Taylor Swift has released “Patient Zero” and three additional songs as part of The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore. Listen to that song along with “Cleveland!,” “Pink Clouding,” and “Babylon” below. A “Patient Zero” video is also on the way, but fans will have to wait to see the whole thing—which stars Swift, Colin Farrell, and Dakota Johnson—on Sunday night at the VMAs.
Encore is the latest redux of a 2025 album that already had expansions with names such as So Glamorous Cabaret Version and So Punk on the Internet Version. Swift wrote the extra tracks with collaborators Max Martin and Shellback, after visiting them in Sweden to celebrate the original LP’s success.
Since sending Showgirl to No. 1 last October, Swift has been inducted into both the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the National Recording Registry, and released a song called “I Knew It, I Knew You” for Toy Story 5. At Sunday’s VMAs, she will receive the inaugural “Artist Director Honors,” an award seemingly invented to justify her attendance.
