As a child growing up in Manhattan, William Helmreich played a game with his father called “Last Stop.” They would pick a subway line, ride it to its final destination, and explore the neighborhood. Decades later, his love for exploring the city is as strong as ever. Putting his feet to the test, he decided that the only way to truly understand New York was to walk virtually every block of all five boroughs—an astonishing 6,000 miles. His journey took him to every corner of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Helmreich spoke with hundreds of New Yorkers from every part of the globe and all walks of life. He finds that to be a New Yorker is to struggle to understand the place and to make a life that is as highly local as it is dynamically cosmopolitan. Truly unforgettable, The New York Nobody Knows will forever change how you view the world’s greatest city.

De productie van het album gebeurde in samenwerking met Max Martin en Shellback, waarmee ze eerder iconische albums als Red, 1989 en Reputation realiseerde. Swift koos voor deze samenwerking vanwege de wens om melodieën te creëren die, in haar woorden, 'infectious' zijn, in tegenstelling tot het lyrisch zwaargewicht van haar vorige werk. Tijdens het opnameproces liet Swift zich inspireren door het bruisende leven achter de schermen van de tour, wat terug te horen is in de opgewekte en dramatische toon van het album. Enkele opvallende nummers zijn …
