We all know loads has occurred within the 34-year-old songstress’ private life over the previous few years. She broke up along with her boyfriend of six years, Joe Alwyn, in April 2023. She briefly dated The 1975 frontman Matty Healy. And then she moved on from each of these guys along with her boyfriend Travis Kelce.

It clearly has been a busy time for Tay. Naturally, although, it gave her a ton of potential content material for her subsequent album, The Tortured Poets Department! An album she apparently felt she “needed” to write down to get out all of her emotions concerning the final couple of years! During her live performance in Melbourne, Australia, on Friday, Taylor shared with the viewers how engaged on this venture was “a lifeline” for her:

“I needed to make it. It was really a lifeline for me. 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.”

Oof! She went on to tease a particular bonus music on Tortured Poets, saying:

“I wanted to show you something tonight because we’ve got an alternate cover to The Tortured Poets Department that nobody has seen and there’s an exclusive song on this vinyl called ‘The Bolter.’ This is called ‘The Bolter Edition.’ Look at that cover, it’s so tortured [and] so poetic. I wanted to show that to you here in Melbourne because you’ve just been the best that you could possibly be.”

This whole speech was then adopted up by a efficiency of You’re Losing Me — a bonus monitor off Midnights that’s largely believed to be about how her relationship with Joe fell aside. Damn. It is protected to say we should always count on some gut-wrenching and intense songs from Taylor on this subsequent album, primarily based on these easter eggs she dropped at her live performance this week!
