Taylor Swift has given fans a glimpse into the making of "Florida!!!" with Florence Welch, sharing an exclusive behind-the-scenes clip of their recording session.

The clip, posted on June 10 by Swift's official fan site, Taylor Nation, shows the two artists collaborating in the studio.

The black-and-white footage captures Swift filming Welch, in the recording booth and herself, visibly thrilled by the collaboration.

The clip's caption read, "The level of talent that was in the recording studio this day 🤯."

The track "Florida!!!" features contributions from Emma Stone, who, according to sources helped create it.

Following the release of Swift's album, Welch expressed her excitement in an April 19 Instagram post, stating, "Me and my ghosts we had a hell of a time 🖤 @taylorswift Honoured to be in this department." 


The post included an animated note with lyrics from the song and a letterhead reading, "Florence Welch Department of Hurricanes and Haunted Lace Florida."

In an interview with British Vogue in April, Welch talked about her experience recording with Swift, who approached her with "a concept and a story."

While Welch described the recording session as a fun experience . highlighting Swift's down-to-earth nature., she was not aware of the fanfare that would follow "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," she shared.

Swift has previously discussed the inspiration behind "Florida!!!" with iHeartRadio, explaining that the song explores themes of escape and dealing with the consequences of life choices. 

She described the track as stemming from the idea of feeling trapped by harsh consequences and judgment, leading one to wonder, "is there a place you could go?"
