During his interview with Howard Stern on his talk show, A Day in the Life crooner revealed that Taylor made the considerate decision of moving the release date of her ninth studio album evermore so that it would not conflict with McCartney's upcoming album. He said, "I did the Rolling Stone cover with Taylor Swift, and she just emailed me recently, and she said, 'I wasn't telling anyone, but I've got another album'." 

McCartney continued, "And she said, 'So I was going to put it out my birthday', which I think was on the 10th. And then she said, 'But I found out you were going to put out on the 10th. So I moved it to the 18th'."

He added, "And then she found out we were coming out on the 18th so she moved back to the 10th". The 18-time Grammy award-winning singer concluded saying, "So I mean, you know, people do keep out of each other’s way. It’s a nice thing to do."
