Known for their devotion, it was clear from the get-go that fans would not be calm as the time came for 'The Tortured Poets Department' to be released.

Staying true to their past records of causing earthquakes while blasting her tunes, Swifties seem to have taken an underground route with Swift's new album being less than a day away.

A fandom renowned for wearing their hearts on their sleeves as friendship bracelets and shaking up the Ritcher scale, the only 'under the radar' route that Swifties know is when it leads to early access to her new album. Therefore, it did not come as a surprise when it was revealed that 'The Tortured Poets Department' has already become the most illegally downloaded album with 174K downloads. 

This not only proves Swift's musical prowess, but also that Trevor Noah knew what he was talking about when he asked Swifties to bring down the price of eggs. While Taylor Swift's album is the most illegally downloaded may come as news too many, it seems that the songstress herself had an inkling and tried her best to keep them busy.
