On 19 April this year, Taylor Swift unveiled her eleventh studio album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” Additionally, she surprised her fans with the release of a double album featuring additional songs. The singer has since announced that new drafts of recordings or voice notes from her cellphone, saved during the writing/recording process of some tracks from TTPD, will be made available for sale.

The songs available for purchase include “Who’s Afraid Of Little Old Me?,” “Cassandra,” and “The Black Dog.” However, the tracks are not available individually; each is for sale alongside the standard digital album of “The Tortured Poets Department.”

The price of the album along with any of the recording drafts is $5.99. Sales begin at 12:00 a.m. ET today, 17 May, on Taylor Swift’s official store, but pre-orders are also available.

“A digital copy of Taylor Swift’s standard album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ with the ‘first phone draft’ will be sent to the email address provided upon purchase completion on 05/17/24 or around that date. Please note that digital downloads are not available for customers outside the United States. Digital downloads are delivered as 44.1 kHz/320 kbps MP3 audio files,” the website states.
