evermore (deluxe version) Tracklist
evermore, Taylor Swift’s ninth studio album, was released five months after folklore. It was first announced via social media by Swift sixteen hours prior to release.
The deluxe edition contains the bonus tracks “right where you left me” and “it’s time to go”.
As with its ‘sister record’ folklore, the writing on evermore was a collaborative effort between Swift, Aaron Dessner (of The National), Jack Antonoff, William Bowery, and Bon Iver. The record is notable for containing three artist features (HAIM, The National, and Bon Iver), the most of any of Swift’s studio albums to date.
In a post, Swift explained that her excitement over turning 31–her lucky number, 13, backwards–in 2020 was the reason for releasing evermore when she did. After years of fans giving her birthday gifts, she thought she would return the favor.

How did Swift tease the possibility of a sister album to folklore?
She told Entertainment Weekly in an interview that came out the day before she announced evermore:
I have this weird thing where, in order to create the next thing, I attack the previous thing. I don’t love that I do that, but it is the thing that has kept me pivoting to another world every time I make an album. But with [folklore], I still love it.

Which songs did Swift write first and last?
