As revealed by Taylor in February, The Tortured Poets Department will featured several collaborations with top artists, including Post Malone and Florence + the Machine. The Anti-Hero singer announced the latest album at the Grammy Awards earlier that month and now she has shared the track listing for the record, which includes collaborations with the 28-year-old rapper and the Hunger hitmaker. The alleged leak comes after Taylor revealed the 'timetable' for The Tortured Poets Department. On Wednesday night she shared a promotional video for the album to her Instagram - sending fans wild. The clip began in a '70s-inspired room, reminiscent of the Midnights era - her last album to be released. In the room there were bits of crumbled-up paper on the floor and a series of records as well and a clock set to the time of 2 o'clock. The camera then leads viewers down a white corridor and into a room with the name The Tortured Poets Department on it. On Wednesday night, Taylor shared a promotional video for the album to her Instagram. Pictured is a screenshot The video showed a white board with the date April 19 was starred along with the words, 'The Tortured Poets Department Release Day.' Inside there are empty white desks with typewriters on as well as coffee cups, before the camera then zooms into a bulletin board on the wall. On the wall the date April 19 was starred along with the words, 'The Tortured Poets Department Release Day.' Underneath was a note that read, '8 p.m. ET. Music video release!!' - as well as fourteen slashes. She simply wrote in the caption: 'The TTPD Timetable.' It comes just after Taylor unveiled a pop-up library in Los Angeles earlier in the day as she geared up for the new album. The Karma hitmaker's fans waited in line for upwards of five hours in order to attend a pop-up poetry library.
