Uncover the Intriguing Story Behind Taylor Swift’s New Hit “Fortnight”!
Taylor Swift and Post Malone have joined forces to create a musical masterpiece with their collaboration, “Fortnight.” This dynamic duo co-wrote the song, which serves as the lead single off of Swift’s highly anticipated eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department. Fans can expect the official music video for this epic duet to drop on Friday evening.
In British English, a “fortnight” symbolizes a period of two weeks, a theme that Swift cleverly references with peace signs in her social media posts and live performances. The poignant lyrics of the track narrate a tale of fleeting romance, where two individuals escape from the world for a brief moment in time. Swift delves into the aftermath of this whirlwind relationship, highlighting feelings of jealousy and longing with lines like, “Your wife waters flowers, I wanna kill her.”
The song concludes with Swift proposing a fresh start in Florida, perhaps hinting at another collaboration on The Tortured Poets Department titled “Florida!!!,” featuring Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine.
Swift tantalized fans with a sneak peek of the collaboration on Instagram, praising Post Malone for his genre-defying style and irresistible melodies. “Iâve 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,” she gushed. “I got to witness that magic come to life firsthand when we worked together on âFortnight.â”
The musical chemistry between Malone and Swift blossomed when they first crossed paths backstage at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards. Swift admitted her envy of Malone’s hit single, âBetter Now,â while Malone expressed his admiration for Swift’s exceptional songwriting abilities.
