Taylor Swift Has Some Big Ideas for Lover Fest

Pal, the record is unbelievable. It is the top-selling record. It really is. Unbelievable. It's the top-selling record of 2019, which is great and all that, but it's actually the best record I heard this year. It is so good, and I love it so much. I know. Again, I'm not a music critic. What am I talking about? But I do have... It counts. It makes me feel nice. It makes you feel nice? I have some real reviews from real people. Lover is Swift's most mature album Taylor Swift is one of the best pop lyricists our era has ever produced. Vanity Fair. Lover is a career... I agree with that one, too. Lover is a career-topping masterpiece. Rolling Stone. These are great reviews. And I love the album. Look at this, the blue and the pink. Oh, you know what? I haven't seen this yet, actually. Are you serious? Yeah, so this is actually... Can I see it? Yes. I mean, don't give notes. It's already done. It's already made. No, I saw drawings of it on a computer, but I didn't... How cool is that? Yeah, it's good. Dude, it's a great cover. I think it'll work. Did you always know Lover was going to be the name of it or no? So I toyed around with calling the album Daylight for a while, but I thought that might be a little too, like, on the nose or I don't know, because my last album, Reputation, I saw as, like, this nighttime album, like, in the city, in the nighttime. But this one, did you have... This one I saw as a daytime album. Now, did you have... Like, I saw, like, fields and flowers and, like, you know, like, festivals, possibly, if the mood strikes them. You're going on tour next summer and it's a giant, massive tour all around Europe. You're only playing two dates in the U.S. One is in Boston, one is in L.A. Two days in Boston, two days in L.A. You're doing this brand-new, cool thing that, of course, I knew you would do something cool. Is it Lover West and Lover East? Yeah. Basically, I just kind of felt like this album, I was going to try something new. I haven't done festivals in a really long time, and I just saw this album as, like, a really festival-y album. And so I kind of wanted to do... I had the opportunity to open a stadium in L.A., which is really exciting. You're the first female performer to ever do that. Congratulations. Really now? You are, yeah. Yeah, I believe so. Wow. First female performer to open a new NFL stadium. That's awesome, buddy. Not the last. No, not the last at all. But do you have a favorite track on this record? It's hard to pick a favorite track, but I really do... The man is good. ...love the song. Thank you. I love the song Lover. Just, I... It is a good... Thanks, guys. It's a great jam. Thanks. It's a song that I wrote alone, and somehow those are... I don't know. You just think about the... I find it funny thinking about if I were to have, like, a party for all the songwriters on that song. Really? Yeah, because it would just be me. Just, it would be the same as when I was in high school. I'm just like... Yeah, so you just... It's fun. It's just you. Just invite yourself. Yeah.
