Taylor Swift's new album The Tourtured Poets Department isn't out until Friday (April 19), but Spotify is inviting Swifties in the Los Angeles area to get an early taste of the album.

The streaming service announced Monday (April 15) via Instagram that it is launching The Tortured Poets Department Spotify Library Installation on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (April 16, 17 and 18) from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. at the Grove in Los Angeles.

The installation will feature curated poetry excerpts, books and visual surprises for fans to check out, with each piece representing a small part of Swift's latest era, according to Billboard. There's no word whether or not music from the new album will be previewed inside the pop-up for fans.

The installation will change each day as the countdown to the release of The Tortured Poets Society gets closer.

The Spotify pop-up announcement comes after Swift teased a special "phantom clear vinyl" version of The Tortured Poets Department available exclusively at Target. In an Instagram post on Sunday (April 14), Swift posted a photo of her showing up the clear vinyl disc along with what's presumably a lyric snippet from the new album, "I wish I could un-recall how we almost had it all."

Meanwhile, Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelce turned up at Coachella over the weekend, though she didn't appear on stage. They were first spotted kissing and hugging in the Mojave Tent stage wings on Saturday during the performance by Bleachers, fronted by her pal Jack Antonoff.

Laster, Travis and Taylor were seen in the Sahara Tent with Sabrina Carpenter and her boyfriend, Saltburn actor Barry Keoghan, to see Swift's "Karma" remix partner, Ice Spice.

Ice Spice introduced that song with a "shoutout to Taylor Motherf---ing Swift," at which point a proud Kelce kissed Swift on the neck.

Along with the sets by Ice Spice and Bleachers, Travis and Taylor were also seen at the Outdoor Theatre for a set by British electronic act Jungle.
