The details of the cover of Folklore
One thing that stands out in this album is its photography, due to the meaning that many fans around the world have given it.
It is worth noting that it was the singer herself who took care of that aspect of the production.
In one of her concerts in Europe, the artist shared how she was preparing for her Folklore performance due to the lack of professional photographers.
"The time came to take some photos for the album, and I couldn't have the hair and makeup people, I couldn't have wardrobe... I had to do it myself. So I called a friend who has some woods behind her house and said, 'Can I take some photos in your forest?'. She said yes," Taylor recounted.
Furthermore, she explained that she herself arranged everything to make sure everything went well.
"I did my own hairstyle, I styled and did my own makeup. I ordered all the nightgowns online and brought them. I just thought, I guess I'll do a braid," she added.
This was how the album recording went
The album posed a unique challenge for Swift and her team due to the lockdown, as she couldn't go out or receive much help from a producer.
“It's so incredible to be thinking about that time, four years ago. When I was making that album, I started making folklore about two days after the pandemic began and making an album is usually such a collaborative situation, you usually bring together a lot of people,” said the singer.
It should be noted that the artist recorded the collaborations with Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner over the phone, which gave the production a different meaning.
