Song from Taylor Swift's “Tortured Poets” that can potentially help save lives

The American Heart Association reports that the title track beat is perfect for CPR.

The title track from Taylor Swift's record-breaking eleventh studio album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” might have the potential to help save lives. 

According to the American Heart Association (AHA), the song's tempo lies at precisely 110 beats per minute, which is the ideal rhythm for performing hands-only CPR.

The AHA celebrated this discovery in a recent Instagram post, referencing the album's double-length format in the caption: “A double album? So double the chances for lifesaving beats? If you see a teen or adult collapse, call 911 immediately, then begin chest compressions hard and fast to the rhythm of “The Tortured Poets Department.” Thanks, @taylorswift!”

One user jokingly commented, “And just like that a whole new generation knew what to do in an emergency!”

Traditionally, the Bee Gees’ “Stayin' Alive” has been the go-to song for CPR rhythm reference. However, the British Heart Association previously shared that another song with a matching tempo exists: “Somebody Else” by The 1975, the band fronted by Swift's reported ex-boyfriend Matty Healy.

“The Tortured Poets Department,” speculated to be partially inspired by Swift's brief relationship with Healy, has become the biggest album of her career and the decade so far, moving a staggering 2.61 million consumption units according to reports.
