'Fortnight' with Post Malone is lead single Taylor Swift's 'Tortured Poets'
Taylor Swift shared the news on Instagram at 2 p.m. ET that her collaboration with Post Malone will hit radio stations
Swift sent a preview of the new music video out showing the majority of the teaser in a black and white filter with splashes of color.
The iconography includes hundreds of burning pages thrown into the air, an insane asylum room where she flings furniture to shatter a mirror and an Emily Dickinson-style dress.
The haunting melody about a suburban wife who lives next door to a married man she longs for.
The two shared a fortnight of embraces, but even the “good neighbor” pleasantries wear off and Swift’s character flees to “Florida!!!”
Post Malone sings backup harmonies until the end of the song. His smooth vocals come in for a last verse.
He’s calling, but Swift’s character won’t pick up. She’s calling, and he won’t pick up. Wires crossed, she escapes in a getaway car to the state she sings about in Track 8.
On Thursday, ahead of the album, Swift posted on Instagram that the first track would be the first single.
I got to witness that magic come to life firsthand when we worked together on Fortnight
