Taylor Swift's new song "Carolina" soundtracks the trailer for Where The Crawdads Sing
Daisy Edgar-Jones stars in the thriller based on the novel by Delia Owens
The new Taylor Swift song, “Carolina,” is featured in the first trailer for Where The Crawdads Sing, a thriller starring Daisy Edgar-Jones and based on the bestselling novel by Delia Owens.
“Where The Crawdads Sing is a book I got absolutely lost in when I read it years ago,” Taylor Swift writes on Instagram. “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. 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 mesmerizing story.”
Edgar-Jones stars in Where The Crawdads Sing as Kya Clark, a young woman who, after being after being abandoned by her family as a child, raises herself in the marshes of South Carolina. Legends of the “Marsh Girl” constantly swirl in the fictional small town of Barkley Cove, leaving her shunned and mistreated by those around her. However, as an adult she finds herself involved with two men from the town, who see something special in Kya. But when one ends up dead, she becomes suspect number one.
