A case of misleading headline

Comment on "Taylor Swift aims at Jake Gyllenhaal on new album?" (China Daily, Jan 18)

I was a bit disappointed after reading the article. The headline suggests the article is mostly about Taylor Swift's new album.

But that is not the case.

The article says the singer's new album will be about her "heartbreak".

This is not really new information, because we all know that Swift bases most of her songs on her past relationships.

I would like some more information on her new album instead of tabloid gossip about her past boyfriends.

For instance, it would be useful to inform readers about the possible release date of her album and how many songs it will have.

Articles, I feel, should give more information on what their headlines convey.

It would be better to talk about the present or the future instead of discussing events that took place over a year or two ago.
