During the BRIT Awards red carpet on Tuesday night, Sheeran confirmed he had a new single coming featuring Swift — putting to rest varying rumors that the two were planning to work together. In a tweet early Wednesday morning, the "Bad Habits" singer officially announced that fans could listen to a remixed debut of "The Joker and the Queen" on Friday, Feb. 11.

"The Joker and the Queen featuring my good friend @taylorswift13 is out this Friday," Sheeran wrote early Wednesday morning, following his performance of the song at the awards show. "Link in bio to pre-save it."

This isn't the first time the longtime friends have collaborated, as Sheeran has joined Swift on three of her songs over the years: "Everything Has Changed" (from 2012's Red), "End Game" (from 2017's Reputation), and "Run," a vault track on 2021's Red (Taylor's Version). But it is the first time that Swift has joined Sheeran for one of his songs. (Hey, every friendship is a two-way street.)

"The Joker and the Queen" is the fourth single from Sheeran's fourth studio album =, whose singles have been topping U.K. charts since its debut last year. Between that and Swift's massive popularity, the duo's team-up basically ensures that they'll have a huge hit on their hands. And we can't wait to hear what they come up with.
