I wrote the song ‘Carolina’ alone and asked my friend to produce it. ![]() “As soon as I heard there was a film in the works starring the incredible and produced by the brilliant I knew I wanted to be a part of it from the musical side. “Where The Crawdads Sing is a book I got absolutely lost in when I read it years ago,” Swift wrote on Instagram. Swift references the story’s premise through her song, especially in the last verse: “Oh Carolina knows / Why for years they’ve said / That I was guilty as sin / And sleep in a liar’s bed.” It seems like she did her homework when the singer-songwriter teased “Carolina” along with the movie trailer earlier this year, she shared that she was hooked on Crawdads immediately.
