NEWSTaylor Swift Fans Warn Joe Alwyn to 'Be Careful' as Singer Admits She Never 'Needed' to Write an Album 'More' Than 'Tortured Poets Department'
"Oh my God, she's insane, she wrote a song about me," is something Taylor Swift seems to hear every time she goes through a breakup.
And while it's actually a line from her song "I Bet You Think About Me," it's likely a phrase her ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn will be saying after the release of her new album, The Tortured Poets Department, on April 19.
Taylor Swift recently announced the April 19 release date of her new album, 'The Tortured Poets Department.'
Swift opened up about the importance of her upcoming album and expressed why writing about her own personal experiences is so important to her during opening night of her set of three shows in Melbourne, Australia, on Friday, February 16.
While sitting at her piano on stage inside the filled arena, Swift admitted she was "reminded" of "why songwriting is something that actually gets me through my life," when creating the highly-anticipated track list of tunes for her 11th studio album.

The timeline of creating TTPD left fans convinced the lyrics will reflect on her split from Alwyn, as it was announced in April 2023 after they dated for six years.
