Taylor Swift<\/a><\/strong> continues to bring the hits!<\/p>\n

The superstar singer took to Instagram Live on Tuesday afternoon to announce her new song, “The Archer.” The song, co-produced by Swift and Jack Antonoff<\/strong>, will be track five on her upcoming 18-track album, Lover<\/em>, which is set for release in exactly one month.<\/p>\n

“I really wanted to give you track five before the album came out,” Swift said during her Instagram Live, which she did from the set of her new music video. “As I was making albums, I was putting a very vulnerable, personal, honest, emotional song as track five.”<\/p>\n

Fun fact: Archer is the zodiac symbol for Sagittarius, which happens to be Swift’s astrological sign. The track appears to be a nod to Swift’s relationship with her longtime love, actor Joe Alwyn<\/a><\/strong>. In “The Archer,” Swift wonders, “Who could stay?” But, by the end of the song, she has a realization, singing, “You could stay.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“Combat, I’m ready for combat, I say I don’t want that\/But what if I do?” Swing sings in the beginning of the track. “‘Cause cruelty wins in the movies\/I’ve got a hundred thrown out speeches I almost said to you.”<\/p>\n

In the early part of the track, Swift declares that she’s ready for battle, ready to fight for a relationship.<\/p>\n

“Easy they come, easy they go, I jump from the train, I ride off alone,” Swift continues. “I never grew up, it’s getting so old\/Help me hold onto you.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“I’ve been the archer, I’ve been the prey\/Who could ever leave me darling, but who could stay?” Swift wonders. “Dark side, I search for your dark side\/But what if I’m all right, right, right, right here? And I cut off, my nose just to spite my face\/Then I hate my reflection, for years and years.”<\/p>\n

In this part of the song, Swift references overreacting to situations, which would only leave her with regret and guilt.<\/p>\n

T.Swift also announced during her Instagram Live on Tuesday that she will be including 120 pages of her diaries in the deluxe edition of her Lover<\/em> album.<\/p>\n

Prior to her announcement on Tuesday, Swift teased the Easter egg reveal<\/a> on social media.<\/p>\n

“I have some stuff I’m reeeeeally excited to tell you about, including some info on this Easter egg right here,” Swift wrote to her fans alongside a clip from the “YNTCD” music video. The 29-year-old Grammy winner also added the bow emoji, the direct hit emoji, the eyes emoji and the arrow up emoji in her caption.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Swift actually hinted at “The Archer” song title in her “ME!” music video<\/a>, which features the word “Lover.” The word is shown in the music video with an arrow through a heart.<\/p>\n

Prior to her reveal on Tuesday, it was announced that Swift earned 10 nominations<\/a> for this year’s 2019 MTV Video Music Awards<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Lover<\/em> is available on Aug. 23.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
