So nice, she wore it twice.

Taylor Swift surprised and delighted fans on Tuesday by announcing a new song, “Patient Zero,” which will be out on Friday.

“I’ve been impatiently waiting to tell you that my brand new single ‘Patient Zero’ will be out on September 25 (!!!!!!!!!!!!) and it’s available to pre-order now on my website for 24 hours,” the Grammy winner shared on Instagram, along with the artwork featured on one of the three different single covers: a sultry shot of Swift posing in profile.

But it was a shot of the superstar in a black lacy Staud top that caught our eye first — because it’s a style we’ve spotted on her before.

Taylor Swift "Patient Zero" limited edition CD.

“Patient Zero” is out Sept. 25.

Swift wore the same draped cami for a London date night with her now-husband, Travis Kelce, in May, pairing it with a matching Fleur du Mal skirt, Toteme leather coat, Rabanne bag and Celine sandals.

While it might be a stretch to call the top itself an Easter egg, this wouldn’t be the first time the chart-topper turned to Staud to help tease new music.

Ahead of releasing her “Toy Story 5” song “I Knew It, I Knew You,” Swift stepped out in NYC wearing a blue-and-white striped Staud midi dress along with a yellow Lady Dior bag, red-soled Christian Louboutin sandals and her signature scarlet lipstick, perfectly matching the animated film franchise’s color palette.

In April, Swift teased her upcoming “Toy Story 5” soundtrack contribution in an outfit featuring the film franchise’s red, blue and yellow color palette — including a striped Staud dress. GC Images
