie]

too many expectations of taylor (im guilty)

[@bkirstie]

JOCKEY undies here

[@Reema-tz9ek]

I think reputation and debut tv gonna be 2025 cause she not gonna take new album moment Also she have pattern with 2021: 2 tvs. 2022: new album 2023: 2 tvs and now 2024 new album the last 2 has to be 2025

[@froggierobinmulligan4674]

Taylor seemed disingenuous when accepting her first award... I do wish she would have announced her new album release after the awards ceremony. Felt cringy. Despite it I am always Team Taylor :)

[@harmoonizellc]

Love this and Dontae and all the all shit talkers sound like lames, sorry you are dealing with that, sending love and positive energy to you both!

[@lenstgelais7376]

She announced a brand new album and totally ignored and didn’t look at the living legend Céline Dion who is humility and class personified clearly qualities that Taylor should strive for I tell you in my book she’s never gonna be at the level of a Céline Dion

[@SuperJudeM]

I think the bruises, tick tick tick, love bomb are song names 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@normapierce7642]

Drop donte you girls don't need peapol lake that

[@jmimosa4]

The biggest issue is that a black woman hasn't won Album of the Year since 1999, Lauryn Hill. The grammys to make up for not giving them 1 of the big 3, they just give them R&B category awards. If I'm being honest, I don't think Midnights is Taylor's best work, and there were several albums on that list that were better.

[@topcow23]

The devil lol

[@Touchlineofficials]

You sound like Miley Cyrus when she talks

[@PauTay942]

i didnt like the styling either. she looked disheveled and i just didnt like it. great news on the new album and midnights winning aoty.

[@elizapiotter1396]

Travis LIKED it

[@Diana-ze8wu]

Imo considering Celine. She DID know it was Celine. She didn’t want to go over the time, she was surprised, and that thing weighs a few pounds, she didn’t want to leave Celine standing there holding it AND she knew she’d see her in a few seconds. It’s all fine everyone 💗🫶🏻🥂

[@Greeneggsnblam]

That’s why she hugged everyone on stage while Celine stood there holding the trophy

[@Diana-ze8wu]

I was laughing at a comment from a dude football fan I know. When I saw him after the Championship game he asked: Did you see that Taylor Swift is gonna win the Super Bowl this year? We cracked up because she wins a lot of stuff but who saw this coming? 😂🎉🫶🏻🥂

[@MillennialSwiftie]

I don't think the Celine thing is that big of a deal. People need to drop it. Also, I need another episode of y'all going over the track list! She's about to send William Bowery to an early grave. 🪦😂

[@angelaamberaa8365]

Im sorry but why is gia even here?! She always seems like she just woke up & gives nothing. Hard watch tbh🫣
