The new album is just a few months away and today we received the track listing with song titles like “Down Bad” and “But Daddy I Love Him.” See you, Ariel reference! And it features artists like Post Malone on “Fortnight” and Florence + The Machine on “Florida!!!” with three exclamation points and featuring tracks like “So Long London” and “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,” fans believe the album will be about her breakup with her British boyfriend of six years, Joe Alwyn. And there are other things they pointed out about the April 19 release date. It's the same day last year that Taylor went to dinner with her friends Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively and they unfollowed Joe on Instagram. It is also the day in 1775 that British and American soldiers exchanged gunfire in the Massachusetts towns of Lexington and Concord, starting the Revolutionary War. Never a slow day as a Taylor Swift fan. While Taylor is on tour in Asia, you have plenty of opportunities to see your favorites around the world.
