Taylor Swift Drops Surprise Deluxe Edition of “The Tortured Poets Department” with 31 Songs, Coproduced by Jack Antonoff, Aaron Dessner and Patrik Berger

Taylor Swift surprised her fans by releasing a deluxe edition of her new album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” just two hours after the standard edition dropped at midnight ET on Friday. The deluxe version featured a total of 31 songs, including four previously teased vinyl exclusives and 27 hidden tracks.

Rumors of a double album release had been circulating earlier in the week as fans picked up on clues from Swift’s social media posts. A countdown on her website to 2 a.m. ET added to the speculation. This surprise move by Swift shocked many of her devoted fans online, but they were thrilled to discover that all additional songs were written by Swift herself and coproduced with either Jack Antonoff or Aaron Dessner, with the exception of “I Look in People’s Windows,” which was coproduced with Patrik Berger.

As a newly minted billionaire, Swift has been flexing her economic power over the past 18 months. Her worldwide Eras Tour and concert movie have helped solidify her status as the first musician to achieve billionaire status solely through songs and performances. In a bold move to promote tourism, Singapore reportedly paid nearly $3 million per show for exclusivity to the Southeast Asian leg of her Eras Tour. Both versions of the album are now available for streaming on all major platforms for fans to enjoy.
