American pop superstar Taylor Swift released Evermore, the sister album of Folklore, at midnight on Friday. The new album Evermore is more innocent and lively than the pensive and moody Folklore.
In addition to Evermore, Taylor Swift released the music video for her new single, Willow. The connection between Folklore and Evermore is pretty evident with the Willow music video, which picks up right after the events of Cardigan, with Swift sitting at her piano and processing what she experienced.
However, the singer is spirited away on a new adventure when a glowing golden thread tempts her to follow it back inside of her piano; where she steps out of a willow tree and into a fantasy world.
Watch the music video below:
Before Willow premiered on YouTube, Taylor Swift explained the meaning of her newest single in the live chat. “Willow is about the intrigue, the desire and the complexity that goes into wanting someone. I think it sounds like casting a spell to make someone fall in love with you,” she told fans.
Evermore is available for purchase and streaming now. There is also a deluxe version of the album, which includes two bonus singles.
