Why did Taylor sing her ex’s song? Well it’s because it’s her song too. On July 2016, TMZ reported that the track was co-written with Harris's then-girlfriend Taylor Swift, who used the pseudonym Nils Sjöberg because they did not want their relationship to overshadow the song.
Meanwhile, Swift fans are speculating that the singer could be set to release a new album after she signed a deal with telecom company AT&T.
The phone providers announced earlier this month that they have teamed up with Swift for “a major, exclusive multi-year, multi-faceted deal featuring performances and content”. The deal has been confirmed to include a AT&T-sponsored pre-Super Bowl gig in Houston, Texas next February.
Reacting to the news on Twitter, Swift said, “This is gonna be fun.”
