Excuse me while I cry. I’ve had a hard time. I’ve lost my best friend of 7 years. I had money issues and I just have been sad and depressed. My co worker got me an autographed folklore album. No reason, just pure love. @taylorswift @taylornation thanks for being a shiny light in a dark moment.

Tonight the story continues, as the music video for “willow” drops at midnight eastern. I’m forever grateful to the following creatives who have helped and guided me to be able to direct my own videos: Cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, producer Jil Hardin, 1st AD Joe ‘Oz’ Osbourne, Co-1st AD Ev Salomon, Exec Producer Rebecca Skinner, editor Chancler Haynes, set designers Ethan Tobman and Regina Fernandez and visual effects geniuses Grant Miller and David Lebensfeld. Thank you to our medical inspector who made sure every precaution was taken for our safety. I’ll see you guys in the YouTube premiere page chat before midnight to answer some questions 🧙‍♀️

I’m elated to tell you that my 9th studio album, and folklore’s sister record, will be out tonight at midnight eastern. It’s called evermore. To put it plainly, we just couldn’t stop writing songs. To try and put it more poetically, it feels like we were standing on the edge of the folklorian woods and had a choice: to turn and go back or to travel further into the forest of this music. We chose to wander deeper in. I’ve never done this before. In the past I’ve always treated albums as one-off eras and moved onto planning the next one after an album was released. There was something different with folklore. In making it, I felt less like I was departing and more like I was returning. I loved the escapism I found in these imaginary/not imaginary tales. I loved the ways you welcomed the dreamscapes and tragedies and epic tales of love lost and found into your lives. So I just kept writing them. And I loved creating these songs with Aaron Dessner, Jack Antonoff, WB, and Justin Vernon. We’ve also welcomed some new (and longtime) friends to our musical kitchen table this time around…

Best day ever!!!!

I spoke to V Magazine about why I’ll be voting for Joe Biden for president. So apt that it’s come out on the night of the VP debate. Gonna be watching and supporting Kamala Harris by yelling at the tv a lot. And I also have custom cookies 🍪💪😘

Guys I don’t know anything but I know I miss youuuuu. So watch the ACM Awards for my performance of ‘Betty’ 🙂

I’m a teacher, and I’m going to start this year by doing what I am calling “Taylor Swift” writing. Writing to a small moment.

Which song would you use as an example of how she took a small moment and added details to it?

It can be from any album.

Ready, set Go....

@taylorswift making Betty, Cardigan and August 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[aiming-for-the-afterglow]

Every listen, I pick another favorite

1st - august

2nd - the 1

Now- my tears ricochet

What about you?

[aiming-for-the-afterglow]

In isolation my imagination has run wild and this album is the result, a collection of songs and stories that flowed like a stream of consciousness. Picking up a pen was my way of escaping into fantasy, history, and memory. I’ve told these stories to the best of my ability with all the love, wonder, and whimsy they deserve. Now it’s up to you to pass them down. folklore is out now.

Seven makes my heart so happy. I envision my childhood (grew up with a not so nice step father). She sounds like she wants to save her friend from her “haunted home” and then she moves! It’s such a wonderful song.

“Sweet tea in the summer.”

[aiming-for-the-afterglow]

idk if we’ve already realized this but i think my tears ricochet is multifaceted and definitely can reflect on her experience leaving big machine / losing her masters / realizing she wasn’t “family” to businessmen
