Here is inspired by a Shogirl’s life
Speaking on the New Heights Podcast of Travis and Jason Kails, Swift described the album’s inspiration as coming from his experiences during the ERAS tour. “What was going on behind the curtain in my inner life during this tour, which was very luxurious and lightning and lively,” he said. “This record has come through this record … Bangars and Bangars.”
He confirmed that the album would have only 12 songs with no bonus tracks. “You can’t take one out and it can be the same album. You can’t add one and it will be the same album. It’s correct,” Swift said.
