Florence Welch has spoken about collaborating with Taylor Swift, and hinted at a potential appearance at the ‘Eras Tour’ in London.
Welch’s band Florence + The Machine feature on Swift’s new song ‘Florida!!!’, which appears on her 11th album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’. Both singers are credited as co-writers on the cut.
Following the record’s release, Welch said she was “honoured to be in this department”. Swift has since explained that ‘Florida!!!’ is about people’s desire to “reinvent themselves” after a break-up or heartbreak (via Today).
During a new cover interview with British Vogue, Welch opened up about her experience of working with the pop giant on the track.
“I almost didn’t think of the scale of it,” she explained while laughing. “There’s the sort of bigness of [Taylor Swift the phenomenon], and then there’s the Taylor I spend time with in the studio, who is just the sweetest and most down to earth.”
She went on to reveal that Swift had approached her with “a concept and a story” for the song. “[It’s] my favourite way to start songwriting,” Welch continued.
“We had such a fun time. And then when it came out I was like, ‘Oh, shit!'”
