The TV special "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin Eve", which will once again feature TV personality Ryan Seacrest as a host, is scheduled to air live on ABC on New Year's Eve, reports aceshowbiz.com.
However, it's unclear what time the video will premiere on the show or if Swift will appear in person to introduce it.
"Out of the woods" serves as the sixth single off Swift's "1989" album, following "Shake it off", "Blank space", "Style," "Bad blood" and "Wildest dreams" all of which peaked inside the top 10 of Billboard Hot 100.
The 26-year-old singer is said to have filmed the video in between shows on her Australia/New Zealand tour last month.

Kajol: Nice phase to be in Bollywood now
With artistes getting their due credit in Bollywood now, superstar Kajol says it's the best time for an actor to be in the Hindi film industry.
Kajol
Kajol, 41, who made a comeback on the silver screen after a gap of five years with Shah Rukh Khan-starrer "Dilwale", said Bollywood has films for every performer be it male or female dominated.
"Our film industry is in a wonderful phase, where we are at right now. As actors, we have a world in front of us.
"Male, female, hero, heroine and what we used to call character actors, everybody has the chance to have a film that centres around them with nobody taking away anything from anyone. Right now, it's a nice place to be an actor," Kajol told PTI.
Asked her opinion on the female pay disparity in Bollywood and Hollywood, the 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' star said it's a global issue.
"I think it's definitely prevalent in Bollywood. It's world over. It's a male dominated business. I also think we have a Meryl Streep, who has done 'Mamma Mia!'. We have Julia Roberts, who has done 'Notting Hill'. I cried in 'Skyfall' after watching Judi Dench. We have so many actresses, who have done so much fantastic work today despite being paid less."
Kajol said it's completely fine for a middle-aged actress if she is not getting to play a college girl.
"If you talk about typical typecast of a herione, may be they cannot currently play a 16-year-old bubbly girl and rejecting or not getting roles, that is perfectly fine. You have to find a film that works for you."
But the mother of two is happy that the scenario is different in the small screen.
"TV has only women-centric shows. On these shows, men are playing the side roles."

Recently, Yash Raj Films released a poster on its Twitter page saying, "Its time for an adrenaline rush. Stay tuned! #DhoomReloaded."
The production house also shared a video montage, which weaves together high-octane and memorable sequences from its three previous 'Dhoom' films.
'Dhoom' is an Indian buddy-cop-action film series. The series revolve around Jai Dixit (Abhishek Bachchan), a cop and his sidekick Ali (Uday Chopra), who attempt to capture wanted, professional thieves.
"I don't know about 'Dhoom Reloaded'. I don't know if it's a film or a music video," Abhishek told reporters here at an event.
The 39-year-old actor has been in news for his two other movies -- 'Hera Pheri 3' and 'Housefull 3'.
"It's been three days since I finished 'Housefull 3', my next release. Now post production and dubbing will start. While we are still working on 'Hera Pheri 3'," he said.
