Swift’s extraordinary week began with her record-breaking fourth win for album of the year at the 66th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. During her acceptance speech, she surprised fans with the announcement of her next album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” set for release in April.
“I would love to tell you this is the best moment of my life,” she said from the stage. “But I feel this happy when I finish a song, or when I crack the code to a bridge that I love, or when I’m shot-listing a music video, or when I’m rehearsing with my dancers, or my band, or getting ready to go to Tokyo to play a show. For me, the award is the work. All I want to do is keep being able to do this.”
Directed by Sam Wrench, “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” has grossed more than $260 million worldwide at the global box office, making it the top-selling concert film of all time.
