Taylor Swift says she only revealed her new record at the Grammys because she took home the trophy.

Taylor Swift disclosed that she only announced her new album. The Tortured Poets Department at the 2024 awards event because she was the winner not because it was her original intention. The singer used the occasion to reveal the small secret to her fans as she began her first Eras Tour concerts of 2024 in Tokyo on Wednesday. In an Evermore performance video that fans uploaded, Swift said to the crowd. She had this plan in her head and she told my friends she told her Jack Antonoff Midnights producer but she hadn’t really told very many other people. She decided that she would simply go ahead and do it if she was fortunate enough to win anything tonight. She simply wanted to let you know about her new record.

And enough it proved to be the case. She contingency plan was to do it in Tokyo tonight She apologized to Tokyo Night.

Swift provided them with some further information beyond what she disclosed on Grammy Awards night. Even if those Eras goers didn’t finish up seeing the historic event at their concert.

She said, “I’ve been working on Tortured Poets since right after I turned in Midnights.”  “I’ve been working on it for almost two years now having begun right away after that. Throughout the U.S. tour. I continued to work on it and I finished it when I felt it was ready and good enough for you.

Given that Swift has been re-releasing her first six albums has been on the global Eras Tour since last March and released the record-breaking Taylor Swift The Eras Tour concert film in October most fans were surprised to learn that her next album which is scheduled for release on April 19 would be her next release. She also took the time to respond to this.
