Taylor Swift said 2020 had been ‘weird’ as she looked forward to a brighter 2021.

It featured Taylor brandishing her middle finger at the camera, which her pal used to stand in for the past year.
Good riddance! Taylor Swift’s friend Claire Winter Kislinger said ‘See ya never 2020’ on New Year’s Day with a playfully throwback snap of the singer giving the camera the finger

The photo appeared to be a throwback she had taken of the 31-year-old songstress, who had on a purple striped dress covered in glittering sequins.
She was looking over the shoulder of a man who had his arm around her, though it wasn’t clear if it was her boyfriend Joe Alwyn.
Claire, who is a jewelry designer, has regularly attended Taylor’s performances in the past and has even accompanied her friend to award shows.

Taylor’s post comes days after her surprise album Evermore had topped the Billboard 200 chart for the second week in a row.
The album was released with little warning on December 11, following her surprise-released album Folklore from July.
Earlier in December, Taylor explained to Zane Lowe that the sibling albums took their inspiration and moods from the seasons.
‘One thing I wanted to do with Folklore is I wanted it to represent spring and summer. And when I made Evermore, I knew that I wanted to fill in the rest of the seasons of the year and have it reflect fall and winter,’ she said
