As the release date of Taylor Swift's "The Tortured Poets Department" gets closer, the Swift band continues to come up with new theories. Some fans believe Swift will release "Fortnight" on Friday, April 5, as the album's first single.
Swift hasn't released a lead single ahead of an album since 2019's "Lover ." That's understandable when it comes to her 2020 albums Folklore and Evermore , which were released just 16 hours before their release. But she 's keeping up the same tradition with "Midnight," which was announced two months before it went off the air.
She also adopted this approach on her last three re-recorded albums , Red (Taylor's Version) , Speak Now (TV) , and 1989 (TV) , without even giving fans a single before the album was released. New songs. Given that The Tormented Poet is due to arrive in two and a half weeks, it looks like she's doing the same thing again.
However, some fans believe Swift may be returning to her old pattern of previewing new songs before the album is released. The word "two weeks" means a period of two weeks, and April 5th marks two weeks before the release of "Tortured Poets," making it a mathematically pleasing day to release the song.
The rumor has been circulating for weeks, with one Swiftie recently declaring on Reddit, "I'm taking the train for two weeks this week." Another Reddit fan suggested the opposite, and in theory a "biweekly" video could It will premiere on May 3, two weeks after the album's release.
Regardless of whether Swift once again decides to release a new song ahead of an album release, many fans seem to agree that "Fortnight" could be the lead single from Tortured Poets due to its status as the opener and its association with Post Malone cooperate.
From "Folklore , " "Evermore " and "Midnights ," Swift premiered the music video for the first single on the same day the album was released. If "Fortnight" doesn't drop on April 5 as some fans predict, you can expect her debut video for "Tortured Poets" when the album finally drops on April 19.
