There's a lot to unpack in the album's 31 tracks.

Taylor Swift's 11th studio album, a double album titled "The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology" is here -- and, like any release from the singer, there's a lot to unpack.

"This period of the author's life is now over, the chapter closed and boarded up," her message continued. "There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed. And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self-inflicted." Fans are already busy dissecting the lyrics and spawning theories of who they believe songs are about -- something Swift famously never confirms.Swift is known for going all-out with the fifth track on her albums -- and this time is no different. Many fans are speculating that "So Long, London" is a breakup song about her ex, British actor Joe Alwyn, whom she dated for six years.

Fans are pointing to "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived" as being about Swift's brief fling with The 1975's Matt Healy. A lyric on "The Tortured Poets Department" reads: "I laughed in your face and said, 'You're not Dylan Thomas, I'm not Patti Smith.'" Charlie Puth performs onstage during the 10th Breakthrough Prize Ceremony at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on April 13, 2024 in Los Angeles, California.Did Swift get "Barbie" fever, too? Ken is mentioned in the track "My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys" when she sings, " Just say when, I'd play again / He was my best friend down at the sandlot / I felt more when we played pretend / Than with all the Kens.
