Even American Red Cross is a swiftie: Taylor Swift song from new album The Tortured Poets Department provides the perfect beat for performing CPR

The American Heart Association (AHA) took to Instagram to share a fun fact about The Tortured Poets Department with its 429,000 followers.

It dished: ‘Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department has 110 beats per minute – the right tempo for Hands-Only CPR.’

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, is performed ‘when the heart stops beating, or beats too ineffectively to circulate blood to the brain and other vital organs,’ according to the American Red Cross.

The AHA captioned its bizarre yet informative post: ‘A double album!?! So double the chances for songs with lifesaving beats!?!’ 

It suggested: ‘If you see a teen or adult collapse, call 911, then push hard, and fast in the center of the chest, to the beat of The Tortured Poets Department. 

‘Thanks, Taylor Swift.’ 

Thousands of Swifties flooded to the comments to heap praise on the revelation.

One person wrote: ‘Imma literally play this song when I’m doing CPR, for all the people who hate Taylor. I’m most likely gonna get to say “Taylor saved a Taylor hater.”‘

Another added: ‘The American Heart Association are Swifties. Makes sense.’

A third wrote: ‘The only appropriate song for CPR this summer.’  

Someone else added: ‘And just like that, a whole new generation knew what to do in an emergency!’

Another person wrote: ‘Even the American Red Cross is a Swiftie.’

And many others also complimented the AHA’s social media team for jumping on the Swiftie bandwagon.

One person wrote: ‘Now THAT’S MARKETING.’

A second person added: ‘Give your social team a raise.’

Performing live-saving CPR includes seven steps, according to The American Red Cross.

First, ‘check the scene for safety, form an initial impression, and use personal protective equipment (PPE).

‘If the person appears unresponsive, check for responsiveness, breathing, life-threatening bleeding, or other life-threatening conditions using shout-tap-shout.
