Taylor Swift's "The Tortured Poets Department" Is The Perfect Tempo For CPR
Typically, when Taylor Swift releases a new album, fans and observers walk away with the same questions. How many awards will Swift win? How much money will Swift's album make? Which song will mean the most to Swift's fans? Who did Swift write each song about?
However, when Swift released her album "The Tortured Poets Department" in 2024, some people had a very different question. How many lives will Swift help to save? The reason observers had that question is The American Heart Association posted on Instagram about how "The Tortured Poets Department" can save lives.
"Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department has 110 beats per minute - the right tempo for Hands-Only CPR."
That quote from The AHA's Instagram account was posted as an image. In the caption, The American Heart Association provided more information about how Swift's fans should handle things if someone needs CPR.

Seemingly in an attempt to appeal to Swift's fans, The AHA also included a section where they celebrated that "The Tortured Poets Department" is a double album. The nonprofit association also included some emojis in that part of their post.
"A double album!?! 🤯 So double the chances for songs with lifesaving beats!?! ✌️"
Based on the comments to The AHA's post, it seems like referencing the fact that "The Tortured Poets Department" is a double album may have been a mistake. After all, one of the top comments asked if The AHA was saying the tempo to all of the songs on the double album work perfectly for CPR.
"The entire album? Or is this a specific song on the album? I refuse to do more research than this."

The rest of the comment section to The American Heart Association's post was dominated by people who loved that Swift's song could be a lifesaver. One example of that is an Instagram user who wrote, "This was literally the best news ever. ❤️"
