Taylor Swift’s Latest Announcement Throws Fans Off guard

In just two weeks time, Taylor Swift’s newest album “The Tortured Poets Department” will be released to the world.

Now, in anticipation of that new album, Swift partnered with Apple Music to create five different playlists in honor of some of the themes that will be on her new album.

The playlists seemingly follow the five stages of grief, “denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance;” a theory the Swifties have been toying with for quite some time, with each variant of the album connecting to one of the stages.

Taylor Swift has shared very little about her album after announcing it while accepting a Grammy earlier this year. She also has yet to release a single for TTPD, and people are waiting with bated breath.

If you missed it, in an ironic turn of events, Today reported last month that Swift and another very famous poet share a grandfather.

According to Today, the genealogy company known as Ancestry has discovered that Swift may have inherited her love of words. As Ancestry reports, the prolific songwriter is related to legendary poet Emily Dickinson.

“Swift and Dickinson both descend from a 17th century English immigrant. Swift’s 9th great-grandfather and Dickinson’s 6th great-grandfather who was an early settler of Windsor, Connecticut,” Ancestry told Today.

“Taylor Swift’s ancestors remained in Connecticut for six generations until her part of the family eventually settled in northwestern Pennsylvania, where they married into the Swift family line.”

Interestingly this news comes just after Swift revealed her 11th studio album “The Tortured Poets Department.” The album, rumored to be a synth-pop album, with be released on April 19.

Ancestry continued, revealing, “Taylor Swift’s ancestors remained in Connecticut for six generations until her part of the family eventually settled in northwestern Pennsylvania, where they married into the Swift family line.”

While it’s unclear if this is new information to Taylor, herself, ironically, Swift has been known to mention Dickson before. After receiving the songwriter-artist of the decade award two years ago, Swift told the audience, “If my lyrics sound like a letter written by Emily Dickinson’s great-grandmother while sewing a lace curtain, that’s me writing in the Quill genre.”

Fans also speculate that Taylor’s muse for her album “Evermore” was her cousin, Emily Dickson.
