But what's got everyone talking? The answer lies in the album's tracklist, which boasts some surprising collaborations and Easter eggs that will leave you speechless.

GEORGE MICHAEL'S ESTATE DELIGHTED BY TAYLOR SWIFT'S 'FATHER FIGURE' COLLABORATION

It's been revealed that Taylor has recorded a song called Father Figure, which shares the same name as George's 1987 track, for her new album, which will be released on Friday

In a shocking move, Taylor Swift has collaborated with the late George Michael's estate on her new album. The song "Father Figure" - which shares its name with George Michael's 1987 hit - features an interpolation of the classic track. In a statement shared by George's estate on Instagram, they expressed their delight at being approached by Taylor and her team earlier this year.

"We were delighted when Taylor Swift and her team approached us about incorporating an interpolation of George Michael's 'Father Figure' into a brand new song of the same title to be featured on her forthcoming album," they said. "When we heard the track, we had no hesitation in agreeing to this association between two great artists, and we know George would have felt the same."

MAX MARTIN BRINGS HIS MAGIC TO THE ALBUM

Last month, Swift announced she was having a theatrical release party to celebrate her new album, with sources saying it's 'absolutely inspired' by her relationship with Travis Kelce

Longtime Taylor Swift collaborator Max Martin has also lent his expertise to the album, co-writing the track "Father Figure" alongside Taylor. This marks just one of many collaborations on the album, which is expected to be Taylor's most lucrative to date.
