Taylor Swift teases new song Carolina in Where The Crawdads Sing trailer

officialcharts.com:

Taylor 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.
