Halfway through her Eras Tour stop in Melbourne, Australia, on Saturday (2\/17), Taylor Swift paused to reflect on being \u201clonely\u201d while writing her 2020 album, Folklore<\/i>, during the COVID-19 lockdown.<\/p>\n
\u201c[I was] imagining that, instead of being a lonely millennial woman covered in cat hair drinking my weight in white wine, I was a ghostly Victorian lady wandering through the woods with a candle in a candlestick holder,\u201d Swift said in a video<\/a> before performing her song \u201cBetty.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I wrote only on parchment with a feathered quill,\u201d she continued. \u201cThat was in my mind, what I thought I looked like writing Folklore.\u201d The Grammy winner added, \u201cSo that\u2019s all that matters \u2014 the delusion.\u201d<\/p>\n
While writing Folklore<\/i>, Swift spent her time in quarantine with then-boyfriend Joe Alwyn, 32, who helped the artist pen songs including \u201cExile\u201d and \u201cBetty. <\/p>\n
