โIโm elated to tell you that my 9th studio album, and folkloreโs sister record, will be out tonight at midnight eastern. Itโs called evermore. To put it plainly, we just couldnโt 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. Iโve never done this before. In the past Iโve 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.โ // evermore, taylor swiftโs 9th studio album || december 11, 2020
