Last week, the Grammy-winning singer accidentally released “Shirt” on Spotify before removing it during the release of new Taylor Swift album Midnights.

While performing at Austin City Limits on Friday, October 14, Rowe teased that the “Shirt” music video was originally supposed to release that day.
“That was true,” she said. “But, it didn’t come out because I looked at the video, and I was stressed at one small thing in the video. But I fixed that, and it’s turned in and about to come out. That’s the truth.”
She continued with expressing that she wanted to deliver her long-awaited sophomore album to fans.
“If I wouldn’t be in so much trouble, I wanna sing all new songs, cause y’all deserve it,” she said.

Earlier this month, Rowe discussed her upcoming album in a Complex profile, saying that it was “all over the place.”
“I don’t even know what this album is about and what it sounds like,” she said. “Which is why I had to go to the mode of what feels good to my brain and to my energy and the songs that I think are hot, I just have to go with them. I have no idea what it sounds like to anybody else. I really don’t know. It’s so bizarre. It’s weird that I can’t put my finger on it. It’s a little bit of everything. It’s a little aggressive. Some parts are incredibly soft. Some of them are ballads.”
