'It's called The Tortured Poet's Department. I'm going to go and post the cover right now backstage.'
On Friday, Taylor's album was released to plenty of fanfare, and at the time fans believed it would be just 16 tracks.
However, two hours later, Taylor shared the surprise news that it would be a 'double album,' before dropping 15 bonus tracks.
Among a flurry of social media frenzy, one fan posted that they believe had hinted at the double album during her Grammys announcement, when she gave a two-finger peace sign to the camera.
Tweeting a snap from the ceremony, a fan captioned the post: 'The 2 meant a double album this whole time #TaylorSwift.'

The album's titleWhile fans were quick to theorise that The Tortured Poets Department's title is a reference to her ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn, but it appeared that the star first hinted at the name back in 2022
Fans then clocked that the name of Taylor's new album was eerily similar to a Whatsapp group that her ex Joe created with his pal Paul Mescal
While fans were quick to theorise that The Tortured Poets Department's title is a reference to her ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn, but it appeared that the star first hinted at the name back in 2022.
While accepting a songwriting award at a Nashville event, Taylor referenced two writing tools frequently adopted by poets, saying: 'They are affectionately titled Quill Lyrics, Fountain Pen Lyrics and Glitter Gel Pen Lyrics.
'I came up with these categories based on what writing tool I imagine having in my hand when I scribbled it down, figuratively.'
Fans then clocked that the name of Taylor's new album was eerily similar to a Whatsapp group that her ex Joe created with his pal Paul Mescal, called The Tortured Man Club.
The release dateOne Swiftied noted the album was released a year to the day Taylor was pictured heading out for dinner with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, where they all unfollowed Joe on Instagram
Reports of the couple's split broke the very next day, so one fan also noted the release date could be a symbolic move, marking a year since the end of their relationship
