Taylor Swift is just not taking a break. The singer took her fans by a surprise by dropping, ‘evermore’, her ninth studio album. This is the second album of 2020 and we can’t be more grateful to the ‘Red’ singer. From being a complimentary piece to ‘folklore’, this one also takes you into the woods with 15 tracks, a tad bit more.

Ever since I was 13, I’ve been excited about turning 31 because it’s my lucky number backwards, which is why I wanted to surprise you with this now. You’ve all been so caring, supportive and thoughtful on my birthdays and so this time I thought I would give you something! pic.twitter.com/wATiVSTpuV

Like in her previous album, she has continued working with producer and The National guitarist Aaron Dessner and Bon Iver. Bon has even co-written and sung on one of the tracks. Taylor’s most frequent collaborator and singer also joined forces for the album. William Bowery who plays her boyfriend (Joe Alwyn) also returned as the songwriter for a select few songs.

Taylor Just Cannot Stop Writing Music

Taylor, while talking to her fans about the album said, “To put it plainly, we just couldn’t stop writing a song. 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.

Willow’s Music Video: Gasps

Just like the last time, Taylor just didn’t give her fans a whole album but also a music video for a track. The ‘Willow’ track’s video picks up right where ‘Cardigan’ left off showing the singer en route a fantastical adventure with her co-star and one of her backing dancers on tour, Taeok Lee. The album consists of 15 tracks which are a must listen, if you loved ‘folklore’

Taylor Swift teased her fans with her music video earlier on Thursday along with a picture. The lace Zimmerman dress sees the singer looking drop-dead gorgeous paired with a braided hairstyle and topped with a Jennifer Behr “Priscilla” tiara. A perfect princess!

In the ‘Willow’ video, Taylor is seen in what is now her signature cardigan, seated at her piano inside what seems like a cozy cabin. The video smoothly transitions Taylor entering inside her piano to find herself in what looks like an enchanted forest, in a dreamy love-filled fairy-tale as she sings “that’s my man”.
