After she revealed the title of the album, many were reminded of her ex Joe Alwyn‘s group chat name that was very similar, “The Tortured Man Club.”

“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,” Taylor wrote on Instagram. “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,” she concluded, followed by declaring the album is out now.

Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn aren’t “in touch” now — and don’t plan to be anytime soon!
Taylor Swift fans were thrown for a loop by The Tortured Poets Department being way more about Matty Healy than Joe Alwyn.
Taylor Swift has become the first artist to have a dozen number one albums in the UK in the 21st century.The pop sensation, 34, achieved this feat with her latest album, the Tortured Poets Department, which she dropped last week as a surprise "secret" double album, subtitled the Anthology, featuring fifteen bonus tracks.Taylor's previous chart-toppers include Red, 1989, Reputation, Lover, Folklore, Evermore, Fearless (Taylor's Version), Red (Taylor's Version), Midnights, Speak Now (Taylor's Version) and 1989 (Taylor's Version). And now the Grammy Award winner's newest album has been added to the list, according to the Official Charts Company.The album, rumoured to contain nods to her ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn, reportedly became the first to achieve more than 300 million streams in a single day on Spotify upon its release on April 19, reports the Mirror.
Taylor Swift fans have yet another theory about her relationship with Matty Healy — but this one feels like a huuuge stretch!
Taylor Swift on her new album.The boozer, which is based in Vauxhall, south London, is mentioned by the pop star in the song ‘The Black Dog’ from the extended ‘Anthology’ edition of ‘The Tortured Poets Department’.“And your location, you forgot to turn it off/ And so I watch as you walk/ Into some bar called The Black Dog/ And pierce new holes in my heart/ You forgot to turn it off,” Swift sings. “And it hits me/ I just don’t understand/ How you don’t miss me/ In The Black Dog….”The track is thought to address Swift’s ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn, who lives in the same area as the pub (and inspired 2019’s ‘London Boy’).
When The Tortured Poets Department turned out to be way more about Matty Healy than Joe Alwyn, most casual Taylor Swift fans were confused. After all, she had been with Joe for six years! That thing with the singer from The 1975 was a month-long fling! Right?
slammed Taylor Swift on the heels of her “The Tortured Poets Department” album release.“She fascinates me as a sort of phenomenon because she is so popular,” Tennant, 68, said while speaking at the Guardian Live event “An Evening with Pet Shop Boys” in London on Monday, per The Independent.“I sort of like the whole thing but then think, ‘Where are the famous songs? What is Taylor Swift’s Billie Jean?'”He went on: “‘Shake it Off’? Is it though? I listened to that the other day and it is not ‘Billie Jean.’”Swift, 34, dropped her 11th studio album on April 19, which included a whopping 31 new songs seemingly about multiple ex-boyfriends, including Joe Alwyn, Matty Healy and John Mayer.Swift’s fans often theorize who she’s writing about with her lyrics and Easter eggs. She and Healy, 35, briefly dated last summer after her six-year relationship with Alwyn, 33, ended.
Taylor Swift has built her career on writing songs about her personal life. Many of those songs reference her relationships with her very famous exes, such as John Mayer, Taylor Lautner, Calvin Harris, Joe Jonas, Jake Gyllenhaal, Tom Hiddleston, and many others. In her most recent album, The Tortured Poets Department, she sings about her fling with Matty Healy as well as her long-term relationship with Joe Alwyn.
Matty Healy is breaking his silence on ex Taylor Swift’s new double album, “The Tortured Poets Department” — and revealing if he actually pressed play on the new tracks.The 1975 frontman, 35, was approached by paparazzi in L.A. on Wednesday and asked how he would “rate” his “Taylor diss track” compared to others she has written about.“My diss track? Oh!” he replied.“I haven’t really listened to that much of it but I’m sure it’s good.”Swifties were quick to theorize what songs Swift penned about Healy, whom she briefly dated last year.
Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys has taken a pop at Taylor Swift, saying her tunes don't match up to classic hits from superstar Michael Jackson.
delivered unto us last week and while the reviews have been an extreme mix, the fanfare is without equal. The Post’s Chuck Arnold writes, “There is plenty of “Bad Blood” spilled on Swift’s latest. And with the raw honesty and specificity of her lyrics, she is clearly in her ‘IDGAF’ era.” Her ‘TTPD,’ era sees Swift take aim at exes and enemies Kim Kardashian, Matt Healy and stand-out British sad boy, ladies and gentlemen Joe Alwyn.
