Taylor Swift Announces New Single 'Patient Zero' Releasing September 25PreviousNext

Taylor Swift announced her new single "Patient Zero" will be released on September 25, following a two-hour countdown on her website. The release includes multiple editions, such as acoustic and piano versions, each with unique artwork. Swift's website and social media have adopted a darker theme, with clues like replacing the letter "O" with zeroes hinting at the new track.
