LOS ANGELES, April 9: As a solar eclipse cast its shadow across the United States, Taylor Swift stirred excitement among fans by hinting at potential lyrics from her upcoming album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” on social media. The Grammy-winning artist took to her Instagram Story, sharing a black-and-white video depicting a typewriter punching out the words, “Crowd goes wild at her fingertips, half moonshine, full eclipse,” accompanied by a pre-order link.
