Taylor Swift has surprised fans with the announcement of a third and final limited special edition of her highly anticipated upcoming album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” This special edition will be themed around a bonus track titled “The Black Dog,” which Swift revealed during a secret songs segment at her concert in Singapore.
The title of the exclusive track, “The Black Dog,” has sparked intrigue among fans, as it is a popular expression for depression or melancholy. Swift teased her followers by sharing a lyrical snippet from the song on social media, adding to the anticipation surrounding this edition of the album.
The cover art for this special edition features Swift standing upright but tangled in her own arms, adding to the thematic elements of the bonus track. The vinyl edition of the album will be black in color, adding to the overall mood and aesthetic of “The Black Dog” edition.
Fans looking to get their hands on this limited special edition will have until Wednesday at 2 p.m. to purchase it exclusively through Swift’s webstore. Speculation about a special edition of her previous album, “Reputation,” was debunked with the announcement of “The Black Dog” edition, making it clear that this release is a stand-alone addition to her discography.
Previous limited editions of “The Tortured Poets Department” featured bonus tracks “The Albatross” and “The Bolter,” which are no longer available for purchase. However, the deluxe edition of the album will still include the extra track “The Manuscript.” All physical editions of the album are set to be released on April 19, giving fans plenty of time to prepare for the highly anticipated drop.
