Who is William Bowery?
Surprise! Taylor Swift is releasing her eighth studio album Folklore at midnight on Friday, June 24. Not only will the record consist of 16 brand new tracks from the singer written while in self-isolation, but if fans’ suspicions are correct (and Swifties are always on the ball), it will also feature a collaboration with a certain special someone. A new Taylor Swift Folklore theory has fans thinking that the singer’s boyfriend Joe Alywn co-wrote two songs for her surprise new album. If it’s true, prepare for some uber-romantic collaborations (and perhaps some happy tears). Bustle reached out to Swift, but did not receive an immediate response.
When announcing the album on Instagram, Swift revealed that she worked with some of her «idols» and long-time collaborators to create the songs of Folklore, including Jack Antonoff and William Bowery, who she specifically said she wrote two songs with. Many fans were quickly overcome with excitement for what’s to come, but some stopped to realize that they don’t know who Bowery is. As it turns out, nobody does. Google searches show that there’s no known artist or songwriter who goes by the name of William Bowery. He also just so happens to be the only person mentioned in Swift’s post that wasn’t tagged with an Instagram handle.
