On April 19, Taylor Swift’s 11th album titled “Tortured Poets Department” was released to the public, once again breaking many streaming records globally. I think for fans, Taylor Swift achieving new achievements is not surprising.
Taylor Swift always knows how to create new surprises for fans and with “Tortured Poets Department”, global audiences are once again surprised that this is a “double” album with a similar number of songs. Double the original plan: 31 songs. An album with 31 songs is a “huge” number in the music market. “How the hell can Taylor Swift write 31 more songs among so many other personal projects?”.

Taylor Swift’s success isn’t just a matter of luck; The 35-year-old self-made female billionaire is a model of effort and diligence in artistic work.
This is not the first time that Taylor Swift has surprised the audience with her tenacity in her artistic work. When the album “evermore” was released to the public, Taylor Swift shared:
“We can’t stop writing new songs. To put it more poetically, it feels like you’re standing at the edge of a fairy tale forest and have only one choice: Turn back or go deeper into the musical forest. We chose to go far; my colleagues and I are really proud that the 9th album – the “sister” of “folklore” was able to come out new album is evermore”.
“evermore” was released not long after “folklore”, in a few consecutive months Taylor Swift released her 8th and 9th albums. “folklore” has 17 songs and “evermore” has a similar number of songs, a total of 34 songs. During a period of stagnation in all entertainment activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Taylor Swift still persistently released 34 new songs, as she is doing with “Tortured Poets Department”.

Quantity comes with quality; folklore brought Taylor Swift her third Grammy “album of the year” award in her career and “evermore” is one of the albums loved by the audience; For me personally, “evermore” is Taylor Swift’s pinnacle album with impressive storytelling and poetic lyrics. Taylor Swift does not compensate for quality with quantity, she has done well in every aspect with these two new albums, a completely new style compared to previous music products.
Taylor Swift’s youth was a journey of persistent effort when the female singer released her first album when she was only 17 years old and since then, every 2 years, Taylor Swift has released a new music product. If you only look at Taylor Swift’s success from the outside, you will see flashy things, but behind the spotlight is a Taylor Swift hard at work in the studio, standing and singing on the parking lot to debut her first song. me.
Taylor Swift is at the peak of glory with 4 Grammy awards for 4 Albums of the year.
And when the music products were blatantly stolen, Kelly Clarkson advised Taylor Swift to re-record the entire thing. Re-record all 6 albums? Is that a utopia when she still has so many new plans? Re-recording all stolen albums is an unprecedented precedent, but Taylor Swift has proven that nothing is impossible. In the entertainment industry, women always have to put in more effort than men to get the same results. Taylor Swift has proven to the public that don’t underestimate a female artist when she can do unimaginable things.
As new albums such as “folklore”, “evermore” or “Midnights” continue to be released regularly, Taylor Swift also releases “Taylor’s version” of each old album plus many new songs she has never published. Re-recording doesn’t mean just singing the exact same song again when Taylor Swift has to refresh her songs. It’s a huge amount of work. Of course, it cannot be denied that Taylor Swift has a very strong support team, but I think that every A-list singer has a strong team behind them to release music diligently and regularly. so only Taylor Swift.
One after another, Taylor Swift’s 4 “brainchildren” have been retrieved. The audience is eagerly waiting for the final two albums “Taylor Swift” and “reputation” to be released soon. I fully expect Taylor Swift to release another album this year with the kind of work that, I often joke, managers expect of Gen Z employees.
It would be a mistake to talk about Taylor Swift’s hard work without mentioning “The Eras Tour” – a global music event that broke many records in terms of both number of performances and sales. As of March 2024, Taylor Swift has held 83 concerts. In the US alone, Taylor Swift brought to the audience 53 shows in 20 cities, along with 30 subsequent shows in Latin America and Asia Pacific. By the end of 2024, Taylor Swift is expected to complete a total of 152 tours in 54 cities worldwide. The Eras Tour is the highest-grossing music tour in history and the largest audience in many cities.
“Super tour” The Eras Tour is the biggest tour in history!
If this is not a symbol of hard work, I don’t know what other miracle you can expect? You have to be present at the stadium and watch Taylor Swift’s live performances to see the tenacity of the female singer born in 1989. For more than 3 hours continuously with more than 40 songs, Taylor Swift seemed to have no moment. Anywhere to rest, regardless of cold weather or heavy rain. In almost every city, Taylor Swift performs 2-3 nights in a row, even in some places 5 nights in a row!
Perhaps, Taylor Swift fans don’t just love her for her musical talent. Not every young person chooses to pursue a career in music, but certainly, every young person feels motivated when looking at Taylor Swift’s long journey of persistent efforts.
If you ever want to give up, stop trying, complain about too much work, feel like you have no strength left even though you’ve just started, accept the easy path, think you don’t have time to do one more thing. something new, remember Taylor Swift.
