During a performance in Melbourne (Australia) as part of the Eras Tour last weekend, Taylor Swift opened up to her fans about her time writing folklore . The album was written during the quarantine period due to the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, which was also the time when Taylor and her ex-lover Joe Alwyn were still passionate.

“I imagined that, instead of being a lonely woman covered in cat hair, drinking heavily, I was a Victorian lady wandering through the woods with a candle and I just wrote letters on parchment with a feather quill,” Taylor said of the inspiration for folklore .

“That’s my thinking. I think I look like that when I write folklore ,” the singer continued, “I don’t look like that. But that’s what’s important – the imagination.”

In fact, when composing this album, Taylor Swift was still in a years-long relationship with Joe Alwyn. The British actor even wrote some outstanding songs on her 2020 album with her, including Exile and Betty . Therefore, the singer born in 1989’s new sharing about how she feels lonely at this time makes fans extremely surprised.

At the present time, Taylor Swift is dating football player Travis Kelce. The American star couple first announced their relationship in September 2023 when the female singer went to watch a Kansas City Chiefs football match to cheer her boyfriend. In an interview with TIME, Taylor admitted that at this public time, the couple had been courting and dating for a while.
