Taylor Swift Clarifies the Rumors of a Third Surprise Album on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’
Taylor Swift shuts down rumors of a third album following folklore and evermore.
Taylor Swift appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! this past Monday and answered some critical questions. Kimmel addressed the rumors of Swift’s potential third album Woodvale. Fans had realized that this word was written in the top corner of the singer songwriter’s album cover for folklore.
“Online, people are going nuts now saying that’s the third album,” Kimmel said. “You’ve not just recorded two albums, you’re going for a third and the third will be called ‘Woodvale.’ True or false?”
Swift explained how sometimes her ways of hiding one detail can result in leading people in a different direction. She said that this situation stems from a smaller secret.
“Basically, when I was making ‘Folklore’… I was too afraid to even unveil the title of the album to even my closest teammates and management,” she explained. “I didn’t tell anybody the album title until right before it came out. And so I came up with a fake codename that had the same amount of letters as ‘Folklore,’ chose a random name… ‘Woodvale.’”
