Welcome to the family... folklore 🤍

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 ♥️

All the trends 😂

It only took a global pandemic for a surprise era. Who has that on their bingo card?

one year ago today, taylor released the archer in the middle of a live stream and now today she announced a whole new album and a music video to be released with like 15 hours of notice. she's so chaotic

SHE REALLY JUST WENT FROM YNTCD TO LOVER JUST LIKE THAT

I’M A SLUT FOR THESE LOOKS I’M SCREECHING

This album is a love letter to love itself- all the captivating, spellbinding, maddening devastating red, blue, gray, golden aspects of it (that’s why there are so many songs) In honor of fever dreams, bad boys, confessions of love on a drunken night out, Christmas lights still hanging in January, guitar string scars on my hands, false gods and blind faith, memories of dumping into an icy outdoor pool, creaks in floorboards and ultraviolet morning light, finally finding a friend, and opening the curtains to see the clearest, brightest daylight after the darkest night. We are what we love. This is Lover.

THAT’S IT. THAT’S THE POST. IT’S ALL THAT MATTERS.

Guys I’m so grateful for you, and for how much you love Lover. I’m overwhelmed with emotion and so proud of this album..and every time I think about how proud I am, I just can’t help but become so completely elated because.. this one is mine. 🥺😭💗 Gonna cherish this moment forever. Never gonna stop thanking you for it either.
