We're just a day away from the release of Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department, and the 34-year-old singer's full secret message has been revealed after a week of searching on Apple Music.
The last word of the puzzle is “mortem”, giving the full message, “We are conducting this post-mortem”.
The message was revealed via a daily word that could be found on Swift's five playlists released exclusively on Apple Music last week, which explore the five stages of heartbreak: denial (“I love you, it's ruining my life” playlist), anger (“You can't tell me about Sad” playlist), negotiation (“Am I allowed to cry?” playlist), depression (“Old Habits Die Screaming” playlist) and acceptance (“I can do it with a broken heart” playlist).
Of course, with the reveal of the final message, Swifties have started speculating about what it could mean. Given the rumors that Department of Tormented Poets The album's title is a dig at Swift's ex Joe Alwyn, the main theory behind Apple Music's message is that the pop superstar will conduct a 'post-mortem' on her dead relationship to figure out what caused it to end her.
Another key theory refers to Swift's 2017 album Reputation, and her poem “Why She Disappeared,” in which Swift wrote, “With the death of her fame, she felt truly alive.” With Reputation still in the works for reissue, fans believe the two albums may be related.
Swifties will have to wait until Friday (April 19) for all to be revealed upon its release Department of Tormented Poets. Check out the top fan theories below.
