Theories over content started after someone spotted the singer’s „last will and testament“ at a pop-up exhibition for her new album.
Taylor Swift is dropping a new album on Friday and her fans think there is a very dark meaning behind it, with theories going viral online.
The Tortured Poets Department is Swift’s 11th studio album and many of the Swifties— the name of her mega-fans—believe it is a „post-mortem“ of her relationship with actor Joe Alwyn.
Swift dated the actor for six years, which has been her longest relationship so far, and they broke up some time in March 2023. The popstar is now in a high-profile relationship with Kansas City Chiefs‘ tight end Travis Kelce.
Fans developed the theory about the album being a post-mortem after some of them scoured a pop-up exhibition for clues. Spotify hosted The Tortured Poets Department-themedexhibit in Los Angeles on April 17.
People could walk through a library-themed room with boundless clues, which the Swifties have been hard at work decoding ever since.
Some of the exhibit’s installations included the revelation that new music would drop on the same day as the new album, books with old Swift song lyrics, vases with dried flowers that were a nod to some of her previous songs, such as „Lavender Haze“ and many more.
