Taylor Swift Gives Fans a Glimpse Behind the Scenes of Making TTPD with ‘Fortnight’ Challenge Video
The pop superstar shared various clips of herself in recording studios and on photoshoot sets throughout the making of her latest album
Taylor Swift is offering a glimpse into her creative process.
After releasing her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, last week, the pop superstar, 34, shared a behind-the-scenes compilation featuring footage of herself in recording studios and on photoshoot sets via YouTube on Monday, April 22.
“A fortnight making TTPD 🤍 Brought to you by YouTube Shorts #ForAFortnightChallenge,” Swift captioned the video, soundtracked by the album track “Fortnight” featuring Post Malone as part of an online initiative for fans to post clips filmed over a two-week period.

The Grammy winner’s latest YouTube Shorts upload marks her second as part of the challenge surrounding “Fortnight,” as she shared a compilation of clips over the weekend — including many moments connected to her boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
In the video shared April 19, Swift is seen getting a kiss from the Kansas City Chiefs tight end in the kitchen, sporting a University of Kansas sweater, baking cinnamon rolls, repping merch for the NFL team and spending a night out in Singapore.

Ahead of releasing The Tortured Poets Department, Swift announced “Fortnight” would be the album’s lead single and spoke about working with Malone, 28.
“I’ve been such a huge fan of Post because of the writer he is, his musical experimentation and those melodies he creates that just stick in your head forever,” she wrote on Instagram. “I got to witness that magic come to life firsthand when we worked together on Fortnight.”

After the song and its music video dropped April 19, Malone shared a photo of himself with Swift to social media and reflected on making the collaboration.
“It’s once in a lifetime that someone like @taylorswift comes into this world,” he wrote in the caption. “I am floored by your heart and your mind, and I am beyond honored to have been asked to help you with your journey 🥹. I love you so much. Thank you Tay 💕.”
Shortly following the release of The Tortured Poets Department, Swift took to social media and declared the “sensational and sorrowful” chapter of her life was “closed” now that the album was in fans’ hands.
“The Tortured Poets Department. An anthology of new works that reflect events, opinions and sentiments from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time – one that was both sensational and sorrowful in equal measure. This period of the author’s life is now over, the chapter closed and boarded up,” she wrote.

“There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed. And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self-inflicted. This writer is of the firm belief that our tears become holy in the form of ink on a page. Once we have spoken our saddest story, we can be free of it. And then all that’s left behind is the tortured poetry.”
