After teasing something to her fans with a series of cryptic bullseye images on social media over the last week, Taylor Swift released a brand new song titled The Archer on Tuesday.
The emotional song, from the 29-year-old singer’s upcoming seventh studio album, Lover, dropped after a lengthy and informative Instagram video posted by Swift.
The Wildest Dreams singer revealed it was one of the tracks she worked on with American record producer and Bleachers frontman Jack Antonoff.
“There’s a vast part of this album that I worked with Jack Antonoff on, and he is phenomenal,” she said. “We’ve worked together for a while, and I’m so proud of the work that we’ve done on this album.”
