The chairman of the Tortured Poets Department has spoken, and she’s shedding lyrical clues.
Taylor Swift took to Instagram on Sunday, April 14, to promote Target’s phantom clear vinyl edition of her The Tortured Poets Department album, commenting a cryptic quote in the procedure.
“I want I may just un-recall how we nearly had it all,” Swift, 34, wrote, probably quoting lyrics from the document.
While Swift did not additional reveal the that means of the quote or the place it’s from, social media enthusiasts have frantically been trying to get a hold of an evidence.
“Taylor’s new album has already broken me before it’s been released,” one fan wrote along Swift’s original line via X on Sunday.
Another added, “I just woke up SO hungover and the very first thing I see is ‘I want I could un-recall how a lot we nearly had all of it.’ SO THATS JUST GREAT.”
Others identified that the line is “so f—king sad” and that the LP “is going to break” everybody. Further fan theories speculate that Swift is likely referring to her past dating with Joe Alwyn, whom she dated between 2016 and early 2023.
“When I catch you, Joe,” a social media user quipped as others jokingly implored the actor, 33, to “pay for [their] therapy” when the album drops.
Swift introduced at the Grammys previous this yr that her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, can be released on April 19. The record, which she wrote once 2022’s Midnights was finished, helped her take care of a presumably difficult time.
“I needed to make [TTPD]. It used to be actually a lifeline for me,” she mentioned during a February concert in Australia. “It kind of reminded me of why songwriting is one thing that in reality gets me via existence and I’ve never had an album where I’ve needed songwriting greater than I wanted it on Tortured Poets.”

While Swift has no longer further shared her lyrical inspiration, her lovers have theorized that the album is predominately about Alwyn and their breakup in response to the song titles. The LP features tracks called “So Long, London” — Alwyn is British and the subject of Swift’s 2019 hit “London Boy” — in addition to “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” and “Fresh Out the Slammer.”
Swift, who has since moved on with NFL famous person Travis Kelce, additionally launched a couple of Apple Music playlists evaluating her past songs (pre-TTPD) to the five stages of grief. Fans think the music roundups are also nods to TTPD being a breakup album.
The Tortured Poets Department drops on Friday, April 19.
