Taylor Swift Just Dished on How Long She Has Been Working on Her New Album

Taylor Swift just gave fans more details about her new album, The Tortured Poets Department.

After winning her 13th Grammy and announcing she was releasing a new album on April 19, Swift quickly flew to Tokyo, Japan to perform as part of her history-making "Eras Tour."

While on stage, Swift gave fans the inside scoop on just how long she has been working on The Tortured Poets Department, which is rumored to be something of a "diss album" about her ex-boyfriend, Joe Alwyn.

"I've been working on Tortured Poets since right after I turned in Midnights," Swift said in a video posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, that has since gone viral.

"I've been working on it for about two years—I kept working on it throughout the U.S. tour," she continued. "And when it was perfect, in my opinion—when it was good enough for you—I finished it."
