Taylor Swift fans have figured out the exact dates that she recorded some of her songs from The Tortured Poets Department.
Many of the songs on the album were recorded at Electric Lady Studios in New York City, where Taylor was constantly spotted over the past year while on breaks from the Eras Tour.
At the time, no one knew that Taylor was recording a brand new album and most fans assumed she was working on the Taylor’s Version albums for Taylor Swift and Reputation, which are still on the way.
After Taylor‘s songwriter and producing partner Jack Antonoff shared a series of photos and videos of the singer recording various songs, fans figured out exactly when the songs were recorded thanks to her outfits.

Of all the unpredictable creative exchanges Jack Antonoff has experienced, only one has been digitally immortalized forever — and it was the one. During sessions for Taylor Swift’s 2017 album, Reputation, there was a moment where she was so charged from the magic in the room that she literally screamed — as fans saw in a video she captured on her phone.
Antonoff had been staggering his way through the epic bridge on “Getaway Car.” “I’m in a getaway car, and I’m losing my … something,” the artist-producer offered. The pair...

I completed my undergrad at a small liberal arts college in the Midwest best known for its literary reputation, where tortured writers weren’t relegated to a mere department, but were, instead, about one-fifth of the entire student body. Having edited one of the student lit mags there, I share Taylor Swift’s love-hate relationship with would-be poets who define themselves via affected personality quirks and a refusal to complete a second draft.
What’s most odd about The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology, then, is that Swift spends less time delving into what makes people like this tick than she does in imitating and then succumbing to their affectations. It’s the first of the singer-songwriter’s albums since her pivot toward full-on pop that would have been improved by an editor—or, more pointedly, by collaborators with the wherewithal to challenge some ideas that just don’t work.

On Friday, Paste Magazine uploaded a review of Taylor Swift’s new album, The Tortured Poets Department. The author of the review, “Taylor Swift Strikes Out Looking on The Tortured Poets Department,” remains anonymous after fans threatened a writer in 2019 for their review of Swift’s other album, Lover, in 2019.
Editor’s Note: There is no byline on this review due to how, in 2019 when Paste reviewed ‘Lover,’ the writer was sent threats of violence from readers who disagreed with the work. We care more about the safety of our staff than a name attached to an article.

Less than 24 hours after the release her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, Taylor Swift has dropped the music video for the opening track, “Fortnight.” Produced by perennial collaborator Jack Antonoff and featuring Post Malone, the midtempo synth-pop track revolves around former lovers who are now married to other people and living not-so-blissfully next door to each other.
Written and directed by Swift, the video takes a more metaphorical approach to the song’s subject matter. The black-and-white clip opens with the singer chained to a bedframe suspended on the wall of a lopsided prison cell. She wipes her makeup off with a cloth, revealing Post’s signature face tattoos.
Dressed in gothic, Poor Things-style attire, Swift and Post are then seen typing love letters in a sterile, Severance-coded office—a sort of relationship rehabilitation center where they’re tasked with reliving happier memories of each other. The effects-laden...

Emma Stone helped good pal Taylor Swift with a song on her new album, The Tortured Poets Department. In the official credits for “Florida!!!,” the Oscar-winning actress is listed as contributing “oddities.”
It’s not entirely clear what Stone’s “oddities” entail, but she received a production credit on the song alongside Florence Welch and Jack Antonoff. “Florida!!!” was co-written by Swift with Welch (of Florence + The Machine), who also sings and plays piano and percussion on the song. Jack Antonoff produced the track, and also played guitar, cello, bass, synthesizer, piano, and drums.

We were already prepared for the devastation Taylor Swift’s eleventh album The Tortured Poets Department might yield but no one could have imagined that she had two albums’ worth of material for everyone to sift through. Her latest is mix of Midnights synths and Folklore/Evermore indie-folk, giving insight into the romantic chaos behind one of her biggest career years yet. Here’s what we learned from all 31 new songs.

The last time Taylor Swift released an album, Midnights, she surprised everyone by dropping a 3 A.M. Edition later that night, loaded with new songs. But it turns out that this time, 3 hours was too damn long for her to wait. At 2 A.M. last night, with no warning at all, Swift announced that her brand-new (and excellent) The Tortured Poets Department was secretly a double album all along. She had another 15 songs ready to go, adding up to 31 in all. (That’s right, 13 backwards.) She really is drilling down...

Poets only want love if it’s torture. And when the poet is Taylor Swift, you always have to figure love and torture are never more than a few verses apart.

A year after getting out of a six-year relationship, Taylor’s got bad men on the brain. But they’ve always been her specialty. As she notes here, in...

