WELL. SO. I’ve been counting down for months and finally the ‘I Can See You’ video is out. I wrote this video treatment over a year ago and really wanted to play out symbolically how it’s felt for me to have the fans helping me reclaim my music. I had my heart set on Joey King, Taylor Lautner and Presley Cash starring in it. Joey and Presley had been in the video for ‘Mean’ when they were 9 and 13 and they are back and so ridiculously bad ass!! Taytay is INCREDIBLE in this (didn’t have a stunt double!) and shout out to Tay Lautner for being so awesome to hang with on set. The Tale of 3 Taylors 😆 I always wanted to direct fight scenes/a heist storyline and had the most incredible time plotting this out with my amazing DP Jonathan Sela. So proud of this one.

@taylorswift is this you trying to tell us that when 1989 comes out it will have Welcome to New York featuring the Jonas brothers? ❤️😍

[swiftyfeeling22]

@taylorswift why are there two camera emojis? Is there going to be a music video? A documentary? TWO music videos? TWO documentaries??? ❤️❤️

I know some of you thought that would be like trying to solve a crossword and realizing there’s no right answer BUT…you played it good & right. Congrats pals, you guessed the correct titles and feature artists on Red (my version). The vault tracks will feature Chris Stapleton, Phoebe Bridgers, Mark Foster and the first song Ed Sheeran and I ever wrote together the first time we met in 2012❗️I can’t express my gratitude enough to these artists for helping me bring these songs to life. I can’t wait til we can dust off our highest hopes and relive these memories together. We’ll also be making a bunch of new ones too, since Red (Taylor’s Version) includes so many songs you haven’t heard yet. Til then, I’ll be counting down and picturing it all in my head. In burning red.

Red (Taylor’s Version) out November 19. Pre-order now: http://Taylor.lnk.to/redtaylorsversion

My favorite album! So so excited. Thank you @taylorswift

[swiftyfeeling22]

These past few months @taylorswift has been re-recording All Too Well 10 minute version (Taylor’s version) and pouring her heart out for the rest of the RED album.

Meanwhile, this is what Jake Gyllenhaal has been up to this month… I think it is fair to say she has leveled up with Joe 😂

I’ve always said that the world is a different place for the heartbroken. It moves on a different axis, at a different speed. Time skips backwards and forwards fleetingly. The heartbroken might go through thousands of micro-emotions a day trying to figure out how to get through it without picking up the phone to hear that old familiar voice. In the land of heartbreak, moments of strength, independence, and devil-may-care rebellion are intricately woven together with grief, paralyzing vulnerability and hopelessness. Imagining your future might always take you on a detour back to the past. And this is all to say, that the next album I’ll be releasing is my version of Red.

Musically and lyrically, Red resembled a heartbroken person. It was all over the place, a fractured mosaic of feelings that somehow all fit together in the end. Happy, free, confused, lonely, devastated, euphoric, wild, and tortured by memories past. Like trying on pieces of a new life, I went into the studio and experimented with different sounds and collaborators. And I’m not sure if it was pouring my thoughts into this album, hearing thousands of your voices sing the lyrics back to me in passionate solidarity, or if it was simply time, but something was healed along the way.

Sometimes you need to talk it over (over and over and over) for it to ever really be… over. Like your friend who calls you in the middle of the night going on and on about their ex, I just couldn’t stop writing. This will be the first time you hear all 30 songs that were meant to go on Red. And hey, one of them is even ten minutes long.

Red (Taylor’s Version) will be out November 19.

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…

Me and my friends as different Taylors a few weeks ago! Our friend turned 22 so naturally the theme was Taylor swift!

My reputation pumpkin 😍🐍 I hope everyone likes it! Sorry I haven’t posted in so long, school is very busy this semester.

Not a lot going on at the moment

[swiftyfeeling22]

Ummm so apparently there was a lot going on at the moment! She posted that selfie April 27.

When I say I’m not up to anything I mean that I’m watching TV and listening to Taylor. Apparently @taylorswift means that she’s writing an entire album!!! 😍❤️

[swiftyfeeling22]

I can’t believe Taylor wrote a few songs about the old owners of her Rhode Island house!!! “The Last Great American Dynasty,” is based on the lives of Rebekah West Harkness (known as "Betty") and her husband, William Hale “Bill” Harkness, whose family founded Standard Oil.

SO COOL!!! Also James and Inez are the names of Blake’s and Ryan’s children! And they are in a love triangle with Betty.

I swear I don’t know how she comes up with this. THE TALENT

@taylorswift @taylornation

[swiftyfeeling22]

I feel like this album needs to be in its own category. Usually her albums are so representative of whatever is going on in her life and she lives out that “era”. This is so different to me! Taylor is telling stories, this time not her own, but characters she created. I am trying to figure out how to correctly describe this album, but all I can say for now is that it is so unique and different. I’m so beyond impressed by her diversity and trying out new topics to be inspired by.

@taylorswift @taylornation

[swiftyfeeling22]

WHATTT... how is her mind so creative😭😭

@taylorswift @taylornation

[swiftyfeeling22]

William Bowery, who Taylor listed as a co-writer for two songs, is possibly a pseudonym for Joe Alwyn!When you google Will’s name almost nothing comes up. And apparently Taylor and Joe stayed at a hotel called the Bowery🕵🏻‍♀️🕵🏻‍♀️

Can’t wait to see what they wrote together! 😍

@taylorswift @taylornation

[swiftyfeeling22]

I ordered these two delux albums today😍😍 I am so excited! @taylorswift @taylornation

What edition did everyone else order?

[taylorswift]

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
