I’m so proud of it. And it comes from the most infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in in my life, so that effervescence has come through on this record. So as you said, bangers.”However, Taylor Swift won't be dropping a second surprise album following the upcoming project, unlike her 2024 album, The Tortured Poets Department. The Red singer shared that with TTPD, she gave her fans a "data dump of everything" she thought, felt, and experienced the previous two to three years."This is 12. There’s not a 13th, there’s not other ones coming. This is the record I’ve been wanting to make for a very long time.” Taylor emphasizedTaylor Swift's 12th studio album features 12 tracks and also consists of a cover of Father Figure, George Michael's 1987 song. Additionally, the upcoming album will feature a collab with Sabrina Carpenter, from what is known at the time.
