Just two hours after the release of her much awaited 11th studio album, "The Tortured Poets Department," the 13-time Grammy winner, Taylor Swift, dropped 15 surprise songs on April 19, 2 PM in Philippine Standard Time (PST), revealing that TTPD is a double album.

"It’s a 2am surprise: The Tortured Poets Department is a secret DOUBLE album. ✌️ I’d written so much tortured poetry in the past 2 years and wanted to share it all with you, so here’s the second installment of TTPD: The Anthology. 15 extra songs. And now the story isn’t mine anymore… it’s all yours. 🤍" Swift said in an Instagram post.

The 15 extra songs from TTPD: The Anthology include four previously announced bonus tracks available on four different TTPD versions: “The Manuscript,” “The Bolter,” “The Albatross,” and “The Black Dog."

The Tortured Poets Department, or TS11, was originally expected to have 16 songs. And now that 15 extra songs have been added, this makes the album composed of 31 songs.

“The Black Dog,” “imgonnagetyouback,” “The Albatross,” “Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus,” “How Did It End?” “So High School,” “I Hate It Here,” “thanK you aIMee,” “I Look in People’s Windows,” “The Prophecy,” “Cassandra,”

“Peter,” “The Bolter,” “Robin,” and “The Manuscript,” are the 15 official songs included in TTPD: The Anthology.

However, the thrill is not yet over, as the "Mastermind" has more tricks up her sleeve. Swift released a music video for the album's first confirmed single, "Fortnight (feat. Post Malone)," on April 20 at 8 AM (PST).
