That message is clearly evident in the song's lyrics as Swift sings, \"Into the mist, into the clouds/ No, you didn't see me here/ They'll make a fest, I'll make it count/ Carolina knows.\"

\"Carolina\" comes just three months after it was teased in the trailer for \"Where the Crawdads Sing. \" At the time, Swift shared that she \"got absolutely lost in [the book] 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,\" she added.

\"Carolina\" is available to stream now. \"Where the Crawdads Sing\" arrives in theaters July 15.
