This comes from the Wall Street Journal article. There's no way they were giving the artist a picture from the album cover photoshoot to do. I think this is just a new photoshoot and that's it.
Either way we know she's coming. And honestly just that small picture got me more hyped over ANYTHING else in the past two years.
I'm excited. With Taylor, I always start off missing the last era but by the time the new era is halfway through, I realize how it's so much better & my favorite yet. She always outdoes her previous efforts & brings new sounds and imagery to the table which is what I love about her.
