Holding a mint-green briefcase marked with the letters “TS” in orange—the album’s theme color—Taylor explained, “This album is about what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during this (Eras) tour, which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant. It just comes from like the most infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in my life."
