Taylor Swift has released a new track for the film adaptation of Where the Crawdads Sing titled Carolina.

Her longing and her stillness. The juxtaposition of her loneliness and independence. I’ve gotten to talk with her a couple of times about what inspired the song and how she wrote it. Obviously, she’s a beautiful songwriter who understands so much about folk and country music, and it’s her appreciation of those genres that made the song so perfect for this film. It acts as almost a loose re-telling of the events of the book, painting the picture of Kya as a social outcast in civilization despite finding freedom and self-sufficiency in the North Carolina marsh. Initially teased in the film's first trailer back in March, the song is available to listen to in its entirety now on YouTube and just about every major music platform.
