Swift is expected to make a full return to music in 2017 with reports claiming the pop star is working on new material with Canadian rapper Drake.
Swift's duet with Malik, 23, came as a surprise to fans as the musicians had never worked together before.
Explaining how the collaboration came about, Malik told radio host Elvis Duran earlier in December: "The interesting thing was she's actually friends with Gi [Hadid] so [Swift] already reached out because Jack [Antonoff] had just played her the song anyway. She mentioned to me that she liked the song so I already kind of knew in the back of my head that she liked it so I asked her if she wanted to be on it and she was cool with it."
