'We're thrilled to reach a deal to bring Taylor and her unique talents to her fans and our customers in new and exclusive ways,' AT&T Entertainment Group CEO John Stankey said at the time.
Malik released his own acoustic version of 'I Don't Wanna Live Forever' on Friday. The 24-year-old English singer and Swift recorded the song for the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack.
'I've known Zayn for a really long time,' Swift said in a behind-the-scenes video in January. 'I think his voice is one of those that is really rare and I think he's really special and wonderful and it's really, really amazing to get to work together.'
Taylor Swift has signed a multi-year, multi-faceted deal with AT&T that will pair the 10-time Grammy winner with the telecom company for years to come. “As far as I know, I’m doing one show in 2017,” Taylor Swift emphasized early during her 18-song set in Texas on the eve of Super Bowl Sunday. “By coming here tonight you are essentially attending. Taylor Swift, at some point, is going to release a new album. Taylor Swift will want to promote that album. Taylor Swift will do so by headlining the Super Bowl Halftime Show. Taylor Swift will not be headed to the Super Bowl Halftime Show – and it’s because of soda?! Reports are bubbling that Taylor would sing at the big game, but a source tells Access Hollywood it’s “not happening.” The reason Taylor won’t be performing at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., is her existing deal ….
'It's amazing when you get to work with people you hang out with,' she added. 'The question of will we get along is already answered. 'Yeah, we're going to sing and hang out. It's fine.'
