Grammy-winning singer Taylor Swift has released a cheerful pop duet called "ME!" along with a colourful video filled with pastel-drenched images of butterflies, rainbows and a young couple in love.
"ME!" features Brendon Urie, the lead singer of Panic! at the Disco, who at the video's start is fighting with Swift in a conversation in French.
The video turns upbeat as the music starts. "I promise that you'll never find another like me ... I'm the only one of me. Baby that's the fun of me," Swift sings.
Swift, 29, had been teasing an announcement for days on social media with pastel images that turned out to be scenes from the new video.
"'ME!' is a song about embracing your individuality and really celebrating it and owning it," Swift said hours earlier during an interview with ABC US.
"With a pop song, we have the ability to get a melody stuck in people's heads and I just want it to be one that makes them feel better about themselves."
Swift began her career as a country singer in Nashville, Tennessee, at age 15 before branching out with pop hits such as "Shake It Off" and "Bad Blood."
