It’s official – the Dixie Chicks will appear on Taylor Swift’s much anticipated new album, Lover.

Swift shared the news on Friday (Aug. 16) when she revealed the complete track listing for the album, which is slated for an August 23 release.

According to Swift’s Instagram, the Dixie Chicks will appear on a song called “Soon You’ll Get Better,” the album’s 12th track.

Speculation over a Taylor Swift/Dixie Chicks collab began earlier this year with the debut of Swift’s “ME!” video, which included a photo of the Dixie Chicks on a wall in the opening scene.

Lover features a whopping 18 tracks marks a new chapter for the former country star.

“There are so many ways in which this album feels like a new beginning,” she told Vogue. “This album is really a love letter to love, in all of its maddening, passionate, exciting, enchanting, horrific, tragic, wonderful glory.”

The trio’s Natalie Maines, Martie Maguire and Emily Robison have also teased a new Dixie Chicks album and even shared a video of themselves in the studio with one of Swift’s frequent collaborators, singer/songwriter/producer, Jack Antonoff.

Lover will be available everywhere beginning Friday, August 23.
