“For me the prize is work. All I want to do is continue to be able to do this. I love him so much. It makes me so happy.”
Swift also thanked producer Jack Antonoff, whom she described as one of her “best friends” and a “once-in-a-generation producer.” The duo collaborated on “Midnights” and several previous Swift albums.
