Swift's The Tortured Poets Department, including the special editions, are available to pre-order via the artist's website.
Taylor Swift has announced yet another special edition of The Tortured Poets Department, this one featuring bonus track ‘The Albatross.’
The pop superstar made the announcement on her social media early Friday morning, just one week after she announced a separate special edition of the new record, set to release on 19th April, with the bonus track ‘The Bolter.’
The news comes as Swift resumes her eminent Eras Tour, extending the run to Australia. She performed in Sydney on Friday, with special guest Sabrina Carpenter. The singer-songwriter will bring her highly acclaimed tour to Dublin’s Aviva Stadium for a sold-out, three-date stint from 28th to 30th June.

Swift initially announced The Tortured Poets Department during an acceptance speech at this year’s GRAMMY awards, after winning the golden gramophone for Best Pop Vocal Album, for her 10th LP Midnights.
“This is my 13th Grammy,” Swift reflected just before making her announcement, acknowledging her oft-proclaimed lucky number. “I want to say thank you to the members of the Recording Academy for voting this way, but I know that the way that the Recording Academy voted is a direct reflection of the passion of the fans. So I want to say ‘thank you’ to the fans by telling you a secret that I’ve been keeping from you for the last two years — which is that my brand-new album comes out April 19.”
The 16-song tracklist, which Swift released the following day, comprises features from Post Malone and Florence + the Machine, along with a 17th bonus track titled ‘The Manuscript.’
The Tortured Poets Department is available to pre-order now via Swift's website.
