She added that although she tries "not to look" at the Internet's reaction to the relationship, "friends have been sending me funny things"

She recently released her new album 'Forever Is A Feeling'

The title track was speculated to be about Swift’s relationship with Matty Healy, and mentioned a friend named “Lucy”

For her first solo record since Boygenius’ career-changing debut album, the singer-songwriter switches spiky indie for grand chamber-pop and deliciously details the rush of a new romance

"I'm just grateful to have made a new pal with such a good heart"

“It’s been interesting, because I want to protect what is precious in my life, but also to be honest, and make art that’s true”

"Let’s protect our friendship, let’s protect our energy, let’s not have each other feel pressure to keep it going for the others"

The album, out later this month, will feature Hozier

The forthcoming trek includes a stop at London's O2 Academy Brixton, and a Glastonbury-shaped gap in the schedule

It includes two London shows
