"Swift met personally with each fan and posed for photos until 5 a.m." These fans were asked to keep information about the album confidential until its release.

In these recordings, we hear Swift talk about her thought process while writing several songs on Lover. When talking about the second track on the album, Cruel Summer, she said, "It deals with the idea of being in a relationship where there's some element of desperation and pain in it, where you're yearning for something that you don't quite have yet." When speaking on her song The Man, she revealed, "I often think about what my career would have been like, and what my headlines about my career would have been like if I had been a man instead of a woman."
