Billboard believes that Swift is using the live stream to debut her new single from her upcoming 5th album. The album doesn’t have a release date and fans are already super excited. In the meantime, they can watch Swift live on MTV’s Video Music Awards on August 24. Recently, Swift was on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon where she talked to Fallon about the VMAs.
