In another post, Swift revealed that she initially wasn't planning to release another album, but it just happened because they couldn't stop writing songs. She decided to release as a treat for her fans.

"I wanted to surprise you with this the week of my 31st birthday. You've all been so caring, supportive and thoughtful on my birthdays and so this time I wanted to give you something! I also know this holiday season will be a lonely one for most of us and if there are any of you out there turn to music to cope with missing loved ones the way I do, this is for you," Swift wrote.

"I have no idea what will come next," she continued. "I have no idea about a lot of things these days and so, I've clung to the one thing that keeps me connected to you all. That thing always has and always will be music. And may it continue, evermore."
