“You guys have done something so amazing over the last few months,” she told fans during Thursday’s concert in a fan-filmed video. “I’m just thinking about what you did with the hug Department for Tortured Poets, album. It really blew me away because it’s really emotional for me that I wrote this album during the Eras tour.”
“I wrote that album, made that album, everything [while] trying to keep it a secret from you. And then [we] announced the album, and then we actually worked really hard to secretly put together a new chapter in the Eras Tour of Department for tortured poets and we wanted to surprise you with him, and we did,” she recalled.
After reflecting on the album’s chart success, Swift added, “And the last thing you did, because everything that happens is a direct reflection of the passion that you show, is you nominated this album for six Grammys,” she said. “That’s so amazing, so thank you.”
