Her first new music since Reputation features Brendon Urie of Panic! at the Disco

Taylor Swift is back with her new song “ME!” The new single—which features Brendon Urie of Panic! at the Disco—arrives with an accompanying music video directed by Dave Meyers and Swift. The clip introduces Swift and Urie as the squabbling parents of two cats. Then, things get colorful. Watch it below, and watch her discuss the track in an interview with ABC’s Robin Roberts during the 2019 NFL Draft.

In addition to Swift and Urie, Joel Little is listed as a co-writer in the song’s credits. His previous credits include Lorde’s Pure Heroine as well as songs by Khalid, Sam Smith, Imagine Dragons, and more.

The track is Swift’s first new music since 2017’s Reputation. Last year, Swift broke her long-held political silence in support of the Democratic Party, made a surprise appearance at Jack Antonoff’s Ally Coalition Benefit, and released a Reputation concert film on Netflix. Earlier this month, Tay launched a mysterious countdown leading to April 26th. She’s also been sharing colorful images of everything from cats, to bedazzled hearts, to chickens wearing sunglasses.

Earlier today, Tay made a public appearance in Nashville, standing in front of a colorful butterfly mural that she secretly commissioned. Painted in black between the butterfly’s wings was one word: “ME!,” confirming speculation that new music was on its way.
