Taylor Swift shares acoustic version of ‘Fortnight’ with Post Malone
Taylor Swift has unveiled the acoustic version of ‘Fortnight’ featuring Post Malone – listen to it below.
Today (July 9), Swift has shared the acoustic version of the lead single off her latest album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’, along with a remix by Cults. Both variations of the track have been bundled with the original version on streaming platforms.
Check out the acoustic and remix versions of ‘Fortnight’ below.
The variations now mark the latest edition of ‘Tortured Poets Department’; ahead of the album’s release, Swift announced four variants of the album – each of which included a bonus track.
Just hours after releasing ‘The Tortured Poets Department’, Swift revealed that the record was actually a double album, and surprise released another 15 songs, which included the four previously mentioned bonus tracks.
‘The Tortured Poets Department’ scored a three-star review from NME upon its release, with Laura Molloy writing: “The pitfalls that mire her 11th studio album are all the more disappointing — she’s proven time and time again she can do better. To a Melbourne audience of her Eras Tour, Swift said that ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ came from 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 due to end this December.
Last month, NME gave Swift’s first Edinburgh show of the tour a glowing five-star review, writing: “Despite being an arena show, in a huge, cavernous venue, Swift and her fans have managed to cultivate a community. Strangers swap friendship bracelets, laugh and cry together, and embrace the tour’s in-jokes and lore (for example shouting “one, two, three, let’s go bitch” during ‘Delicate’).
“It’s the power of Swift, an artist who’s inspired not only the renaming of a Scottish Loch, but also countless fans to come out and embrace being a part of the Eras family. With The Eras Tour, then, Swift’s managed to craft a marvel of a show that comes with a beating heart.”
