After Taylor Swift has already released a Corona album, the next one will follow shortly before her 31st birthday: "Evermore".
Taylor Swift (30) continues to be kissed by the muse during the pandemic: This Thursday, the musician announced that tomorrow, Friday, December 11th, the sister album to "Folklore" will be released. Her first Corona album was only released at the end of July and without any long announcement, and according to "Billboard" had sold a million copies by the end of October.
From midnight on there is an unexpected lookup: "Evermore". The standard edition contains 15 tracks, the physical deluxe edition has two bonus tracks. A video for the new song "Willow" will also appear at midnight. "To be clear, we just couldn't stop writing songs," said the singer in one of three Instagram posts about the new album To put it more poetically, it felt like we were standing on the edge of the folkloric forest and had the choice to turn around and go back or to travel further into the forest of this music. "The latter was chosen – an approach new to Swift who have seen all of their albums so far as closed chapters.
This time it is more of a continuation: According to the tracklist, Bon Iver alias Justin Vernon (39) is also part of a song. The new bands are The National and Haim, who also play one song each. The timing of the release also has a private background, as Swift explains, who turns 31 on December 13: "I've been looking forward to turning 31 since I was 13 because it's my lucky number backwards." For this special birthday, she wanted to give something back to her fans. "I also know that this time will be lonely for most of us." She turns to music to deal with missing loved ones – the album is for those who do the same.
