Music superstar Taylor Swift has teased her upcoming ‘Fortnight’ music video on social media, in which fellow musician Post Malone also stars. According to Swift, the music video will be released at 8pm ET on April 19. In the teaser, Swift and Malone can be seen scouring files, throwing objects, and embracing one another on the road. The short clip, which features predominantly black and white with flames and embers for effect, precedes Swift’s first single to be drawn from her upcoming album, The Tortured Poets Department.
Following a leaked ‘Tortured Poets’ lyric at a recent Spotify event, it appears that the album’s concept draws inspiration from grief’s five stages: bargaining, depression, denial, anger and acceptance. By the stages’ representation, there are five exclusive Apple Music playlists to go with each one. Swift has previously referred to ‘Tortured Poets’ as “really a lifeline for [her]” as the album details some of the things the artist has been going through recently.
After the album release, Swift will begin her multiple-date Eras Tour in Europe next month, followed by locations in Ireland and the UK. As part of the tour, Swift will play at Wembley Stadium in London for eight nights this summer, supported by popular band Paramore. For those looking forward to the upcoming album, it promises to be Swift’s eleventh studio production, with her previous Midnights studio offering winning a coveted Grammy award.
Swift’s latest album, which has an air of intrigue, confusion, emotion, and memory, will likely thrill her fans and attract new listeners alike. More details on The Tortured Poets Department, including the album’s official calendar release, may be revealed in the coming days