Taylor Swift’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ has been swamped by Swifties.Swift dropped the album yesterday (April 19), before later revealing that it is in fact a double album, sharing 15 additional tracks. She has also released the official video for the single ’Fortnight’, which features Post Malone.One unexpected side effect of the album’s release has seen hundreds of Swift fans flock to The Black Dog in Vauxhall, South London, after Swift sang about it on the song of the same name.“And your location, you forgot to turn it off / And so I watch as you walk / Into some bar called The Black Dog / And pierce new holes in my heart,” she sings.The song is thought to address her ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn, who lives in the same area as the pub.The staff at The Black Dog are now frantically searching through their CCTV archives to try to find any evidence of either Swift or Alwyn visiting the premises in the past.A post shared by The Black Dog Vauxhall (@theblackdogvauxhall)“This is the Taylor Swift Effect – anything she touches goes viral,” said Amy Cowley, who works at the pub (via the Standard).
Taylor Swift has officially dropped her first music video off of her 11th studio album, “The Tortured Poets Department.”The 34-year-old musician released her new music overnight Friday, with a second batch of songs at 2 a.m., making it a surprise double album.The track features Post Malone and is rumored to be about Matty Healy, as “Fortnight” means a two-week span. She briefly dated the 1975 frontman following her split from Joe Alwyn after six years.“I was supposed to be sent away but they forgot to come and get me/I was a functioning alcoholic ‘til nobody noticed my new aesthetic,” she sings.“All of this to say I hope you’re OK, but you’re the reason/And no one here’s to blame but what about your quiet treason,” she goes on.
Swift dropped her highly anticipated album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” Betches Media shared an Instagram carousel of images with a meme of “Dance Moms” star Abby Lee Miller holding up pieces of paper listing some of Swift’s famous exes.As her current boyfriend, Travis Kelce, was at the top of the pyramid, Taylor Lautner, Harry Styles, Tom Hiddleston, Calvin Harris, Joe Alwyn, Jake Gyllenhaal and Matty Healy followed.Notably, Harris, Alwyn, Gyllenhaal and Healy were the four on the bottom.Even more, Swift “liked” a “Hunger Games” meme that jokingly showed Alwyn as a dead tribute in the franchise. “Every time we get a new lyric the hunger games cannon goes off,” the tweet that Betches Media shared read.Swift actually collaborated with The Civil Wars for The Hunger Games’ “Safe & Sound” in 2012.Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, meanwhile, began dating over the summer.
Taylor Swift‘s fans are always pouring over her lyrics for clues about her personal life, and things are no different with the release of her newest album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” Before her world-famous relationship with Travis Kelce that was debuted this year, Swift had a long-term romance with British actor Joe Alwyn, and then a relatively short rebound with Matty Healy, frontman of the 1975. Most of the material was written and recorded before Swift and Kelce became an item, so he isn’t a key player in the album, although he makes a key late entry, assuming no one else drove her to use football metaphors for the first time.
Taylor Swift has name-dropped a person called ‘Lucy’ in her latest album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’, and fans have begun speculating who it could be.The star’s 11th studio album arrived today (April 19) and earlier this morning Swift announced that it is, in fact, a double album and shared the remaining tracks.Since its release, fans have taken to social media to suggest that the record is about her six-year relationship with actor Joe Alwyn, as well as her brief romance with The 1975‘s frontman Matty Healy.However, it is during the second song of the album – the title track – that one line in particular has caught the attention of fans, as the pop icon goes on to refer to a person called ‘Lucy’.In the song, Swift criticises her partner’s “self-sabotaging” behaviour, and makes reference to him “coming undone” – a line which some fans are convinced is about Healy and his infamous string of controversies.In the track, Swift goes on to recall how the lover in question once told “Lucy” that he would take his own life if Swift left him.“Sometimes I wonder if you’re gonna screw this up with me, but you told Lucy you’d kill yourself if I ever leave,” she sings, also adding: “And I had said that to Jack about you so I felt seen, everyone we know understands why it’s meant to be, because we’re crazy.” In the latter, fans speculate that the reference to ‘Jack’ may be a nod to Jack Antonoff, who is Swift’s longtime collaborator and producer of the album.Ultimately, fans seem convinced that the ‘Lucy’ referenced in the title track is Lucy Dacus – a third of the Grammy-winning group boygenius and someone who has connections to both Swift and Healy.Dacus had a friendship with Healy for years, as did boygenius bandmate Phoebe
