Another suggested, "Tip: Turn Your Device's Volume COMPLETELY OFF on Twitter for the NEXT 24 HRS and REPORT EVERY POST spamming about album leaks! We got this!"

A third urged, "Please do not spread the leak of Taylor Swift's new album. Remember, this is Taylor's work, respect it, just like you would you favorite artist. Don't punish the artist for how their fans behave."

The alleged leaked snippets came only days before Taylor is slated to release "The Tortured Poets Department". She is set to drop her eleventh studio album and its four editions with a bonus track each on April 19. Recently, she revealed that she will also launch a music video on the same day.
