Taylor Swift’s New Album Title Has Fans Bringing Up Her Ex Joe Alwyn’s Group Chat Name
Welcome to The Tortured Poets Department.
Sunday, while picking up her 13th Grammy trophy, Taylor Swift surprised the audience in Los Angeles with word that she would be rolling out a new album in a matter of months. The follow-up to the Grammy-winning Midnights, which took home Best Pop Vocal Album at Sunday’s ceremony, will arrive on April 19.
Within minutes, fans had presented a theory connecting the new album’s title with a Variety interview featuring Joe Alwyn and Paul Mescal from 2022. In the interview, part of the publication’s Actors on Actors series, Alwyn and Mescal briefly mention being in a WhatsApp with fellow actor Andrew Scott.
“It’s the Tortured Man Club, I think. It’s me, you—and Andrew Scott started the group,” Alwyn said in the interview.
