Taylor Swift is delighting fans yet again!
She teamed up with Ed Sheeran to provide fans with yet another amazing collaboration... although this isn't just any old collaboration. It's a sequel!
Taylor Swift & Ed Sheeran Team Up To Give Fans 'Everything Has Changed' Sequel!
In 2021, Ed Sheeran finally admitted that "Run" was actually the first song that he had ever written with Taylor Swift. Although it was cut from the original "Red" album in 2012, it made it onto "Red (Taylor's Version)" which was released last year.
Before then, everyone thought that their first collaboration was "Everything Has Changed." The song debuted on the original "Red" album in 2012 and the music video followed shortly afterward.
As it turns out, their new collaboration, titled "The Joker and the Queen" is actually the kids all grown up and in college!
So... Does Anyone Look Familiar?

Take a look!
Taylor Swift shared a clip of the music video to her Instagram Stories, inviting her fans to watch and thanking the actors for coming back!

“Ed and Taylor’s voices together is just PERFECT,” one fan wrote.
“The way that the concept of this video is basically a continuation of Everything Has Changed is just awesome!” another fan wrote. “And the fact that they casted the same kids but now all grown up is really making me feel nostalgic, can't believe it's been 10 years.”
"Only one word comes to mind: perfection," another fan commented.
“This song is the kind of comfort zone, when you’re in a different phase of your life, suddenly you remember how you used to be , the people around you even though you don’t talk much,” another shared. “You’d feel peaceful when you know they’ll be there for you whenever you need them.”
“I love Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift they never fail us, this song is like a lullaby to me,” another fan said. “Love this song.”
“It’s like a sad and teary continuation of everything has changed,” another wrote. “The actors are the same (which is something all in itself), and the song just follows on from a dreamt relationship into reality. I love this song, I love Taylor and Ed and I love how they both portrayed this so perfectly. Bravo.”
"Whenever they sing together it just gives me goose bumps," said another.
Is 'The Joker And The Queen' Going To Get Another Chapter?
Now that fans have seen them as kids, and now in college, many are asking if there is going to be a third installment of the couple as adults with kids of their own to close out the trilogy!
Fans aren't sure but if it's anything like the last installment, they'll find out in 2032!
