Swift will perform Saturday, Feb. 4 in Houston, Texas, prior to Super Bowl LI on Sunday. The event is part of her multi-year deal with AT&T, which the company announced in October.
"We're thrilled to reach a deal to bring Taylor and her unique talents to her fans and our customers in new and exclusive ways," AT&T Entertainment Group CEO John Stankey said at the time.
Malik released his own acoustic version of "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" on Friday. The 24-year-old English singer and Swift recorded the song for the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack.
"I've known Zayn for a really long time," Swift said in a behind-the-scenes video in January. "I think his voice is one of those that is really rare and I think he's really special and wonderful and it's really, really amazing to get to work together."
"It's amazing when you get to work with people you hang out with," she added. "The question of will we get along is already answered. 'Yeah, we're going to sing and hang out. It's fine.'"
Malik previously told Elvis Duran and the Morning Show that his girlfriend, Swift's friend Gigi Hadid, helped facilitate the collaboration. Swift and Hadid celebrated hearing "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" for the first time on the radio this week.
