Taylor Swift Releases “Welcome To New York”! Celebrates New Single With Instagram Photos Of Her Life In The Big Apple!

Taylor Swift loves New York!

The "Shake It Off" singer released the third single from her upcoming album "1989" on Tuesday, Oct. 21. And while the song, entitled "Welcome To New York," celebrates her move to the Big Apple, Swift decided to share a few personal photos of her life in NYC on Instagram.

Poised to be a synth pop anthem, "Welcome to New York" features Swift doing what she does best, singing a love song. However, this one is dedicated to NYC.

"Walking through a crowd/ The village is aglow/ Kaleidoscope of loud heart beats/Under coats" croons Swift, declaring her love to the city that she moved to earlier this year.

On Instagram, the 24-year-old treated fans to a glimpse inside her New York experience.

"Having family that feels like your best friend and best friends who feel like family. #WelcomeToNewYork," Swift captioned a photo of her spending time with her brother Austin and BFF Karlie Kloss.

Swift also shared a pic of some sweet treats from a well-known New York bakery.

"The Levain Bakery cookies that turned my day around," the singer captioned the photo. (We can attest that these cookies are life changers.)

Swift, whose album "1989" drops on Monday, Oct. 27, also took her followers inside her Tribeca apartment.

"The day I woke up to all these house warming presents that came in the mail from @jaime_king and @kyle_newman Huddled on the floor with joy PS: find Olivia," wrote Swift.

"Brick walls and sweaters," she captioned another snap.

As for the inspiration behind the single, as well as the new album, Swift told Esquire in an interview that striking out on her own in NYC has definitely informed her songwriting.

"I never thought I'd live in New York, because I thought I'd be too overwhelmed by how busy and bright and crazy the city is. Then all of a sudden, this year, all I wanted to do was live in New York. I never thought I would be so happy being completely unattached to anyone romantically," confessed Swift.

The singer told the publication that she is thrilled that fans will now see what she has been up to during her time in the Big Apple.

"It's so exciting to unveil who you've been for the last two years," said Swift. "My life has changed drastically in the last year and a half."
