On digital streaming platforms, the single is bundled with a newly released instrumental version of the track. You can listen to it below.

“The Tortured Poets Department” received a three-star rating from NME upon release, with Laura Molloy writing, “The pitfalls that plague her 11th studio album are all the more disappointing – she’s proven time and time again that she can do better. Speaking to a Melbourne audience during her Eras Tour, Swift said ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ was born out of a ‘need’ to write. It’s just that maybe we didn’t need to hear it.”

Swift is currently on the European leg of her career-spanning “Eras” tour, which is scheduled to end this December.

Last month, NME gave Swift’s first Edinburgh performance of the tour a glowing five-star review, writing: “Despite being an arena show in a huge, cavernous venue, Swift and her fans managed to build a community. Strangers exchange friendship bracelets, laugh and cry together, and embrace the tour’s inside jokes and stories (for example, screaming “One, two, three, let’s go, bitch” during ‘Delicate’).

“It is the power of Swift, an artist who not only inspired the renaming of a Scottish lake, but also made countless fans open up and accept being part of the Eras family. With The Epoch Tourthen Swift has succeeded in creating a marvel of a show that comes with a beating heart.”
