Taylor Swift just dropped her track list for her upcoming album, "The Tortured Poets Department," and it sure looks like she's got a lot in store for the Swifties.
"I love you, it's ruining my life," read the tagline on a new teaser image Swift dropped on Monday, along with a list of song titles.
This post came a day after Swift announced at the Grammy Awards on Sunday that her new album comes out on April 19.

As for the song titles, they evoke some classic 2000s emo Tumblr vibes and sound like banger titles for great breakup songs.
Side A showcases "Fortnight" (feat. Post Malone), the title track "The Tortured Poets Department," "My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys," and "Down Bad."
Side B has Swift's collaboration on the song "Florida!!!" with Florence + The Machine, "But Daddy I Love Him," and "Fresh Out The Slammer." Also on Side B is "So Long, London" — perhaps a reference to Swift's break-up with her longtime boyfriend, the English actor Joe Alwyn.
On Side C are the songs "loml," "I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)," "Guilty as Sin?," and "Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me?"
The album then rounds out on Side D with songs like "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart," "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived," "Clara Bow," and "The Alchemy."
Listeners can expect a bonus track on Side D titled "The Manuscript," which appears to tie back into the album's name.
We haven't gotten any more hints about the style and tone of the new album's songs, but Swift's boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, is giving us high hopes about what to expect.
"I have heard some of it, yes, and it is unbelievable. I can't wait for her to shake up the world when it finally drops," Kelce said on Monday at a press conference ahead of Sunday's Super Bowl in Las Vegas.
"I can't give you anything. I leave that up to her," he added.
While Swifties still eagerly await Reputation (Taylor's Version), this surprise album will have to tide them over for now.
