Taylor Swift loves a surprise announcement, especially when it’s most inconvenient for her loyal supporters. Because why would a hater stay up ’til 2 a.m. for a mystery countdown? Any time past midnight is basically Swiftie o’clock; They’ll be up listening to The Tortured Poets Department anyway. Right on time, Swift announced that, oh my God, the double-album theory for the album was real. “The Tortured Poets Department is a secret DOUBLE album. I’d written so much tortured poetry in the past 2 years and wanted to share it all with you, so here’s the second installment of TTPD: The Anthology. 15 extra songs. And now the story isn’t mine anymore … it’s all yours,” wrote Swift for the big announcement. Maybe these songs will have less Matty Healy in them. Either way, this is a win; after all, theory is a big part of academia.
