Florence Welch describes what Taylor Swift is like in studio after collaboration

Florence Welch has opened up about what Taylor Swift is like in the studio.

The Florence & The Machine frontwoman collaborated with Swift on the song “Florida!!!” which features on the new Tortured Poets Department album.

Speaking to British Vogue, Welch confessed she wasn’t thinking about how big the album would be before its release and shared an insight into what Swift is like to work with.

“I almost didn’t think of the scale of it,” she said.

“There’s the sort of bigness of [Taylor Swift the phenomenon], and then there’s the Taylor I spend time with in the studio, who is just the sweetest and most down to earth.”
