Swift told fans she wrote the album while on the European leg of her record-breaking "Eras Tour" with pop producers Max Martin and Shellback.

"I'd do like three shows in a row. I'd have three days off. I'd fly to Sweden, go back to the tour and actually like working on this, I was physically exhausted at this point in the tour, but I was so mentally stimulated and so excited to be creating," Swift explained.

The singer-songwriter previously worked with Martin and Shellback on multiple hit songs including, "Bad Blood," "Blank Space," "I Knew You Were Trouble" and "…Ready For It?"

"It was really special," she said of getting to work with the producers again. "It meant the world to me to have this creative experience where we knew we had to bring the best ideas we've ever had. I also know the pressure I'm putting on this record by saying that, but I don't care because I love it that much."

According to Swift, TS12 "just comes from like the most infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in in my life."

Kelce, who has had the pleasure of listening to all the unreleased tracks, said the album is "a lot more upbeat, and it's a lot more like fun, pop, like excitement."

"I think it's a complete 180 from a lot of the songs on 'Tortured Poets' for sure," he noted.

Swift agreed, saying: "Life is more upbeat."
