Tortured Poets Department, Taylor Swift’s upcoming album, is scheduled to hit music platforms on April 19.

According to a new report from the Daily Mail, the snippets labelled “leaks” on social media came from a “Google Drive link” that reportedly contained 17 different tracks. It’s worth noting that the singer previously said that her upcoming 11th album would include that many tracks.
Fans of the Grammy-winning singer have been in a state of confusion as to whether the leaked tracks were real or AI-generated. Swifties have been eagerly awaiting the album’s release for days as they try to figure out how it ties in with her ex-boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, and how it references some of her most memorable moments in the past. With the fandom eager to avoid any potential leaks, they’ve urged others not to listen to any of them.
“Tip: Turn Your Device’s Volume COMPLETELY OFF on Twitter for the NEXT 24 HRS and REPORT EVERY POST spamming about album leaks! We got this!” a fan chimed on Social Media. “Anybody else hate the fake “leaked” TTPD lyrics floating around? Like just dont post like that? Someones gonna make it trend and someones gonna actually leak something.” Wrote another.
X takes action against TTPD leaks
After noticing a spike in keywords like 'Taylor Swift Leak', 'Fortnite leak', and 'Tortured Poets Department Leak,' Twitter wasted no time in blocking those searches. Fans were quick to respond by debunking tags associated with false audio links. Others posted misleading content that labelled audio files with new album songs, when in fact they were playing songs from old albums.
“Please do not spread the leak of Taylor Swift’s new album. Remember, this is Taylor’s work, respect it, just like you would your favourite artist. Don’t punish the artist for how their fans behave,” wrote a user urging fellow swifties to respect their idol’s work.
