Taylor Swift Takes Fans Inside ‘Florida!!!’ Recording Session With Florence Welch
Written by Rtradio on June 11, 2024
Taylor Swift is taking fans behind the scenes for one track from The Tortured Poets Department.
On the Instagram page of her official fan site, Taylor Nation, Swift gave fans a sneak peek of how “Florida!!!” featuring Florence and the Machine came to be. The black-and-white clip posted on Monday showcases Swift, 34, unable to contain her excitement as Florence Welch, 37, sings inside a recording booth. Fittingly, the video was posted to the song “Florida!!!”
“the level of talent that was in the recording studio this day 🤯,” the Instagram Reel and Story was captioned.
In true Swiftie style, fans believe there’s more than meets the eye with this clip. Many theorize in the comment section that a “Florida!!!” music video is in store, or perhaps a live performance of the song during the 100th show of the sold-out Eras Tour in Liverpool on June 13. Swift’s lucky number is 13, having been born on Dec. 13, 1989, which adds to fans being convinced something big is coming Thursday.
When “Florida!!!” released April 19, Welch was equally as excited.
“Me and my ghosts we had a hell of a time 🖤 @taylorswift,” Welch penned on Instagram to mark the occasion. “Honoured to be in this department.”
Swift previously shared the inspiration for writing the track with iHeartRadio, saying the song was based on the question, “What happens when your life doesn’t fit, or your choices you’ve made catch up to you, and you’re surrounded by these harsh consequences and judgment, and circumstances did not lead you to where you thought you’d be and you just want to escape from everything you’ve ever known?”
At that point, Swift wondered, “Is there a place you could go?”
“I’m always watching Dateline. People have these crimes that they commit, where do they immediately skip town and go to? They go to Florida,” she said. “They try to reinvent themselves, have a new identity, blend in. And I think when you go through a heartbreak, there’s a part of you that thinks: ‘I want a new name. I want a new life. I don’t want anyone to know where I’ve been or know me at all.'”
