For this month, we’re sharing the chord chart for Patient Zero by Taylor Swift, a sleek pop single written and produced by Swift with longtime collaborators Max Martin and Shellback. It dropped on September 25, 2026 as the lead single from The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore, the expanded edition of her 2025 album. The four new songs, including this one, came together in Sweden while they were celebrating the original record.
Built on a medical metaphor, the track casts a toxic relationship as something contagious: Swift sings to the woman who got involved with the same man next, offering a warning and a little solidarity. The hook says it plainly: if you’re sick of him, she was patient zero. A string opening gives way to the punchy beat, which makes it a great one to learn on piano or guitar. She also directed the music video, which premiered at the MTV VMAs on September 27.
Enjoy, happy playing, and a Happy October from all of us at 123 Rock!
