Singer Taylor Swift’s rapid rise to fame transformed her from “the girl next door” into edgy pop star, and nothing makes that more evident than her latest single.
According to The New York Times, Swift collaborated with former One Direction member Zayn Malik to create a song for “Fifty Shades Darker,” the sequel to “Fifty Shades of Grey,” a film that revolves around the sexual relationship between a female college graduates and a BDSM-obsessed billionaire.
On December 8, Swift tweeted a clip of the song, “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever,” accompanied by steamy scenes from the movie. The album of the year Grammy winner captioned the tweet, “#fiftyshadesdarker #idontwannaliveforever.” In another tweet, she posted artwork from the film captioned, “@fiftyshades #fiftyshadesdarker @itunes.”
The song was produced by Lena Dunham’s “feminist-friendly” boyfriend, Jack Antonoff, who helped write the song with Swift and singer-songwriter Sam Dew.
Swift, who was recently scolded by the media for not endorsing presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, hasn’t put out new music since 2014.
