Folklore was the first time she recorded an album in her home. Swift noted that due to COVID-19 restrictions, she wasn't able to go to the studio to record, so she had to build a studio in her house, which she was really excited about. At the end of the film, she jokingly dubbed it Kitty Committee Studios because of all her cats.
Swift told her label about Folklore a week before it was released. Swift was so inspired creating Folklore, she didn't even tell her label it existed until a week before she dropped it. When Jack Antonoff asked what that phone call was like, Swift said they were super supportive of her. "It was amazing," she said. "My label was like, 'Whatever you wanna make, we're down.'" We love to see it!
