The first 16 tracks dropped as scheduled, but the 34-year-old singer surprised fans by releasing a further 15 songs shortly afterwards, including Cassandra and The Bolter.

Post Malone and Florence Welch from Florence + The Machine both feature on the album, in leading track Fortnight and in Florida!!! respectively.

Swift announced the arrival of the album at the Grammys earlier this year, while receiving her 13th award.

"I want to say thank you to the fans by telling you a secret I've been keeping from you for the last two years," she said. "Which is that my brand new album comes out April 19. It's called The Tortured Poets Department."