Throughout her career, Taylor Swift has landed 232 songs on the Billboard Hot 100. Included in that are the 49 songs that broke into the Top 10. Within that, 11 topped the chart. Despite having an inescapable presence in pop for over a decade, there’s one artist’s record in particular that sparked envy in her. “‘Better Now’ is so insane,” she told Post Malone when she passed him backstage at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards. “I’m so jealous of that song — that hook.” Last year, in an interview with Howard Stern, Malone recalled the interaction,...

The couple was spotted in the crowd at sets for Ice Spice, Dom Dolla, and more, having opted to immerse themselves in the pit (albeit in the more exclusive VIP section) rather than watch from the side of the stage.

When Grammy-winning musician Jack Antonoff was curating the music for AppleTV+’s series “The New Look,” he shared ideas of instrumentation and a list of artists he had in mind for who could form the soundtrack.
“We started looking at the wish list and who was realistic,” says the show’s music supervisor Mark Wike. “We looked at who was touring and who was doing what. It was all about the different variables to make it happen.” In the end, Bartees Strange, Lana Del Rey, Florence Welch and Nick Cave were among the artists who Antonoff gathered to help curate contemporary and new original recordings of classics.
The series follows the rise of Christian Dior (Ben Mendelsohn) as a designer living and working in Paris during the Nazi occupation. Juliette Binoche plays Coco Chanel, already established herself as a grand designer, and the series follows the pivotal moment when Dior...

At the last Grammy Awards, Taylor Swift made history by taking home a fourth Album of the Year trophy. In doing so, she became the recording artist with the most wins in the category ever, breaking her tie with Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, and Paul Simon. Such an impressive feat is unlikely to be repeated anytime soon, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t other records that could be broken in the general field in the foreseeable future.

The Grammys love Jack Antonoff, but so far mostly for his work with other artists like Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey and St. Vincent. He has won Producer of the Year, Non-Classical, for the last three years in a row. That ties him with David Foster, Quincy Jones and Pharrell Williams as the second most awarded individual in the category (Babyface leads with four career wins). But so far his own band Bleachers hasn’t gotten on the academy’s radar. Can their latest self-titled release, which dropped March 8, earn them recognition?

Jack Antonoff has almost single-handedly made modern pop into a glorious safe space, an expansive, sensitive, creative biosphere where the biggest artists in the world — from Taylor to Lana to Lorde — can chase their wildest ambitions and find their most real inner selves while still making blockbuster records. Most A-list superproducers are pop scientists. Antonoff is a pop humanist.

Grammy-winning producer Jack Antonoff, who is a longtime collaborator with Taylor Swift said that questioning the pop star’s songwriting ability “is like challenging someone’s faith in God”. Talking about Swift’s songwriting ability, Antoff said it “is like challenging someone’s faith in God. You just don’t go there.”
“I’m a little… sometimes. But you come after my friend Taylor, you’re toast to me.”
Damon Albarn, the frontman of Blur and Gorillaz, had ignited outrage among Swift fans, fondly called Swifties, in 2022 after he said that the ‘Blank Space’ hitmaker “doesn’t write her own songs.”
“A really interesting songwriter is Billie Eilish and her brother,” Albarn said at the time, as reported by variety.com.
He added: “I’m more attracted to that than to Taylor Swift. It’s just darker — less endlessly upbeat. Way more minor and odd. I think she’s exceptional.

Jack Antonoff has never been afraid to voice his distaste for Kanye West — or anyone else, for that matter. But now, West is back in his sights, with the Bleachers singer commenting that the rapper “just needs his diaper changed so badly” in a new interview.
The comments came in a new story by the Los Angeles Times, in which Antonoff mused on times he’s come to the defense of his frequent collaborator, Taylor Swift. “I’m a little bitch sometimes,” he said. “But you come after my friend Taylor, you’re toast to me.”
Speaking about Ye, Antonoff made the aforementioned allusion that the rapper is a dirty-diaper baby. Then, when asked if he ever has hesitations about dissing a “well-known musician he might someday want to work with,” he rejected the idea that collaborating with West would be much fun these days.

Jack Antonoff won’t suffer fools who question his friend Taylor Swift, whom he has been collaborating with since 2012. In a Los Angeles Times interview ahead of the release of Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department (out April 19), the musician-producer touted Swift’s songwriting and said anyone who didn’t see her chops is “toast” to him.
In January 2022, Damon Albarn suggested the pop star didn’t write her own songs, in an interview with Los Angeles Times, claiming that it isn’t really the same when there are cowriters.
