How to listen to Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department free | Music | Entertainment
Taylor Swift’s latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, has finally been released, and fans can stream it free with an awesome deal. The chart-topping singer-songwriter whipped fans into a frenzy when she announced her latest record at the Grammy Awards in February amid her record-breaking Eras Tour.
Now fans around the world can indulge in the album’s 16 songs, including Florida!!! featuring Florence + the Machine and its lead single, Fortnight. As if new music wasn’t enough, Swifties got an unexpected bonus when Swift made the shock announcement of a surprise double album.
Writing in a late night post on X on Friday (April 19), she said: “It’s a 2am surprise: The Tortured Poets Department is a secret DOUBLE album.
“I’d written so much tortured poetry in the past two 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.”
The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology comprises a whopping 31 new songs, with many fans noticing several apparent swipes at former boyfriend and The 1975 frontman Matty Healy, whom Taylor briefly dated last year. The album has already earned stellar reactions from fans and critics, with The Independent describing it as a “terrific reminder of her storytelling powers” in a five-star review, while Rolling Stone hailed it as “wildly ambitious and gloriously chaotic”.
This is the singer’s eleventh studio album and the first since 2022’s Midnights, which was released October 21, 2022, and fans can listen to it absolutely free with an amazing deal from Amazon.

Taylor Swift is bringing her legendary Eras Tour to Great Britain this summer, beginning on June 7 at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium. Tickets for the tour went on sale in August, 2023, and quickly sold out.
At the time of writing, a number of resale tickets have been released by Ticketmaster as well as viagogo and Vivid Seats.
Sites such as Viagogo and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that many event promoters say tickets should not be resold after initial purchase and will not be valid for admittance to gigs.
Fans attending live events with tickets acquired through resale websites are advised to double check the ticket terms and conditions at the point of sale – such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation – to ensure a smooth live event experience. Tickets could be voided if they were found to be bought second-hand. As a result, fans are buying at their own risk.
With that said, viagogo also commented: “viagogo is a regulated marketplace where fans have the guarantee.”

Disney+ is the exclusive home of the singer’s extended concert film, The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version). This gives Swifties the chance to experience the 14-time Grammy-winner’s record-breaking world tour from home.
Swift’s original ‘cinematic experience’ concert film was released in cinemas around the world in October and grossed more than $260 million worldwide at the global box office, becoming the highest-grossing concert film ever. Directed by British Grammy-nominee Sam Wrench, the new three-and-a-half-hour extended cut features five songs that were cut from the previously released versions, including ‘Cardigan’ and four bonus acoustic tracks.
Swift fans can join Disney+ from as little as £4.99 a month for its Standard with Ads plan, which shows less than four minutes of ads per hour of TV, while ads only play before a film and not during. There’s no contract with a monthly Disney+ plan and it can be cancelled any time.
But Disney+ members can get the equivalent of two months free with annual subscription, bagging 12 months for the price of 10 on the Standard or Premium plans – usually £7.99 a month and £10.99 a month respectively. A 12-month subscription to the Premium plan now costs £109.90, saving £21.98 compared to paying monthly, which would normally set you back £131.88.
Those who opt for the Premium plan also get more for their money, as it includes higher video quality up to 4K UHD and HDR, plus the ability to stream on four devices simultaneously. This is compared to 1080p Full HD and two streams on the Standard with Ads and Standard plans.
