"She recently invited some friends to write with her and the songs they came up with reminded her team of Stevie Nicks and Joan Armatrading," they added.

"Her fans are used to hearing about her break-ups but her outlook on romance has changed since being with Joe and this will come through in the music," they continued.

Whether or not Taylor is actually releasing new music remains to be seen. The "Look What You Made Me Do" has remained extremely coy about when she is releasing new music in the past few years, so it's very possible that fans won't know any specifics about her new album until it's already out!

"About a year & half ago I wrote a song about the story of a girl who always lived on the outside, looking in. Figuratively & literally," Taylor explained. "The juxtaposition of her loneliness & independence. Her curiosity & fear all tangled up. Her persisting gentleness & the world’s betrayal of it."

Taylor added, "I wrote this one alone in the middle of the night and then @AaronDessner and I meticulously worked on a sound that we felt would be authentic to the moment when this story takes place. I made a wish that one day you would hear it. ‘Carolina’ is out now ?."

Longtime friend and collaborating partner, Aaron Dessner, also took to Twitter to promote her new single.

He tweeted, "I'm so excited for you all to finally hear 'Carolina', a hauntingly beautiful song @taylorswift13 wrote, based on Delia Owens’ incredible novel 'Where the Crawdads Sing', and which will feature in @CrawdadsMovie, a forthcoming movie based on the book."

Aaron continued, "It's one of my favorite songs @taylorswift13 has written and it was an honor to help her record and produce it. We played old acoustic instruments and channeled the eery beauty of the North Carolina marsh where the story is set."

He added, "It sounds fittingly like this recording could have been made a long time ago. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Thanks so much to @ReidJenksMusic for playing fiddle and @heyjonlow for mixing."
