Florence Welch recently shared insights into her experience collaborating with Taylor Swift on the song 'Florida!!!' for The Tortured Poets Department. In a conversation with British Vogue, the Florence & the Machine frontwoman discussed her creative process during breaks between tours and recording sessions, as well as her upcoming BBC Proms debut.
Welch reflected on her work with Swift on the 11th album, expressing surprise at the scale of the internet reaction following the release of 'Tortured Poets.' She described Swift as sweet and down-to-earth, highlighting the enjoyable time they had working together on the track.
'Florida!!!' is a standout feature on the album, with Swift sharing the concept behind the song. She explained that the idea stemmed from the desire to escape the consequences of life choices and start anew, drawing inspiration from the concept of reinvention and anonymity associated with the state of Florida.
Since the album's release, Swift has achieved remarkable success, breaking records on Spotify for the most-streamed artist in a day, the most-streamed album in a day, and the most-streamed album in a week with over 1 billion streams in just five days.
