What to Expect From the Album

The album packs 12 tracks, with one much-talked-about collaboration — a duet with Sabrina Carpenter on the title track. The rest of the song list includes intriguing titles like The Fate of Ophelia, Elizabeth Taylor, Eldest Daughter, Ruin the Friendship, CANCELLED!, and Honey.

The track names alone have sent fans spinning with theories. Is The Fate of Ophelia a nod to Shakespearean tragedy? Is CANCELLED! a tongue-in-cheek anthem about cancel culture? Whatever the answers, one thing is certain — every line will be picked apart, cherished, and probably tattooed on someone before the weekend is over.

According to The Yorkshire Post, the full album runs just over 41 minutes. The longest track is Eldest Daughter at 4 minutes 6 seconds, while the shortest is Actually Romantic, which comes in at 2 minutes 43 seconds.

For Indian fans, this release is more than just a new album — it’s the start of another Taylor Swift era.
