Taylor Swift: Fans react as new album is apparently ‘leaked’
Taylor Swift fans have been sent into something of a frenzy after her new album, The Tortured Poets Department, appears to have leaked online early.
Many people have shared the tracks on social media, with some saying they came from a Google Drive link containing the whole 17-song list.
While some Swifties have dived straight in, others insisted true fans will wait for the official release on Friday.
The BBC has approached Swift’s representatives for comment.
The singer announced the existence of her 11th studio album at February’s Grammy Awards. It is her first collection of entirely new material since October 2022’s Midnights.
On X, formerly Twitter, some fans were quick to say they wouldn’t be indulging in the music ahead of schedule; while others flooded the site with false links to “bury” the apparent leak and stop people finding it.
“Raise your hand if you’re an ACTUAL Taylor Swift fan and aren’t listening,” wrote one social media user.
