To celebrate the exhilarating news, she treated fans to a dark and slinky new song called "Prophet," which she's been playing on the road for a couple of months. The recorded version, nevertheless, ups the drama, with the 20-year-old shifting between "prophet" and "profit" to describe a ravenous hunger for someone.
