Taylor Swift Previews 'Welcome to New York' (LISTEN)

The release of 1989, the new album from Taylor Swift, is just a week away, but Swift is still previewing tracks from the hotly-anticipated album.

"Welcome to New York" is written by Taylor Swift and OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder and produced by Tedder, Swift and Noel Zancanella. In a press release, Swift talked a bit about the inspiration behind the song: "I started the album with 'Welcome to New York' because New York has been an important landscape and location for the story of my life in the last couple of years," Swift stated. "It’s like an electric city, and I approached moving there with such wide-eyed optimism. I saw New York as a place of endless potential and possibilities, and you can hear that reflected in this music and in this song."

The song will be made availabe on iTunes on Tuesday, but you can preview it below:
