Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter. She is known for narrative songs about her personal life, which have received widespread media coverage. At age 14, Swift became the youngest artist signed by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house and, at 15, she signed her first record deal.
Her 2006 eponymous debut album was the longest-charting album of the 2000s in the US. Its third single, "Our Song", made her the youngest person to single-handedly write and perform a number-one song on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Swift's second album, Fearless, was released in 2008.
Buoyed by the pop crossover success of the singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me", it became the US' best-selling album of 2009 and was certified diamond in the US. The album won four Grammy Awards, and Swift became the youngest Album of the Year winner.
Taylor Swift teases new song Carolina in Where The Crawdads Sing trailer
officialcharts.comTaylor Swift has released a snippet of a new song in the trailer the upcoming adaption of Where The Crawdads Sing. Carolina - a new composition written for inclusion on the film - can be heard in the trailer for the new film, which stars Normal People's Daisy Edgar-Jones.
Where The Crawdads Sing is being adapted from the best-selling book of the same name by Delia Owens. The plot of the book follows Kya (Edgar-Jones) who grows up in an isolated marsh in South Carolina, linking into the investigation into a murder years later.
From the snatches we get in the film's trailer (watch below), Carolina sounds like a luscious piano-based ballad, taking a leaf out of the cottagecore sonics of Folklore and Evermore, with a dramatic orchestral flourishes reminiscent of early Lana Del Rey. "They never did see me here," Taylor sings. "There are places I will never, never go." The track is, of course, named after the American state in which the book and movie are set.
No information yet on when Carolina will be released in full. As for Taylor herself, this is the first bit of new music we've got from her so far this year; she's currently still in the midst of re-recording her past albums - although fans are still guessing over which (Taylor Swift, Speak Now, 1989 or Reputation) we'll get the (Taylor's Version) of next.
