Where The Crawdads Sing (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) | 2022 \u201cCarolina\u201d is a song written and recorded by Taylor for the mystery drama film Where the Crawdads Sing (2022). It was released via Republic Records on June 24, 2022. The film follows the life of a young woman named Kya who grew up in a marsh in North Carolina and becomes a suspect in the murder of a man who once romantically pursued her. The song received nominations at the Critics\u2019 Choice Awards, Golden Globe Awards, Grammy Awards, and Satellite Awards, amongst others.\u201cCarolina\u201d was the first all-new material from Taylor since she had issued her ninth studio album evermore at the end of 2020. Between those releases, she had had her attention on the expansive rollout campaigns for the re-recorded (Taylor\u2019s Version) editions of Fearless and RED. Table of Contents Background and Release Where the Crawdads Sing is a mystery drama film starring Daisy Edgar-Jones in the lead role, directed by Olivia Newman and produced by Reese Witherspoon. It is a film adaptation of the 2018 novel of the same name written by American author Delia Owens. The story revolves around a young girl who grew up in a marsh in North Carolina in the 1950s and becomes a suspect in the murder of a man who once romantically pursued her. The first trailer for the film was released on March 22, 2022, and featured \u201cCarolina\u201d being played in the background. The trailer also revealed that the song was written and performed by Taylor. Another snippet of the song was revealed through a longer trailer of the film on May 22, 2022. The release date of the song was teased by the film\u2019s official Instagram account, when they made a series of posts on June 22 with captions that had capitalized letters, spelling out \u201cCarolina This Thursday\u201d together. The next day, the song\u2019s release date was confirmed as June 24, 2022. A lyric video on YouTube accompanied the release. Writing and Lyrical Theme Taylor had read the book the movie is based on and loved it so much that she felt compelled to write a song for it. \u201cCarolina\u201d was written solely by Taylor and produced by her and Aaron Dessner, with whom she collaborated on her 2020 studio albums folklore and evermore. The lyrics are heavily inspired by nature. According to Witherspoon, Taylor wrote the song while working on folklore in early 2020 but did not reveal that she had written \u201cCarolina\u201d until after she finished the song. Taylor stated on Instagram: \u00abWhere The Crawdads Sing is a book I got absolutely lost in when I read it years ago. As soon as I heard there was a film in the works starring the incredible Daisy Edgar-Jones and produced by the brilliant Reese Witherspoon, I knew I wanted to be a part of it from the musical side. I wrote the song \u201cCarolina\u201d alone and asked my friend Aaron Dessner to produce it. I wanted to create something haunting and ethereal to match this mesmerizing story.\u00bb Taylor Swift When Olivia Newman, the film\u2019s director, heard the song, she was amazed by how tonally perfect it is. She told News Express US, \u201cIt is so beautiful. Every time the movie ends and that song comes on, it captures the feeling where you need to sit and digest what just happened. The song is the perfect vessel for those feelings. It sets exactly the right tone. But [Taylor writing a song] was very serendipitous because we hadn\u2019t shot the movie yet. For it to be such a perfect match was a gift. What a gift.\u201d Production \u201cCarolina\u201d plays over the ending credits. It incorporates elements of Americana and Appalachian folk music, was recorded in one take and only features instruments available before 1953 \u2014 around the time when Where the Crawdads Sing takes place: acoustic instruments, such as mandolin, fiddle, gentle guitar strums and \u201csweeping\u201d strings. Producer Aaron Dessner shared on Twitter, \u201cIt\u2019s one of my favorite songs Taylor Swift has written and it was an honor to help her record and produce it. We played old acoustic instruments and channeled the eery beauty of the North Carolina marsh where the story is set. It sounds fittingly like this recording could have been made a long time ago. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.\u201d Among the song\u2019s release Taylor also posted on Twitter, saying: \u00abAbout a year &#038; half ago I wrote a song about the story of a girl who always lived on the outside, looking in. Figuratively &#038; literally. The juxtaposition of her loneliness &#038; independence. Her curiosity &#038; fear all tangled up. Her persisting gentleness &#038; the world\u2019s betrayal of it. I wrote this one alone in the middle of the night and then Aaron Dessner and I meticulously worked on a sound that we felt would be authentic to the moment when this story takes place. I made a wish that one day you would hear it.\u00bb Taylor Swift Live Performance \u201cCarolina\u201d received its first live performance on June 15, 2024, in Liverpool, at one of Taylor\u2019s shows on \u201cThe Eras Tour\u201d (2023-2024). She played it as an acoustic mashup with \u201cno body, no crime\u201d (2020). Introducing the song, she said: \u00abNow, on basically all of my days when I\u2019m not doing shows, I\u2019m just constantly trying to figure out what songs to do for you, and what songs might go together. And then practicing them constantly. So, this is really where it all comes down for me during the show. It\u2019s just like the most amount of, \u2018Don\u2019t mess this up, don\u2019t mess this up,\u2019 cause it\u2019s also my favorite part of the show. Uhm, I\u2019m gonna call this \u2018The Murder Mashup.\u2019\u00bb Taylor Swift Critical Reception \u201cCarolina\u201d received acclaim from music critics.
