       Taylor Swift’s new album allegedly ‘leaked’ on social media and
       it’s causing a frenzy

       Social media can be a divisive place, but even more so when it comes to 
       
       A Google Drive link allegedly containing 17 tracks that are purportedly
       from Swift’s eagerly awaited “The Tortured Poets Department”
       album has been making the rounds on the internet in the past day and
       people are equal parts mad, sad and happy about it.
       
       CNN has reached out to Swift’s representative for comment.
       
       The actual album is slated to drop at midnight Friday, but the claimed
       leak is both being hailed and nailed by Swift’s supporters.
       
       One person shared a drawing of a young woman asleep in a sparkly bed
       with sparkly blankets , “How I slept last night knowing I’m going
       to hear TTPD for the very first time tonight cause I haven’t listened
       to any leaks.”
       
       Yet another person posted a video of two models walking and wrote,
       “Me and my bestie on our way to listen to #TSTTPD leaks.”
       
       On Thursday, “Taylor Swift leaks” was a prevented search phrase on
       X.
       
       The general consensus among those who have decided to be “leak
       free” appears to be that they are the true Swifties – as her hard
       core fan base is known – because they don’t believe the singer
       would have sanctioned such a “leak.”
       
       Swift herself has gone to great lengths to prevent unintended early
       releases in the past.
       
       “I have a lot of maybe, maybe-not-irrational fears of security
       invasion, wiretaps, people eavesdropping,” Swift said of her music
       during an 2014 appearance on”.” She added that her “1989” album
       only existed on her phone, “covered in cat stickers and the volume
       buttons don’t work very well because there’s candy stuck in
       there,” for nearly two years.
       
       “The Tortured Poets Department” is Swift’s 11th album and comes
       after she became the first woman and only solo artist to win the Grammy
       for album of the year three times.
