The new tune will be released immediately on Friday, April 26.
On Thursday in Nashville, the 29-year-old surprised fans when she unveiled a butterfly mural designed by street artist Kelsey Montague that featured the text, “ME!”
The musician said on Instagram Story:
“We’ve commissioned this butterfly mural to be painted on a wall in Nashville and put clues about the song and the new music in the new mural.”
As we reported in March, while accepting the award for “Tour of the Year” at the 2019 iHeartRadio Music Awards, Swift promised “new music” coming soon.
During her acceptance speech, the starlet also gave a special shoutout to her haters who thought her tour would be a “flop”! She exclaimed:
“So, I think one of the most wonderful things about the way that this whole tour turned out is that for like the entire six months leading up to the first show of this tour, every headline that I read about the tour was, ‘This is going to be a massive failure. This is going to be a flop tour’… And it really did wonders for my self-esteem. It was really great to hear people saying that I was going to be playing to nearly empty stadiums.’”
Of course, the live extravaganza was anything but a flop as it set a new record for the highest-grossing U.S. tour in history.
Joe Alwyn‘s girlfriend continued:
“I’ve learned a lot… One of the things I’ve learned is that life is really unpredictable. People can make forecasts and they can make predictions… predictions and forecasts may not come true if there is an unforeseeable factor involved, and that unforeseeable factor in this case was my fans. I honestly owe everything in my life to you. … You guys are the reason why this tour — the only reason why this tour — wasn’t a massive failure, and why it ended up being the highest-selling tour in U.S. history.”
We can’t wait to hear Taylor and Brendon’s new song!
Will YOU be listening?? SOUND OFF (below)!
