Taylor Swift's eleventh album, announced at the Grammy Awards in February, was released on Friday. The Tortured Poets Department and its sixteen pieces were entitled to an extension of fifteen other titles, entitled The Anthology.
The doubts arose when the "Swiftie's" realized that the clues left by Swift, in this case extracts of lyrics, were extracts of her own lyrics. The singer confided on Thursday on Instagram that she had written so much tortured poetry over the past two years and she wanted to share it all with you, so here is the second installment, "The Anthology." Taylor Swift has been writing songs since she was a teenager, getting her start in the country capital of Nashville. By gradually moving away from this very American style, she is climbing the rankings. Her double album released Friday landed on platforms three weeks after that of another American icon, Beyonce. With perhaps, also, the new album from another music star, Billie Eilish, who will unveil her third disc, Hit Me Hard and Soft, on May 17. But all these rich and influential artists remind us at every opportunity that only music matters. Taylor Swift recently became the first artist to become a billionaire on her music alone, spoke out about her new album, saying it "reminded her that writing music is what keeps me standing." The singer's new opus, with rich country influences, could be a competitor for the next Grammy Award.
