Just a few short weeks ago, Taylor Swift confirmed the prevalent fan theory that William Bowery, the cowriter for two songs on Folklore, was indeed her boyfriend, Joe Alwyn.
Well, William/Joe is back for Evermore, the follow-up album to Folklore, with writing credits on three new tracks.
Taylor shared this fact with fans in the "Willow" music video premiere comment section on YouTube.
Eagle-eyed Swifties quickly discovered that William Bowery was credited on "Champagne Problems," "Coney Island," and "Evermore."
Let's break these down for a second so we can fully appreciate the lyrical genius of the Swift-Alwyn songwriting team, which actually makes a surprising number of references to Taylor's previous work.
Taylor described "Champagne Problems" as "the one where longtime college sweethearts had very different plans for the same night, one to end it and one who brought a ring."
I have no idea what will come next. I have no idea about a lot of things these days and so I’ve clung to the one thing that keeps me connected to you all. That thing always has and always will be music. And may it continue, evermore. evermore is out now: https://t.co/QYMUTL0IAj
