string folklore (2020) \u201cinvisible string\u201d is track eleven on Taylor\u2019s eighth studio album, folklore\u00a0(2020). She co-wrote it with Aaron Dessner. The song references an east Asian folk myth about a red (or in this case gold) thread of fate tying two soulmates together. Table of Contents Background and Release folklore was conceived by Taylor as figments of mythopoeic visuals in her mind, a result of her imagination \u201crunning wild\u201d while isolating herself during the Covid-19 pandemic. One such imagery was of \u201ca single thread that, for better or for worse, ties you to your fate\u201d. This concept gave birth to \u201cinvisible string\u201d. Taylor penned \u201cinvisible string\u201d, and composed and it with Aaron Dessner, who had created the instrumental for the song, called \u201cstella\u201d, in April 2020. On July 23, 2020, she announced folklore and revealed its track listing where \u201cinvisible string\u201d placed at number 11. The album was released a day later, on July 24, 2020. As a reference to the song, a golden thread was featured in the music video for \u201cwillow\u201d (2020), the lead single of Taylor\u2019s ninth studio album and folklore\u2018s \u201csister\u201d, evermore (2020). Lyrical Theme As the title suggests, the song centers on an invisible \u201cthread of gold\u201d that connects two soulmates and ushers them together in life. It is an airy folk tune with country elements, set to plucked strums of rubber-bridge guitar, fingerpicked acoustics, and back beats. Its lyrics depict Taylor\u2019s perspective of fate and destiny, using specific details that entwine select moments from her life and her lover\u2019s, the twists and turns that led the two former strangers to find each other, and narrates the pursuit of emotional healing and happiness through time. In the documentary\/concert film folklore: the long pond studio sessions, Taylor detailed what inspired her to write the song: \u00abWhen I first heard the track that [Aaron] sent me I thought, \u2018I have to write something that matches it\u2019. And pretty quickly I came upon the idea of fate. \u2018Cause sometimes I just go into a rabbit hole of thinking about how things happen and I love the romantic idea that every step you\u2019re taking, you\u2019re taking one step closer to what you\u2019re supposed to be, guided by this little invisible string. I wrote it right after I sent an ex a baby gift and I just remember thinking, \u2018This is a full signifier that life is great!\u2019\u00bb Taylor Swift The song is an allusion to the East Asian folk myth called The Red Thread of Fate, which originated from Chinese mythology. According to the belief, an invisible red cord (colored golden in Taylor\u2019s interpretation) is tied around the finger of those that are destined to meet one another in a certain situation as they are \u201ctheir true love\u201d. Connections to Taylor\u2019s Personal Life The lyrics in \u201cinvisible string\u201d give glimpses into Taylor\u2019s relationship with Joe Alwyn at the time; it recounts the \u201cinvisible\u201d thread existing between the two former strangers that they were not aware of until they met and fell in love. Taylor employs a distinct passive writing style in the song, and uses colors to paint memories. She incorporates ultra-specific details, such as: her affinity to Nashville\u2019s Centennial Park, Alwyn\u2019s time spent working at a London frozen yogurt shop before venturing into acting, and Taylor mailing gifts to the expectant child of her ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas and wife Sophie Turner. There are also allusions to her older songs in \u201cinvisible string\u201d: the lyric \u201cBad was the blood of the song in the cab on your first trip to L.A.\u201d referring to \u201cBad Blood\u201d (2014), the dive bar in \u201cDelicate\u201d (2017), and golden hues \u2013 the color of love according to Taylor \u2013 in \u201cDancing With Our Hands Tied\u201d (2017) and \u201cDaylight\u201d (2019). \u201cinvisible string\u201d further mentions her three-year trip with Alwyn to the Lake District, England, which is the narrative setting of \u201cthe lakes\u201c, the bonus track of folklore\u2018s deluxe edition. Production Regarding the song\u2019s production, producer Aaron Dessner told Vulture: \u201cThat was another one where it was music that I\u2019d been playing for a couple of months and sort of humming along to her. It felt like one of the songs that pulls you along. Just playing it on one guitar, it has this emotional locomotion in it, a meditative finger-picking pattern that I really gravitate to. It\u2019s played on this rubber bridge that my friend put on [the guitar] and it deadens the strings so that it sounds old. The core of it sounds like a folk song. It\u2019s also kind of a sneaky pop song, because of the beat that comes in. She knew that there was something coming because she said, \u2018You know, I love this and I\u2019m hearing something already.\u2019 And then she said, \u2018This will change the story,\u2019 this beautiful and direct kind of recounting of a relationship in its origin.\u201d Live Performances Taylor first performed \u201cinvisible string\u201d as part of the concert film and documentary folklore: the long pond studio sessions (2020), together with Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff. On \u201cThe Eras Tour\u201d (2023-2024), \u201cinvisible string\u201d was part of the regular setlist for the shows in Glendale and Las Vegas. Taylor replaced it with \u201cthe 1\u201d when the tour reached Arlington. One week later news broke that she and Joe had broken up. On July 17, 2024, she decided to play the song as part of an acoustic mashup with \u201cSuperstar\u201d (2009) in Gelsenkirchen. Critical Reception Pitchfork critic Julian Mapes praised \u201cinvisible string\u201d as one the \u201cloveliest\u201d songs on folklore for its \u201cdelightfully plucky\u201d instrumentals and standout lyricism, which Mapes paralleled with lines from classic English novels Jane Eyre (1847) and The Sun Also Rises (1926).
