In April, Welch celebrated the release of Swift’sTortured Poets Department, writing on Instagram that she was “honoured to be in this department” and had a “hell of a time” working on it.

Speaking withBritish Vogueshortly after the release, Welch described how working on the song made her forget about Swift’s superstar stature.

“I almost didn’t think of the scale of it,” she said. “There’s the sort of bigness of [Taylor Swift the phenomenon], and then there’s the Taylor I spend time with in the studio, who is just the sweetest and most down to earth.”

Describing how the song came to be, Welch told the outlet that Swift came to her with “a concept and a story” for the track, something she described as her “favorite way to start” songwriting. “We had such a fun time,” she said, before mentioning the fan-fare of the moment. “And then when it came out I was like, ‘Oh, s—!'”
