Taylor Swift releases Patient Zero later this week

Swift drops the single Patient Zero on September 25, available in three CD formats and as pre-orders.

Taylor Swift's new single Patient Zero arrives Thursday, September 25. Fans can pre-order one of three physical versions: a black double-sided CD, a periwinkle acoustic edition, or a dark orange piano version.

Patient Zero is Swift's first release since the Toy Story 5 track I Knew It, I Knew You in June. The same week, on Sunday September 27, Swift gets the first MTV VMA Artist Director Honors.

This celebrates her lasting creative impact as a director. She also recently appeared in a filmed cameo on Law & Order: SVU with host Mariska Hargitay.

This was a nod to the character who inspired the name of one of her three cats, Olivia Benson.
