"Did Taylor Swift just drop a 31-song album with no skips..."
If you didn't know already, Taylor Swift's hotly-anticipated album "The Tortured Poets Department" launched this Friday the 19th of April. Its midnight launch (EST) was followed by the addition of 15 surprise tracks two hours later, and yes, fans HAVE been going wild. Here are 31 (teehee) of the best Tweets about the secret double album:
It’s a 2am surprise: The Tortured Poets Department is a secret DOUBLE album. ✌️ I’d written so much tortured poetry in the past 2 years and wanted to share it all with you, so here’s the second installment of TTPD: The Anthology. 15 extra songs. And now the story isn’t mine… pic.twitter.com/y8pyDK8VTd

“Taylor Swift, right, was born on 13th December. Add 13 and 12 together you get 25, yeah? Her new album has 31 tracks, add that on you get 56. Now, ‘Taylor Swift’ has 11 letters so subtract 11 from 56 and you get 45. You know who wore 45 don't you? Mario Balotelli...” pic.twitter.com/dnc8Bml6Qt

Kinda convinced Taylor just wants to shut us up with the double album theories because now that we have 31 songs I’m scratching my head like damn this is kind of overwhelming I need time to process the first one and she’s probably just like yeah no shit but you guys wanted this

the funniest thing about new taylor swift albums is how I never actively learn the new lyrics they all just sort of absorb into my brain and 2 days later I can recite them a capella without even thinking
