When describing a big star’s new release, two clichés are frequently used: it is highly anticipated and long-awaited. Well, the 11th studio album by pop sensation Taylor Swift can’t exactly be called ‘long awaited’—just 18 months have passed since the release of her previous album, Midnights. The Grammy winner made her ‘highly anticipated’ 11th studio album, THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT, available on Friday, April 19, 2024.
The 16-track album is peaceful and enjoyable to listen to, but if you read the lyrics carefully—as most Swift fans do—you will discover a convoluted and disorganized stream of thought where Swift swings between waves of introspection, rage, longing, and grief.
Also, it is interesting to note that this latest album credits the two-time Oscar winner Emma Stone for her work on the song Florida!!!.
Emma Stone’s Unexpected Contribution to Taylor Swift’s Latest Album
After winning her second Oscar (for Poor Things), Emma Stone has taken a break from the movie industry? Well, fear not; she’s not leaving the spotlight just yet. In fact, she is collaborating with none other than pop sensation Taylor Swift for a daring venture into the music industry.
A recent scoop claims that Stone is given credit for her work on Swift’s highly anticipated new album, THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT, on the song Florida!!!, which features Florence and the Machine. Yes, Stone and Swift are working together on a song. And considering the extraordinary talent of these two women, we can only imagine the magic they have created.
And with this, even the fans were beyond excited. Check out how fans are encouraging Stone:

It is no secret that Stone has a musical background; she stated that she has been a fan of musicals since she was eight years old, after seeing Les Misérables. “Bursting into song has always been a real dream of mine”, she once admitted, citing her favorite film as the 1931 Charlie Chaplin romantic comedy City Lights (via LA Times).
And Swift, well, she is a musical force in her own right, dominating the charts with catchy hits and poignant lyrics. So, it’s safe to say that Florida!!! is bound to be a hit.
