- ■■Sandra MALLON Showbiz Editor

TAYLOR Swift appears to have dived even deeper into her recent relationsh­ips in the expanded instalment of her new album The Tortured Poets Department.

The US pop superstar shocked fans by releasing an additional 15 songs on her 11th album, bringing the total number of new tracks to an impressive 31.

The new edition, The Anthology, features The Black Dog, The Albatross, The Bolter and The Manuscript - the four songs that were included on exclusive vinyl editions of the initial album.

Swift (34) announced the album on social media, writing: “It’s a 2am surprise: The Tortured Poets Department is a secret double album.

“I’d written so much tortured poetry in the past two years and wanted to share it all with you, so here’s the second instalment of TTPD: The Anthology. 15 extra songs.

“And now the story isn’t mine anymore... it’s all yours.”

First

The first edition of the album is thought to be filled with hints to her recent break-ups with actor Joe Alwyn and The 1975 star Matty Healy, as well as her current relationsh­ip with NFL star Travis Kelce.

One of the tracks has also reignited her feud with Kim Kardashian. The singer’s ‘thank you aIMee’ caught fans’ attention due to its lyrics.

In one verse, she crooned: “There’s a bronze spraytanne­d statue of you and a plaque underneath it/

That threatens to push me down the stairs, at our school”.

She once opened up about her clash with Kim, describing how it “took her down psychologi­cally”.

Taylor also appears to reference her daughter, North

West in the lyrics:

“And so I changed your name, and any real defining clues/

And one day, your kid comes home singin’ a song that only us two is gonna know is about you.”
