On the first song from her album The Tortured Poets Department, Taylor bares her soul about a betrayal and relationship breakup. The song and video feature American rapper, singer-songwriter and producer Post Malone.

The haunting folk ballad “Carolina” was written by Taylor Swift for the movie adaptation of the book Where the Crawdads Sing. The story is about Kia, who was abandoned as a girl and grew up on a marsh in the state of North Carolina. As a young woman, she becomes the prime suspect in the murder of a man who once romantically pursued her.
