Taylor Swift has had an incredibly hectic year – between her 152-date Eras Tour and the release of The Tortured Poets Department – but that has not stopped her from already working on new music, which insiders now say could be released as early as next year.
According to sources, the Cruel Summer singer, 34, has no plans for a lengthy break and is already working on new music for a 2025 release – and is also in talks to hit the road again in 2026, insiders claim.
Despite some of her fans, or ‘Swifties,’ voicing apparent fatigue over her constant chart domination and seemingly never-ending release of TTPD variants – of which there are currently 30 plus – Taylor is determined to keep the wheels turning on her lucrative success.
Speaking to DailyMail.com, insiders have claimed she has been writing new material while on the road – which could see her address the controversy surrounding her alleged rivalry with Charli XCX.
‘Taylor is working on a new record which is due out in 2025 followed by a new tour in 2026,’ an insider told DailyMail.com. ‘She is heavily inspired by all the new experiences she is having on the Eras tour and has been quietly writing songs backstage.
‘Contrary to what some say, she loves artists like Charli XCX so those who have heard some of the ideas say she is paying attention to what is hot right now and will use that as inspiration.’
Taylor’s TTPD – her 11th studio album – has maintained the No.1 position on the Billboard 200 chart since its release on April 19. A double album edition titled The Anthology, which contained 15 bonus tracks, was surprise-released digitally two hours later.
However, some critics have suggested her chart success could be a result of the periodic release of variant and extended editions to keep sales and streaming figures high.
In total, she has now put out 37 versions in two months.
Dropping two of these ‘special’ editions the same day as Billie Eilish, 22, released her new album Hit Me Hard and Soft last month was seen as an attack on the competition by some.
This was further exacerbated when she dropped UK exclusive variants as it was announced that Charli XCX was expected to land a No.1 debut for her album Brat, leading some to question if the move was tied to their connection to 1975 frontman Matty Healy, 35.
Charli XCX, 31, is engaged to Matty’s bandmate, drummer George Daniel, while Taylor dated the singer early last year following her break up from Joe Alwyn and appears to heavily reference their brief romance on TTPD.
There has been speculation that one of Charli’s songs – Sympathy is a Knife – includes a reference to Taylor which has led to chants of ‘Taylor Swift is dead’ at her recent gigs.
Taylor’s continued release of TTPD variants has led to accusations that she is ‘the fast fashion of pop music’ while others have jokingly renamed her latest album: ‘The Tortured Wallets Department.’
A TTPD vinyl LP with an Anthology bonus track n her website costs $34.99, while the CD version costs $12.99. The digital album costs $11.99, and the digital Anthology is priced at $14.99. Cassettes were also on sale for $19.99.
In response to the release of one digital version featuring first draft phone memos, one Reddit user wrote: ‘This is so absurd. Remember when 1989 was released and all the bonus tracks and voice memos were on ONE deluxe album you could buy at Target for like $14? Bring that back. It’s so shameless at this point.’
Another wrote: ‘It’s comical. There’s absolutely no way to defend this at all. This isn’t a consumer-friendly product, and y’all should have better judgement.‘
‘This is too much,’ posted a third. ‘Don’t waste your money on this anymore. How many more versions and things need to be sold? It’s 100 per cent taking advantage of fans.’
Another exhausted Swiftie added: ‘Remember the days when she invited fans to her house and treated people like people, not cash cows?’
One simply said: ‘This is kinda gross.’
Taylor is currently on the European leg of her Eras Tour, which saw her boyfriend Travis Kelce join her on stage on Saturday night, one day before a cavalry of stars – and royalty – descended on London’s Wembley Stadium for her takeover.
The 152-date tour has smashed records, surpassing the $1 billion mark to become the highest-grossing of all time before it was even halfway finished.
Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour was crowned the highest-grossing concert film of all time when it hit theaters back in October.
It also broke a Disney+ record for the most-streamed music film after just three days, tallying up a collective 16.2 million hours in its opening weekend in March.
