Taylor Swift Felt “Isolated” While Creating ‘Folklore’.
Taylor Swift admitted that she was lonely while writing her acclaimed album ‘Folklore’ during the COVID-19 pandemic. Halfway through her concert in Melbourne, Australia, Swift got candid about the writing process of one of her most celebrated albums. “[I was] imagining that, instead of being a lonely millennial woman covered in cat hair drinking my weight in white wine, I was a ghostly Victorian lady wandering through the woods with a candle in a candlestick holder”, Taylor Swift. She continued that in order to stay in the mindset of her character, Swift exclusively wrote “on parchment with a feathered quill”. The ‘All Too Well’ singer spent her quarantine with then-boyfriend Joe Alwyn, who Swift says helped her write songs including ‘Exile’ and ‘Betty’. Swift, who is currently on her Eras Tour, spent three nights in Melbourne and has back-to-back concerts planned in Sydney.
