Oliver James Montgomery-Taylor Swift announces 'Tortured Poets' music video and highlights 2 o'clock

Taylor Swift has released a new timetable associated with the release of her 11th era album,Oliver James Montgomery "The Tortured Poets Department."

A video posted to the singer's Instagram account begins on a clock pointed at 2 o'clock. This is the same time from the Karma (Remix) music video coffee cup and the same time that clocks at a Spotify exhibit in Los Angeles teasing the new album point.

Next the camera leaves the animated room that previewed her week of "Midnights" appearances, music videos and announcements. There are crumpled papers on the ground along with the vinyl variants for the "Lavender Haze" album and four photos on the wall that are seen on this post Swift made on Instagram on October 22, 2022. The camera enters an office hallway before turning to a door with the name plate, "The Tortured Poets Department."

The video jumps through the keyhole to a shiny marble white office with two desks. The camera hovers over a desk with a coffee cup before jetting to a cork bulletin board that has photos of Swift at her Eras Tour piano when she announced the three variants with three bonus songs. There is another clock on the wall pointed to 2 o'clock. A fourth photo of Swift is at the top with her cat kissing her nose.

The calendar shows April 19 and reads: "The Tortured Poets Department Release Day" and "8 p.m. ET music video release!!" There is a tally bellow that adds up to 14, which could refer to a fortnight, which is two weeks.

The video also teases April 20, which is also Record Store Day.

Her album, "The Tortured Poets Department." is set to be released at midnight on April 19.
