It's believed to be Taylor's boyfriend, Joe Alwyn. His great grandpa was a composer named William Alwyn and the Bowery hotel in NYC is a location that Joe and Taylor possibly met at for the first time.

I have a loose relationship with the truth, also the beard options looked weird!

So I said in my post about folklore that I prob wasn’t gonna buy a physical copy. I changed my tune after a couple more listens.
I chose to get it on CD and the In the Woods variant. I thought that was the coolest artwork.
I think her rollout is interesting with the 8 variants - kinda like a choose-your-own-adventure. Obviously not bespoke but a degree of customization for what you like. I don’t doubt there will be fans that will cop multiple variants and some maybe all eight for ~$200 (if vinyl). If one wants to be cynical, you can call that a cash grab (that is, knowing you‘ll get fans who will buy multiple of, ostensibly, the “same” product). I choose not to be cynical and characterize it as interesting. Of course, that easy for me when I’m one CD and done.

it's so good to hear her back to writing bridges
i loved a lot of the max martin-shellback uber-pop that she's put out over the last several albums, but - as per "all too well" and "dear john" - when she's really nailing those middle 8s she's really showing her songwriting class
absolute superstar

I am ok with the 8 variants... I got the one that called out most to me before I even heard the album. I am just glad this is back to her form that made me fall for her music all those years ago.

Now she's selling both a 7" and a 12" of Cardigan as a single, along with the original voice memo:

I think I'm good. It might be kinda neat to have, but I would never listen to it, so it's a pass from me personally.

I'm still trying to decide what variants to get.
Which one calls out to you the most?

I'm a fan of the cover for the clandestine meetings variant. And I like the back cover and record colors for "running like water." Those are the two I've been eyeing since the shop went up and will probably be what I go with, but browsing through all of theme I keep second guessing myself lol. I'm just indecisive. I do wanna pick up at least one of the CDs too, probably the hide and seek one.

For me it was between Betty's Garden and Stolen Lullabies.... I went with the one that initially caught my eye which was Betty's Garden. The main reason is I have green, I have blue, but I don't have many pink or lavender colored. So I went with that.

I like the back cover and the color of the "in the weeds" variant but for me I mostly enjoy when the record color matches the album art. I'm thinking if I own a combo of the gray variant and the clandestine meetings cover that would be a perfect match for me. So that's my rationale for my choices haha
As for hide and seek, I just like that picture

I swear that’s from an illustrated copy of The Fellowship of the Ring that I have. Something to do with Sam and Frodo seeing elves going to the grey harbour...
