What has Taylor said about ‘Lover?’

In a chat with fans over Instagram, Taylor told her Swifties: “This album, in tone, it’s very romantic. Not just simply thematically, like it’s all love songs or something. The idea of something being romantic…it doesn’t have to be a happy song.

“You can find romance in loneliness or sadness or going through things in your life… it just looks at those things through a romantic gaze.”

She also described it in her Vogue interview as “a love letter to love”.
