Excitement was high on social media where Taylor Nation declared, “We’re so depressed we act like it’s #ICanDoItWithABrokenHeart’s birthday every day! But today is special because Taylor’s declaring it the next single from #TSTTPD!” They also shared a peek at the sparkling new cover art available across all streaming platforms, featuring Swift in her dazzling stage outfit, complete with feathered fans.
Earlier, on July 9, Swift had released an acoustic version of “Fortnight,” collaborating with Post Malone.

A previous remix of “Fortnight” was done with DJ BLONDon May 21, enhancing the track with a surreal sound.
Taylor Swift is in the midst of her global Eras Tour and will be performing in Gelsenkirchen, Germany from July 17-19. Her tour will continue through Germany, Poland, Austria, and England, wrapping up on August 20. She plans to return to North America for more shows from October 18 through December 8.
At her London concert on June 23, Swift thrilled fans by inviting her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, on stage during a costume change for “I Can Do It with a Broken Heart.” Reflecting on her shows in Milan on July 15, where she encountered a few onstage surprises like swallowing a bug and dealing with a piano issue, Swift expressed her appreciation, stating, “MILAN was unforgettable. Those were definitely two of my favorite audiences ever. Thank you so much! We’ll be back!!”
