(upbeat music)
- Swifties, our prayers
have been answered.
It looks like there are
more emotional lyrics
on Taylor Swift's "Lover"
where "The Archer" came from.
As we've been pining over the fact
that Secret Sessioners
know literally every detail
about TS7, ah, the dream.
Our queen Tay has teased
two unreleased songs
off her new album in a cover story
for the September issue of "Vogue".
Thus far T Swift has gifted us
with three songs off "Lover",
"The Archer", "You Need
to Calm Down", and "Me".
♪ I know that I was psycho on the phone ♪
♪ I never leave well enough alone ♪
- But in the interview,
Tay teased two new songs,
including the album's
title track, "Lover",
giving us a preview of the lyrics.
"My heart's been borrowed
and yours has been blue.
"All's well that ends
well to end up with you."
Okay, my heart is already aching.
There's also a song on
"Lover" titled "The Man",
which plays with the idea of perception,
and is about how she believes
her career would be different
if she were a man.
I know I can't wait to
hear these songs and more
when "Lover" comes out August 23rd,
but that's not the only
major revelation Tay made
in the interview.
She also explained why she
decided to publicly advocate
for LGBTQ rights in 2019
by introducing a petition
in support of the Equality Act,
and releasing her anti-hate
anthem "You Need to Calm Down".

- As Swifties know, the
superstar singer has always
been pro-LGBTQ, but she
decided to become more vocal
about her stance this era
when her friend Todrick Hall
asked how she would respond
to having a gay son.
The "Me" singer told the magazine,
"The fact that he had to ask me shocked me
"and made me realize that
I had not made my position
"clear enough or loud enough."
She added, "If he was
thinking that, I can't imagine
"what my fans in the LGBTQ
community might be thinking."
