Hello. Yes. T. Swift is back (insert Titanic gif of old Rose saying, “It’s been 84 years…” here). Following an Internet-breaking social media blackout (and then, three days later, cryptic snake video after snake video after snake video), the Swizzle has returned with an NBD announcement: She's dropping a new single tomorrow!
