first song Taylor Swift she was working together with her ex-boyfriend Joe Alwynthe ballad arrives in 2020 Folklore as a duet with Bon Iver. On the time of the album’s release, Joe was credited under the name William Bowery, although Taylor confirmed that William and Joe are one and the identical during her Disney+ concert video, Folklore: study sessions in an extended pond.
Taylor revealed that Joe wrote the whole piano part, together with singing, “I see you standing baby / Together with your arms around your body / Laughing however the joke is not funny in any respect.” She added that Favorite Actor was “all the time just acting and inventing and creating things,” however the couple might never have worked together had it not been for the COVID-19 shutdown.
“I used to be like, ‘Hey, this may very well be really weird and we could hate it,'” she explained, “since we’re in quarantine and nothing else is occurring, could we just attempt to see what it’s like if we write this song together?”
The effect of their skilled cooperation? The winning album of the yr on the 2021 Grammys.
“We’re very happy with Exile,” enthused Taylor. “All I actually have to do is provide you with some lyrics and provide you with some shattering, shattering story to jot down with him.”
