Tortured Poets Department: Taylor Swift’s Exciting Announcement
Alright, Swifties, buckle up because Taylor Swift is back at it again with another mind-blowing announcement! The queen of pop has dropped a bombshell on us with the revelation of her latest project, “The Tortured Poets Department,” and let me tell you, it’s got us all buzzing with excitement.
Decoding the Clues: 2 O’clock and More!
In classic Taylor fashion, she’s left us all scratching our heads and dissecting every little detail of her latest Instagram post. The video she shared kicks off with a clock striking 2 o’clock – a time that seems to hold significant importance. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this mysterious hour pop up in Taylor’s world; remember the coffee cup in the Karma (Remix) music video? Yup, you guessed it, it also pointed to 2 o’clock. And let’s not forget those sneaky clocks at a Spotify exhibit in Los Angeles teasing her new album – all aimed at the same time.
As the camera pans through the animated room in the video, we catch glimpses of crumpled papers scattered on the floor, vinyl variants of the “Lavender Haze” album, and four photos on the wall that Taylor herself shared on Instagram back in October 2022. The anticipation builds as we follow the camera into an office hallway, leading us to a door labeled “The Tortured Poets Department.” Intriguing, right?
The Office Reveal and Release Day
Through the keyhole, we’re transported into a sleek, marble-white office with not one, but two desks. As the camera hovers over a desk with a coffee cup (seriously, what’s with the coffee cups, Taylor?), we’re treated to a view of a cork bulletin board adorned with photos of Taylor at her Eras Tour piano announcement, along with another clock pointed at – you guessed it – 2 o’clock. The attention to detail is impeccable!
On the board, a calendar marks April 19 as “The Tortured Poets Department Release Day,” with a tantalizing note that reads “8 p.m. ET music video release!!” Could this day get any more exciting? But wait, there’s more – a tally at the bottom adding up to 14, hinting at a fortnight, or two weeks. And just when you think Taylor is done teasing us, the video hints at April 20 – Record Store Day. It’s a double whammy of music goodness!
