Renowned lyricist Taylor Swift has recently discovered a fascinating connection to the legendary poet Emily Dickinson. Ancestry, a prominent genealogy company, revealed that Swift and Dickinson are sixth cousins, three times removed. The intriguing link stems from a shared lineage with a 17th-century English immigrant who was an early settler in Windsor, Connecticut.
Swift's ancestral roots can be traced back to Connecticut, where her family resided for six generations before eventually relocating to northwestern Pennsylvania and intermarrying with the Swift family line. This revelation adds an intriguing layer to Swift's already illustrious family history.
Excitement is building for Swift's upcoming album, 'The Tortured Poets Department,' scheduled for release on April 19. The announcement of this new record came during Swift's acceptance speech at the 2024 Grammys, where she clinched the award for best pop vocal album for her 2022 release, 'Midnights.'
Swift has been teasing fans with multiple versions of her upcoming album, with the latest edition being unveiled at her Eras Tour performance in Singapore. The final version includes a bonus track titled 'The Black Dog,' adding to the anticipation surrounding the album's release.
