Taylor Swift has surprised her fans by releasing a secret “double album” instalment of her new record The Tortured Poets Department, which is thought to hint at her break-up with British actor Joe Alwyn and The 1975 star Matty Healy.

Hours after dropping the 16-song edition of her 11th studio album, the US pop superstar announced an expanded version with an extra 15 songs, titled The Anthology.
