Taylor Swift is taking time to herself as she continues to focus on her upcoming sixth album.

As fans wait on the end of their seats for new music from Swift, a source claims she’s made a conscious decision to stay out of the spotlight ahead of the new album’s release.

“Taylor made the conscious choice to disappear,” a source explained to People Magazine days ago. “She was feeling overexposed and like things were almost spiraling out of control. She’s being low-key and secretive [right now] because it makes her happy.”

Taylor Swift missed the expected 2016 release of album no. 6

Before this past year, Swift was in a routine of releasing an album every two years. However, during an interview with Vogue for their May 2016 issue, Swift revealed was in no hurry to release her new album.

“[I’m] going to live my life a little bit without the pressure on myself to create something,” she explained at the time, adding that her short-term plans included learning how to make a “good drink” and getting CPR-certified.

Taylor Swift went through two highly-publicized splits in 2016

Before opting to take some time away from the spotlight at the end of last year, Swift split from Calvin Harris in May 2016 and from Tom Hiddleston months later. Since then, Swift’s “surrounded herself with close friends who support her,” said the source. “She seems very happy.”

“[Taylor Swift] is very excited about her new album,” added the People Magazine source. “She can’t wait to share with her fans later this year.”
