Over the weekend, the star announced that she has released two bonus tracks from her latest album, 'Evermore'.
"The evermore deluxe album with 2 bonus tracks “right where you left me” and “it’s time to go” is now available!"
She explained the meaning behind the two songs.
"The first is a song about a girl who stayed forever in the exact spot where her heart was broken, completely frozen in time. “it’s time to go” is about listening to your gut when it tells you to leave. How you always know before you know, you know?," she wrote.
