Taylor Swift fans are eagerly piecing together a lyrical puzzle ahead of her impending album release. Dubbed “The Tortured Poets Department”, it arrives this Friday.
To stir fan excitement, Swift hid solitary words from her discography across five customized Apple Music playlists uploaded last week. Collectively, they’ll decrypt a coded message by Thursday – a final pre-album revelation.
Each day, dedicated “Swifties” scour the songs for the clandestine clues. While some sleuths decipher deftly, others admit handicaps. “Riddles aren’t my strong suit. I’ll wait for the experts to connect the dots,” mentioned one fan.
Pre-orders are available now including an exclusive Phantom Clear Vinyl at Target containing bonus track “The Manuscript”. Fans can also pre-save to Apple Music and Spotify. With the album drop imminent, Swifties worldwide collaborate to crack this lyrical lock before Friday’s highly-anticipated release.
