Most of the things I had planned this summer didn’t end up happening, but there is something I hadn’t planned on that DID happen. And that thing is my 8th studio album, folklore. Surprise 🤗Tonight at midnight I’ll be releasing my entire brand new album of songs I’ve poured all of my whims, dreams, fears, and musings into. I wrote and recorded this music in isolation but got to collaborate with some musical heroes of mine; Aaron Dessner (who has co-written or produced 11 of the 16 songs), Bon Iver (who co-wrote and was kind enough to sing on one with me), William Bowery (who co-wrote two with me) and Jack Antonoff (who is basically musical family at this point). Engineered by Laura Sisk and Jon Low, mixed by Serban Ghenea & Jon Low. The album photos were shot by the amazing Beth Garrabrant. Before this year I probably would’ve overthought when to release this music at the ‘perfect’ time, but the times we’re living in keep reminding me that nothing is guaranteed. My gut is telling me that if you make something you love, you should just put it out into the world. That’s the side of uncertainty I can get on board with. Love you guys so much ♥️

folklore will have 16 songs on the standard edition, but the physical deluxe editions will include a bonus track called “the lakes.” Because this is my 8th studio album, I made 8 deluxe CD editions and 8 deluxe vinyl editions that are available for one week 😄 Each deluxe edition has unique covers, photos, and artwork. Available exclusively at https://store.taylorswift.com 

The music video for “cardigan” will premiere tonight, which I wrote/directed. A million thank you’s to my brilliant, bad ass video team - Cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, producer Jil Hardin, executive producer Rebecca Skinner, AD Joe ‘Oz’ Osbourne, editor Chancler Haynes, special effects wizards David Lebensfeld & Grant Miller and set designer Ethan Tobman. The entire shoot was overseen by a medical inspector, everyone wore masks, stayed away from each other, and I even did my own hair, makeup, and styling 😂 

Me + the only things getting me through quarantine💞 @taylorswift 💞

There is no length I wouldn’t go to so I can see Taylor live 😭 when I went to the 1989 tour we broke down on the motorway for hours and I thought I was going to miss the show so I was just crying on the side of the motorway, but the green flag man was so nice and gave us a lift just in time. For the jingle bell ball in 2017 we woke up in the morning and it had been snowing all night and all the roads were full of snow and slippery and it took us 10 hours to get to London instead of 2 and we got stuck on the motorway again with no food or water and we made it to venue 5 minutes before taylor came on stage and for the reputation tour firstly we caught the wrong tube and then whilst I was getting merch I didn’t realise I had accidentally dropped a ticket so when we went to find our seats the security man would only let 1 of us on the floor because they were asking to see my mom and I’s ticket, but my fight or flight kicked in and I ran back up the stairs a frantic mess until I heard an angel go “have you dropped your ticket?” and a security guard was there holding the ticket and I hugged him and told him he saved my happiness 😂 but, I have absolutely no regrets and I would do it all over again to see @taylorswift she means so much to me and I love her with my whole entire heart and each night was still absolutely magical🥺💞

Excited to announce the City of Lover Concert! We filmed my show in Paris in September and thought it’d be fun to share it with you 😄May 17 at 10p ET on ABC and available the next day on Hulu and Disney+!
