‘Oops’ Travis Kelce unknowingly interrupts Taylor Swift as she shares voice note ahead of The Tortured Poets Department’s imminent release – and CONFIRMS it is her most EXPLICIT record yet
Taylor Swift shared a special message to fans that pre-saved her upcoming 11th album, The Tortured Poets Department, on Apple Music.
After the platform made the highly-anticipated record available to save ahead of its release next month, Swifties were thrilled to hear a voice note from the pop star, 34.
‘Hi, Apple Music, it’s Taylor,’ she said in the recording. ‘Thank you for pre-adding The Tortured Poets Department.’
She continued: ‘I’m really proud to be able to share it with you on April 19th. I can’t wait for you to hear it!’
In addition to the voice note, the album’s tracklist confirmed this would be her most explicit record yet, with seven songs containing ‘curse words or language deemed sexual, violent, or offensive in nature.’
The tracks confirmed to be explicit are Down Bad, But Daddy I Love Him, IomI, I Can Do It With A Broken Heart, The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived, Florida!!! and the title track.
Apple Music also classified the record’s genre as pop, which is the same category as some of her most beloved albums including Red, 1989, Lover, Reputation and Midnights.
Swift announced The Tortured Poets Department while accepting her 13th Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album for Midnights last month.
Overnight, her fans began attempting to link song names to her former boyfriends, including Harry Styles and Joe Alwyn.
One eagle-eyed Twitter user pointed out that there is a track called So Long, London – which could refer to British-born Joe, 32.
Another referring to Joe read: ‘so long, london, the smallest man who ever lived, my boy only breaks his favorite toys, i can fix him (no really i can) BYE JOE ALWYN.’
Another fan wrote: ‘SO LONG LONDON?? I LOVE YOU ITS RUINING MY LIFE?? Joe Alwyn count your days #THETORTUEDPOETSDEPARTMENT.’
Taylor was in a relationship with actor for six years before their shock split in early 2023.
In addition, some think the album title is a reference to Joe too and could be a savage nod to the group chat Joe shared with pals Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott.
Back in 2022, Joe revealed a mutual friend created a WhatsApp group with him and Paul called The Tortured Man Club.
They later explained to Variety that Andrew ‘started the group,’ with Paul saying: ‘He’s just on it every day. He’s just on it by himself.’
Joe jokingly added: ‘Just messaging himself good mornings.’
Fans went wild, with one penning on X: ‘THIS IS THE BREAKUP ALBUM’
Another wrote: ‘I hope for Joe’s sake that he still has that group chat. I feel like he’s gonna need it’
Others made the connection to singer Harry Styles, 30, after the tracklist was revealed.
One noted a song called ‘loml’ which could be a reference to one of Harry’s songs called Love of My Life.
A fan shared a screenshot of the songs next to each other and wrote on Twitter: ‘No im sorry…’
Another fan pointed out that one of Taylor’s new tracks is called But Daddy I Love Him – after Harry was once seen wearing a T-shirt with the logo But Daddy I Love Him on it.
The fan shared the snap of Harry in the outfit alongside the track name and excitedly wrote: ‘EXCUSE ME ?!?!!!!!!!’
Taylor and Harry dated from late 2012 until early 2013, and the star has penned several songs about him in the past.
Taylor shared the full track list for her brand new album Tortured Poets Department in February which includes collaborations with two top artists.
Post Malone and Florence + the Machine will feature on the record which will be released on April 19.
Taylor took to Instagram to share a photo of some artwork for the record, which featured a black and white photo of herself and ‘I love you, it’s ruining my life’ written over her shoulder as well as the list of songs.
Side A begins with the Post Malone collaboration, Fortnight, and is followed by the album’s title track, My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys and Down Bad.
While Side B has So Long, London, But Daddy I Love Him, Fresh Out the Slammer, and Florida!!!, with the latter song featuring Florence + the Machine.

Side C offers Guilty as Sin?, Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?, I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can), and ‘Ioml’.
The final part of the album, Side D, has I Can Do It With a Broken Heart, The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived, The Alchemy and Clara Bow.
The four bonus tracks include The Manuscript, The Bolter, The Albatross and The Black Dog.
In reference to the album’s release date, the post was simply captioned: ‘April 19 [white heart emoji].’
The Blank Space songstress announced the release of her album at the 2024 Grammy Awards.
She said in her acceptance speech: ‘I want to say thank you to the members of the Recording Academy for voting this way.
‘But I know that the way that the Recording Academy voted is a direct reflection of the passion of the fans.
‘So I want to say thank you to the fans by telling you a secret that I’ve been keeping from you for the last two years, which is that my brand new album comes out on April 19.’
At the time, Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, confirmed he has heard bits of the record.
‘I have heard some of it, yes, and it’s unbelievable,’ the Kansas City Chiefs tight end gushed at a press conference in Las Vegas, ahead of the Super Bowl, as per The Kansas City Star.
‘I can’t wait for her to shake up the world when it finally drops,’ Travis gushed.
Kelce played coy about revealing his favorite song off the new album — after Taylor shared the 17-song track list — and replied, ‘I can neither confirm nor deny that.’
Kelce did however reveal his overall favorite Taylor song.
‘Right now, I’d probably say ‘Anti-Hero’ just ’cause I hear it every single day,’ he said.
