* READ MORE: ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ review: a rare misstep
Swift dropped the new album this morning (April 19) and later announced it is in fact a double album as she shared the remaining tracks.
Now the full credits to the first half of the album have emerged. You can listen to it below.
The opening track ‘Fortnight’ as previously reported features Post Malone while Florence + The Machine appears on ‘Florence’. Swift also worked with producers Bleachers‘ Jack Antonoff and The National‘s Aaron Dessner yet again on her 11th studio effort.
The record also saw her team up with recording engineers Laura Sisk and Jonathan Low, Grammy-winning mixer Serban Ghenea, Wilco drummer Glenn Kotche, string player and arranger Rob Moose, violinist Galya Bisengalieva, pianist Thomas Bartlett (aka Doveman), longtime Post Malone collaborator Louis Bell, The National’s Bryce Dessner and the non-Antonoff members of Bleachers – Zem Audu, Mikey Freedom Hart, Sean Hutchinson, Michael Riddleberger, and Evan Smith.
Following the release of the new record, Swift also shared the trailer for her upcoming ‘Fortnight’ music video, which will star Malone.
Reviewing the record, NME awarded it three stars and described it as a “rare misstep” for Swift. It added: “Arriving at the peak of her imperial phase, Swift’s 11th studio album is surprisingly flat and, at times, cringeworthy.”
Fans also took to social media to suggest that the record is about The 1975‘s Matty Healy. The pair were romantically linked for a short period time in 2023.
Elsewhere, those that purchased the album physically are opening the record to poems from both Swift and Fleetwood Mac frontwoman Stevie Nicks.
Following the LP’s release, Swift will resume her career-spanning ‘Eras Tour’ in Europe next month before heading to the UK and Ireland in June. Swift is due to play eight shows at Wembley Stadium in London this summer as part of the run, with support coming from Paramore.
