Taylor Swift Latest News: Singer to Release Fifth Single 'Wildest Dreams' Off Five-Time Platinum '1989'
Pop sensation Taylor Swift is certainly living the dream. Her latest album "1989" has been a runaway hit with five-time album. Recently, Swift announced that she will be releasing a fifth single from the album, selecting "Wildest Dreams," as her next song.
According to IB Times, Swift took to her Twitter handle on Wednesday to announce the single.
"Wildest Dreams" narrates the story of how Swift approaches relationships now. Talking to NPR, Swift said, "If I meet someone who I feel I have a connection with, the first thought I have is: 'When this ends, I hope it ends well. I hope you remember me well.' Which is not anything close to the way I used to think about relationships. It's that realization that it's the anomaly if something works out; it's not a given."
