“This is the first Taylor record to come out since meeting her, and listening to a friend’s record feels so much different than a stranger’s record. This voice that I’ve heard basically what feels like my whole waking life saying my name,” she added.
She continued, “I think that that record of hers is super open-hearted, and I don’t know how many people at her level, if anyone is at her level, are writing from the heart that openly.”
Earlier this month, Lucy confirmed that she is in a relationship with one of her bandmates.
