Taylor Swift’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ may have leaked—but it’s already breaking records

Many Swifties refused to listen to leaked tracks circulating on social media. Meanwhile, Spotify says the album has already hit a big milestone.

The Tortured Poets Department saw a big membership boost Wednesday night as the much-anticipated new album by Taylor Swift allegedly leaked online. While Swift and her label have not commented on whether the files were legitimate, clips of that audio that were posted to X (formerly Twitter) have been taken down due to copyright violations.
