Taylor Swift's Tortured Poets Department album will be released on Friday 19th April. Here's when it comes out in your country.
Swifties, it's almost time for the final board meeting! Taylor Swift's 'The Tortured Poets Department' album is just hours away from being released, but what time does it come out?
'The Tortured Poets Department', also known as 'TTPD', is Taylor's 11th studio album (!) and is set to reexamine her relationship and break-up with Joe Alwyn. Speaking about writing the album on The Eras Tour, Taylor described it as a "lifeline", adding: "It sort of reminded me of why songwriting is something that actually gets me through life and I’ve never had an album where I’ve needed songwriting more than I needed it on Tortured Poets."
'The Tortured Poets Department' will bring 20 brand new songs (including 4 mysterious bonus tracks) to the table, with features from Post Malone and Florence and the Machine. Taylor's longtime collaborators Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner have also co-written various songs.
So, for those wanting to be among the very first to listen when the album drops, here's exactly when 'The Tortured Poets Department' comes out in your country.
Taylor Swift shares cryptic message
Much like Taylor's previous album releases, The Tortured Poets Department will be released at midnight ET (00:00 AM ET), on Friday 19th April. It will drop everywhere at once, which means it will become available to Swifties all over the world at the corresponding time in your country.
For fans in the UK, The Tortured Poets Department will drop at 5 AM BST – set your alarms early!

The mere thought of having 20 brand new Taylor Swift songs to obsess over?! We can barely contain ourselves. 'TTPD' is set to be chock full of emotional bops and powerful lyrics (there doesn't appear to be a single 'Glitter Gel Pen' bouncy pop track in sight on this album!)
The longest song on the album is 'But Daddy I Love Him' which clocks in at 5 minutes and 40 seconds, while the shortest is 'I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)' coming in at 2 minutes 36 seconds. And if you're wondering, Aaron Dessner has joined forces with Taylor to write the highly anticipated Track 5, 'So Long, London'.
Here's the full Tortured Poets Department tracklist, plus the features and all the track lengths:
The four bonus tracks will only be available to listen to on the specific vinyl variants that they're released on. The name of each vinyl variant corresponds with the name of the bonus song.
These songs will not be available on streaming nor will they feature on the standard physical editions of the album, which means you won't be able to hear them unless you have a physical copy.
Swifties will no doubt share snippets and lyrics on social media in the hours following the release so keep your eyes peeled on your timelines!
