‘It was like an escape for me into an imaginary world…’ Taylor Swift reveals impact of Folklore LP

Taylor Swift made ‘Folklore’ so she could feel connected with her fans during the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the section celebrating the LP at her ‘Eras Tour’ show at Anfield Stadium in Liverpool on Thursday night (13.06.24), the 34-year-old singer opened up about how the record saved her creatively after she had to cancel her planned tour in support of her seventh studio album ‘Lover’.

‘Folklore’ was a surprise release when it came out on 25 July, 2020. For the LP, Taylor teamed up songwriter Jack Antonoff and The National’s Aaron Dessner, who acted as co-writers and co-producers.
