It’s been over a year since we got an album from Taylor Swift. On April 19, the first anniversary of The Tortured Poets Department came and went, and I think we need to take a minute to appreciate it and this milestone.
On April 19, 2024, Taylor Swift released The Tortured Poets Department and then quickly expanded on it with The Anthology. We got 31 new songs from the singer via this double album, and fans immediately fell in love with TTPD and its dramatic, loving, poetic and heartbreaking lyrics.
relationship with Travis Kelce – and an intense moment of professional success, and it was done masterfully.
To make matters even better, she added TTPD to her Eras Tour setlist, which changed the concert in a significant way that fans adored.
With all that in mind, it surprises me that there wasn’t much fanfare for this album’s big anniversary.
While Taylor Nation posted quite a bit about TTPD’s big day and Swifties’ celebrated online, Taylor Swift hasn’t posted on her personal Instagram grid since December 11, 2024, when The Eras Tour ended. She’s been keeping a low profile since then and is taking a much-deserved break and spending time with her boyfriend. Other than her appearance at the Grammys in February, we really haven’t seen her publicly, and there was no big celebration for TTPD or anything else.
So, this milestone came and went in April, and now it’s onto the next.
At the moment, Taylor Swift is taking it easy and keeping a low profile. However, among Swift’s upcoming projects, we have re-releases of Reputation and Taylor Swift, and fans are eagerly awaiting these (Taylor’s Versions). We have no clue when they’ll come out, though, especially since the singer has stayed pretty quiet for the last five months.
When she comes back, though, you know it’ll be in a big way. Like announcing a brand new album at the Grammys big. So, for now, let’s celebrate The Tortured Poetes Department and Swift’s last incredibly successful run of albums while we get excited for what’s next.
