The unofficial color of the NFL Draft show on ABC Thursday night was pink. Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray, the #1 pick by the Cardinals, strutted onstage in a pink, three-piece suit. And the pink-tipped and -accented Taylor Swift cannily (what else?) took her talents to network prime time—the Draft is airing from Nashville, this year’s host city—as the platform for incrementally busting out her relentlessly teased “big reveal,” which turned out to be a song called “ME!”
An hour after joining Robin Roberts for the open, Tay confirmed the title—along with the fact that it features Brendon Urie from Panic! at the Disco. She also made sure to hype the song’s midnight (ET) release.
Earlier, Tay unveiled a mural she commissioned artist Kelsey Montague to create in Nashville. Fans were going into overdrive trying to decipher what the clues from the mural, along with previous posts having to do with her countdown to 4/26. This would be Swift's first release since re-signing her deal with UMG via Republic.
On brand with the pastel aesthetic the superstar had been teasing on socials the last few weeks, the butterfly mural contains hearts, rainbows, flowers, cats, stars and the word "ME!" right in the middle of piece.
So... @kelsmontagueart helped me pull off the best surprise clue reveal today in Nashville! Thank you to everyone who showed up, I’ve never been more proud of your FBI level detective skills. Next clue: I’ll be joining the magnificent @robinroberts for a chat tonight on ABC 💕 pic.twitter.com/TGmvbiWJWV
