Taylor Swift Teases New ‘1989’ Single Release on iTunes

Taylor Swift has been teasing song lyrics from her new album, 1989, over the past few days. Last night (October 18), however, she revealed something even bigger – a worldwide iTunes release. “Heads up! Something’s happening on @itunesmusic at around 11:59pm EST Monday night..,” she said on Twitter.

Swift posted two photos with her announcement, including one of her standing on a balcony with a view overlooking the Big Apple. This has led fans to believe that the “Out Of The Woods” star plans to release a song called “Welcome to New York,” which is reportedly co-written by OneRepublic‘s Ryan Tedder. (Swift has said that this rumored 1989 tracklist wasn’t accurate, save for how “Shake It Off” is listed as the sixth track.) See the announcement below.

Earlier this spring, the singer’s recent move into a Tribeca apartment made headlines. To start, the abode was reportedly worth around $15 million and previously belonged to Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson. Once she settled in, Swift has raved about living in the city.

I never thought I’d live in New York, because I thought I’d be too overwhelmed by how busy and bright and crazy the city is,” she said to Esquire. “Then all of a sudden, this year, all I want to do was live in New York. I never thought I would be so happy being completely unattached to anything romantically.”

Naturally, as friends who suddenly live far away from each other would do, she has since tried to get Selena Gomez to move to New York as well.
