Taylor Swift revealed Thursday (April 18) that "Fortnight" featuring Post Malone is the first single from The Tortured Poets Department, her much anticipated album that's out tomorrow (April 19).

Swift made the reveal in a post on her official Instagram account. "I've been such a huge fan of Post because of the writer he is, his musical experimentation and those melodies he creates that just stick in your head forever. I got to witness that magic come to life firsthand when we worked together on Fortnight. Honestly can't wait for you guys to hear this song at Midnight TONIGHT and see the video at 8pm ET TOMORROW," she wrote, along with sharing the cover art for the single, which is a photo of Swift with Post.

This is the second huge album release by another artist to include a Post Malone feature in recent weeks. He's also on Beyoncé's much talked about Cowboy Carter, featured on the track "Levii's Jeans," a song, which according to published reports, helped spike sales of the iconic brand of clothing.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, whose teammate Travis Kelce is Swift's boyfriend, let it spill during a recent interview with TIME that Swift has been working on a new music video in her downtime.

We can't confirm that Mahomes is referring to a video for the Post Malone collab, but it would seem likely. Then again, Swift may have shot several video clips to promote the new album ahead of its release.

Aside from Swift and Beyoncé, Post Malone has made several other guest appearances on other artists recordings, including guest spots on tracks by Noah Kahan, HIXTAPE, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, YG and Roddy Ricch; Young Thug and A$AP Rocky; Juice WRLD and Clever; Lil Wayne, French Montana, DJ Khaled; DeBaby and Megan Thee Stallion, and others.
