\u201cAbout a year ago, you guys did a truly unfathomable thing. Something that completely blew my mind\u2026 You gave The Life of a Showgirl the biggest first week for an album in history,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Swift said the new songs were written and recorded on a trip she took to Martin and Shellback\u2019s native Sweden after Showgirl\u2019s release.<\/p>\n
She said she hopes fans love the new songs \u201cbecause they were born out of pure gratitude for your exuberance for and celebration of the album we made\u201d.<\/p>\n
