Taylor Swift's latest album is called The Tortured Poets Department. The pop singer-songwriter's eleventh studio album has been called a "lifeline" record meant to explore the stages of grief. Fans expect the 16-track album (not counting the bonus songs) to hint at Taylor's previous relationship with now ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn. There are two collaborations on the record with prominent musicians, Florence and the Machine and Post Malone; the latter opens the album with the track, Fortnight (no affiliation with Epic's mega-popular battle royale game).
