evermore (2020) \u201cdorothea\u201d is the eighth song on Taylor\u2019s ninth alum, evermore\u00a0(2020), as well as the first song that she wrote for the album. Taylor referred to the titular character as a \u201cgirl who left her small town to chase down Hollywood dreams.\u201d It was inspired by her close friend Selena Gomez.The song tells the story set around two fictitious characters of Tupelo, a woman named Dorothea and an unnamed male subject, who were romantically involved in their youth, before the girl fled the town for Los Angeles to pursue her passion; \u201cdorothea\u201d is the man\u2019s ode to the now-famous Hollywood actress, seeing him confess his availability for her and tries to convince her into returning to the simplistic life back hometown. Dorothea does visit the town in her winter break and rekindles the old flame with him, which is narrated by Dorothea herself in the fellow track \u201c\u2019tis the damn season\u201c. Table of Contents Background and Release Taylor conceived her eighth studio album, folklore (2020), as a set of mythopoeic visuals in her mind, a result of her imagination \u201crunning wild\u201d while isolating herself during the Covid-19 pandemic. She surprised with the album\u2019s announcement on July 23, 2020, and released it the next day. To satiate her craving to explore more of the \u201cfolklorian woods\u201d she visualized in her mind, Taylor immediately developed another album as a conclusive counterpart to folklore, titled evermore. \u201cdorothea\u201d was one of the two songs she had written for Big Red Machine, a band consisting of her folklore personnel Aaron Dessner and Justin Vernon, the other being \u201cclosure\u201c; however, the two songs were eventually included on evermore\u2018s track-listing, where \u201cdorothea\u201d placed eighth. Identical to folklore\u2018s launch, Taylor made a surprise announcement of evermore on December 10, 2020, and released it the next day. In March 2026, American actress and singer-songwriter Selena Gomez, who is one of Taylor\u2019s oldest and closest friends, revealed on the Friends Keep Secrets podcast that the song was partially inspired by her: \u00abWell, \u2018dorothea\u2019 is about me, one of her songs. And I feel like a lot of moments\u2014huge moments that were self-defining from relationships to family to love to hate, all of it in between, we were figuring it out because I was 15 and she was 18, and we didn\u2019t really know what was going on. And so we\u2019ve never seen each other any differently. So when I listen to it, I\u2019m so impressed how it\u2019s eloquently put.\u00bb Selena Gomez Selena also inspired another one of Taylor\u2019s songs, the unreleased \u201cFamily.\u201d Lyrical Theme Lyrically, \u201cdorothea\u201d and another track from evermore, \u201c\u2019tis the damn season\u201d, together revolve around a fictitional story set in Tupelo, Mississippi. The story consists of two characters, Dorothea and an unnamed male subject, who were high-school lovers in their hometown Tupelo, until Dorothea decided to move to Los Angeles to pursue a Hollywood career, breaking up with him, who never wanted to leave the town. The track \u201cdorothea\u201d represents the man\u2019s perspective of his relationship with Dorothea after she becomes famous on television. He narrates his backstories of her, such as a skipped prom and feelings of separation, and attempts to convince Dorothea to return to the simplicity of rural life. The song has been compared to folklore\u2018s \u201cbetty\u201d due to Taylor\u2019s take on male perspectives. \u201c\u2019tis the damn season\u201d is narrated by Dorothea, who expresses her thoughts about him when she returns to Tupelo for winter vacation and reconnects with him. In an Q&#038;A session, Taylor answered that Dorothea went to the same school as Betty, James, and Inez, the three characters named in \u201cbetty\u201d, even though the two storylines do not intersect. Live Performances Taylor first performed \u201cdorothea\u201d on July 8, 2023, during her second Kansas City show on \u201cThe Eras Tour\u201d (2023-2024). She sang the song acoustically on piano. On June 9, 2024, she played it on acoustic guitar in Edinburgh, this time as a mashup with \u201cIt\u2019s Nice To Have A Friend\u201d (2019). Commercial Performance Upon evermore\u2018s release, all of the album\u2019s tracks debuted on both the US Billboard Hot Rock &#038; Alternative Songs and the all-genre Hot 100 charts; \u201cdorothea\u201d entered at No. 13 on the former, and at No. 67 on the latter. Elsewhere, it further reached No. 47 on Australia\u2019s ARIA Singles Chart and No. 34 on the Canadian Hot 100. \u201cdorothea\u201d also debuted at No. 47 on the Billboard Global 200 chart. Critical Reception Brodie Lancaster of The Sydney Morning Herald called \u201cdorothea\u201d a \u201cmasterwork of a character study\u201d. Annie Zaleski of The A.V. Club wrote that the song is for those \u201cwho struggle with feeling left behind by glamorous old friends\u201d. Writing for The Guardian, Alexis Petridis called the song \u201ca particularly luminous tune\u201d that eschews \u201cthe old country cliche in which a star tells you their life of fame and luxury is nothing compared to the warm comfort of their old small-town life\u201d, instead has a protagonist look at a now-famous friend and attempt to convince their return to the simpler life. Variety critic Chris Willman described the song\u2019s narrator as \u201ca honey in Tupelo who is telling a childhood friend who moved away and became famous that she\u2019s always welcome back in her hometown\u201d, and praised Taylor\u2019s \u201cempathic wondering\u201d\u2013\u201dhow it feels to be at the other end of the telescope\u201d. Commentators and fans have observed similarities between the character profile of Dorothea and that of American actress and singer Selena Gomez who is one of Taylor\u2019s best friends.
