Taylor was performing at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium when she told the packed crowd, “‘Folklore’ in general, it’s about Ireland.” She explained how she began writing the album 2 days after the pandemic began, and, “How I imagined the album would look in the world [was like] Ireland. Telling a story with a lot of different characters. You guys have that locked down, too. This storytelling is very Irish.”

She said she created a fantasy in her head to write the songs… “…I had to make an album where I pretended to be in this imaginary world that I went to every day while I was writing… It sounded a lot like Ireland, to be honest.”

She added… “So we’re back where we should be. Folklore belongs to you guys!”
