Swift went on to thank her fans for keeping her going through this tough year. “My songwriting, and the way that fans respond to the songs I write, and that kind of emotional exchange is what I feel like has really kept me going this year. And I really want to say thank you to the fans for that,” she said.

Song Folklore was written and recorded during the quarantine period.
