Swift said: “You guys have been beyond wonderful all the years of my career but especially this one, when we’ve been so far apart, we haven’t been able to see each other in concert but I still feel really connected to you through the music and your reaction to Folklore and all the ways in which your imagination honoured that album.
“I just love you so much and I’m really, really lucky because of you.”
