  "account": "Over the past seven months, Taylor Swift has been dropping hints about her upcoming single \"Patient Zero\" through various Easter eggs. Her music video for \"Opalite\" featured clues such as a poster reading \"Patient for the encore\" and scorecards with the number zero. Swift also subtly changed her social media bios and website, replacing the letter \"O\" with zeros and adding a countdown clock to her website. During her appearance on \"Law & Order: Special Victims Unit\" during the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards, Swift hinted at hiding clues \"in plain sight\" and gave a wordplay related to \"encore.\" Additionally, three pages have now been added to her \"My Letter\" section on her website. \"Patient Zero\" will be released this Friday on streaming platforms and through her official merchandise storefront.",
