About Evermore (Taylor Swift album) in brief
Evermore is the ninth studio album by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. It was released on December 11, 2020, through Republic Records, less than five months after Swift’s eighth studio album, Folklore. Evermore is an alternative rock and chamber rock album that expands on its predecessor’s indiefolk sound, featuring guest appearances from American bands Bon Iver, Haim, and the National. Its lyrical themes generally revolve around love, marriage, infidelity, and noir, detailed in form of impressionist storytelling and interlacing narratives. All 15 of the album’s tracks entered the Billboard Hot 100 in the same week, with the lead single, \”Willow\”, becoming her seventh number-one hit on the chart; Swift became the first act to simultaneously debut atop both Billboard 200 and Hot 100 charts twice. It became the best-selling album of 2020, and garnered five nominations at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year. The album received universal acclaim from music critics, who praised its character dynamics and experimental production. It made Swift the first woman in US history to amass eight number-1 debuting albums. Republic Records reported more than a million copies of Evermore sold in its first week globally. In an interview with Zane Lowe, Swift stated that Evermore gave her a feeling of quietness and sort of a quiet sort of end to this sort of quiet, sort of this quiet, quiet time of the year.
Swift and producer Aaron Dessner did not subject themselves to any limitations during the development of the project, which Swift described as a more experimental process. In spite of releasing Folklore, Swift continued to work remotely with Desser, who would send her instrumental tracks, to which she would write the lyrics. This extension of Folklore was a natural extension of its individual identity, giving rise to Evermore. Swift said she felt less like she was departing and more like I was returning. In the past I’ve always treated albums as one-off eras and moved onto planning the next one after an album was released. There was something different with Folklore… I loved the escapism I found in these imaginarynot imaginary tales. I also know this holiday season will be a lonely one for most of us and if there are any of you out there who turn to music to cope with missing loved ones the way I do, this is for you\”. Swift wrote in a post on Instagram that she wanted to give her fans a gift on her 31st birthday. She revealed the track listing, and added that a music video for its opening track, “Willow,” would premiere on YouTube alongside the album’s release. Swift wrote: “You’ve all been so caring, supportive and thoughtful on my birthdays and so this time I thought I would give you something! I’ve never done this before. To put it plainly, we just couldn’t stop writing songs.”
