Are you ready, Swifties?
Taylor Swift teased new music on her Instagram Story on Thursday morning.
Her new song “Carolina” is set to drop at midnight. It’s from the movie “Where the Crawdads Sing”.
Swift’s social media post shows the song’s title against a woodsy-like background and features a snippet of the singer’s vocals.
In March, the “Red” singer mentioned working on the music for the film via an Instagram post.
“Where ‘The Crawdads Sing’ is a book I got completely lost in when I read it years ago,” its caption read. “As soon as I heard a movie was in the works starring the amazing Daisy Edgar-Jones and produced by the brilliant Reese Witherspoon, I knew I wanted to be a part of it on the musical side.”
Swift went on to say that she wrote “Carolina” on her own and had her friend Aaron Dessner produce it. She said she wanted to “create something haunting and ethereal to match this compelling story”.
The film adaptation of Delia Owens’ bestselling novel stars Daisy Edgar-Jones (“Normal People”), Taylor John Smith (“Sharp Objects”) and Harris Dickinson (“The King’s Man”). It is directed by Olivia Newman (“First Match”) and is produced by 3000 Pictures and Reese Witherspoon’s production company, Hello Sunshine.
The story follows Kya Clark, an abandoned orphan who is raised in the swamps of North Carolina in the 1950s and later deals with the justice system after being named a suspect in the murder investigation of a man she was once involved with.
According to author Delia Owens’ website, the book has sold over 10 million copies worldwide.
“Where the Crawdads Sing” hits theaters on July 15.
