Are you ready for it? Swifties sure were!
At midnight on April 19, Taylor Swift released her 11th studio album, "The Tortured Poets Department." Two hours later, she dropped more songs, revealing it's actually a surprise double album!
But first, she had some fun with fans, who flocked to The Grove — an outdoor mall in Los Angeles — to take a look at a special "TTPD" pop-up library installed by Spotify.
The library opened on April 16 and closes on April 18; fans can explore it from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. each day.
"Fans will be able to explore a poetry library, highly curated to represent the direction of the new record," Spotify said in a statement, adding that "the shelves will be packed with books and visual surprises for fans to enjoy."
Here's a general view of Spotify's Taylor Swift pop-up library — an interactive experience celebrating her new album, "The Tortured Poets Department" — at The Grove in Los Angeles on April 16, 2024.

The library is filled with possible Easter eggs including a clock atop the card catalog that's set to 2 o'clock, a sculpture of a hand flashing a peace or victory sign, a bust of the goddess Diana, world globes, empty birdcages and a small gold daily calendar set to Friday, Dec. 13.
There are also dried plants including lavender, fountain pens and quill pens — but no glitter gel pens — a likely reference to what Taylor's said represents her three different songwriting styles.

Book spines featuring song titles are on display at Spotify's Taylor Swift pop-up library — an interactive experience celebrating her new album, "The Tortured Poets Department" — at The Grove in Los Angeles on April 16, 2024.
Some have titles and some don't. Those that do are all imprinted with songs from "TTPD" including "Down Bad," "Florida! Featuring Florence and the Machine," "Guilty As Sin?" and "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?"
One book, however, appeared to be out of place — it's a gray tome with "Saint" on the spine.
