Taylor Swift Fans in Tokyo Excited for New Songs, Mistakenly Believe They’re from Unreleased Album
Taylor Swift fans in Tokyo were in for a surprise during her recent concert when they mistakenly believed that the musician was going to perform two new songs from her upcoming album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” months before its release. The excitement in the crowd was palpable as Taylor announced that she would be playing two “brand new songs” that she had never performed live before. Little did they know, it was a misunderstanding that would soon be clarified.
“I really have been trying to challenge myself to play songs that I’ve never performed live or definitely haven’t done on this tour. So, I’ve selected two brand new songs I’ve never performed,” Swift said, igniting a wave of anticipation among her fans. However, she quickly realized the confusion and clarified, “Not ‘brand new’ like on a new album. I’m so sorry, I just realized what you thought I said. They’re not on the new album. Oh my god, I am so sorry.”
Despite the disappointment of not hearing unreleased tracks, Taylor Swift’s fans have plenty to look forward to. At the 2024 Grammy Awards, the singer made a surprise revelation after winning her 13th Grammy, a lucky number for her. She announced that her brand new album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” would be released on April 19th. Swift’s fans were thrilled by the news and eagerly awaited more details about the upcoming music.
In a move that delighted her fans even further, Swift released the track list for the album on Instagram just one day after the Grammy announcement. The titles of the songs have sparked speculation among fans, with many believing that they may be about her ex-boyfriend, Joe Alwyn. One song in particular, titled “So Long, London,” has caught fans’ attention, as Alwyn is from London and previously inspired her song “London Boy” from her “Lover” album. The placement of “So Long, London” as track five, a spot traditionally reserved for Swift’s most vulnerable and personal songs, only adds to the speculation.
Swift’s relationship with Alwyn ended shortly before she embarked on “The Eras Tour,” but details about their breakup have remained private. However, fans are hopeful that the upcoming album will provide insight into their split and Swift’s emotional journey. The album’s track list, featuring songs like “Down Bad,” “But Daddy I Love Him,” “I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can),” and “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys,” hints at a deeply introspective and emotional collection of songs.
While Swift’s personal life has seen its ups and downs, her love life seems to be on an upswing. She has been more public about her relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce, in contrast to her private relationship with Alwyn. In fact, after wrapping up the Tokyo leg of her “Eras Tour,” Swift will be flying to Las Vegas to support Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs at the Super Bowl. It’s clear that Swift is not only focused on her music but also finding happiness in her personal life.
As Taylor Swift continues to captivate audiences around the world with her music and performances, fans eagerly await the release of “The Tortured Poets Department.” With its emotionally charged track list and potential insights into Swift’s past relationships, it promises to be another powerful addition to her discography. Until then, fans can enjoy the excitement of her live shows and the anticipation of what’s to come.
