Taylor Swift: evermore [Republic]

As with July’s folklore, Taylor Swift announced the arrival of her ninth album evermore with less than a day’s notice. She returned to work with longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff, as well as Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon and the National’s Aaron Dessner, all of whom worked on folklore. HAIM also appear on the record, which Swift called a “companion” to folklore. Check out the full credits.
