Taylor wrote the track ‘alone’ and produced it alongside long-time friend and music collaborator Aaron Dessner.
The pair co-produced Taylor’s smash hit eighth and ninth studio albums, folklore and evermore, which provided solace to millions during Covid lockdowns.
Carolina is set to feature in the upcoming movie version of Where the Crawdads Sing, the 2018 murder mystery novel by American author Delia Owens – and a clip of the song is in a recently-shared trailer for the movie.
The movie will star 23-year-old actress Daisy

The Love Story singer wrote in an Instagram caption: ‘I wrote the song Carolina alone and asked my friend @aarondessner to produce it. I wanted to create something haunting and ethereal to match this mesmerising story.’
While the song does not have an official release date yet, Taylor added
that the full version of Carolina will be available in full ‘soon.’
She added: ‘You’ll hear it fully soon, but for now check out the @crawdadsmovie trailer for a clip!’
Taylor’s caption was written below a post of the full trailer and snippets of lyrics that can be heard in the teaser include the lines: ‘You didn’t see me here’ and, ‘There are places I will never go to, things that only Carolina will ever know.’
The Blank Space singer also discussed her love for the novel the film is based on, in addition to praising both Daisy and Reese.
Taylor added: ‘Where 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 @daisyedgarjones and produced by the brilliant @reesewitherspoon, I knew I wanted to be a part of it from the musical side.’
This Love (Taylor’s Version) is available now.
