Background and release

Taylor Swift announced her eleventh original studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards on February 4, 2024.[1](does not include all info) She began working on it soon after the completion of her previous album, Midnights (2022), and conceived it during the US leg of her Eras Tour in 2023 due to the heightened fame brought by the tour and intense media reports on her personal life.[2][3] Swift described the album as a "lifeline" for her and one that she "really needed" to make, detailing how its development confirmed that songwriting was an integral part of her life.[4][5] Jack Antonoff, a regular collaborator of Swift, served as a major producer for the album and produced the majority of the tracks with her.[6](does not include all info) One such track the two produced was "The Black Dog", which Swift wrote and initially named "Old Habits Die Screaming" when she first recorded it.[6][7]

On February 4, 2024, Swift announced The Tortured Poets Department at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards and its release date on April 19. During the lead-up, four limited-time physical editions of the album were released one at a time for pre-order on Swift's website, and were each titled after a corresponding bonus track; the last edition featured "The Black Dog" and was named after it. Two hours after the release of The Tortured Poets Department and its physical editions under Republic Records, the song became digitally available in a double album edition subtitled The Anthology, where it appears as the 17th track. Its first demo recording was also released on May 16, as part of a limited-time digital edition of the album.

Throughout 2024, Swift performed "The Black Dog" live three times during the Eras Tour as part of mashups of her songs. She first sang the song in piano mashup with "Maroon" (2022) and "Come Back... Be Here" (2012), as part of a London show on June 21.[8]

Production

"Gold Rush" is the only song on Evermore produced by Jack Antonoff (pictured).

American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift released her eighth studio album, Folklore, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic on July 24, 2020.[9] She conceived the record as a set of mythopoeic visuals in her mind, a result of her imagination "running wild" while isolating herself during lockdown.[9][10] Swift recruited Jack Antonoff, who had worked on her three previous studio albums, and first-time collaborator Aaron Dessner as producers on Folklore; Dessner produced 11 songs for the album while Antonoff produced six.[11][12]

In September 2020, Swift, Antonoff, and Dessner assembled together at Long Pond Studios in Hudson Valley to film a concert documentary titled Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions. Released to Disney+, Swift performed the stripped-down renditions of all 17 tracks on Folklore and recounted the creative process of developing the album.[13] They stayed at Long Pond after the documentary was released and Swift wrote multiple songs to Dessner's instrumental tracks in the studio.[14] Their sessions resulted in a project that was a natural extension of Folklore, which became Evermore, her ninth studio album.[15][16]

This time on Evermore, Dessner produced 14 out of the 15 selected songs, while Antonoff only produced one, which was "Gold Rush", also co-produced by Swift.[12][17] Swift and Antonoff wrote the song and was recorded at Electric Lady Studios and Rough Customer Studio both in New York. The instruments were recorded at Electric Lady, Rough Customer, Hook and Fade in New York, Pleasure Hill Recording in Portland, Maine, Sound City Studios in Lakeland, Florida, and vocals were recorded at Long Pond. The track was mixed at Long Pond and was mastered at Sterling Sound in Edgewater, New Jersey.[18]

Music and lyrics

"Happiness" has lyrics about the emotions that can occur following the dissolution of a long-lasting relationship. In the song, Swift's narrator ruminates on her recent divorce, trying to find a broader view on why the relationship went wrong.[19][20][21] The narrator expresses fury at her ex-husband ("When did your winning smile begin to look like a smirk?") before apologizing for forgetting the facts.[22]

"No Body, No Crime" is three minutes and thirty-nine seconds long.[23] It incorporates acoustic, bass, and electric guitars, drums, harmonica, lap steel, mandolin, organ, piano, and synthesizers according to the liner notes of Evermore.[24] The song progresses at a moderate tempo and starts with police sirens and whispers of "He did it".[25][26] According to Yahoo!'s editor Lyndsey Parker, the track contains "loping" beats that recalls Tom Petty's song "Mary Jane's Last Dance" (1993).[27] The New York Times journalist Jon Pareles described the harmonica as "yowling".[28] In the song, Swift, Este Haim, and Danielle Haim sing with subdued vocals.[29][24] It also has accents of twang on the guitar,[30] mandolin,[25] and in Swift's voice[31]—Justin Curto of Vulture opined that the song is the "twangiest [she] has sounded" since her 2012 album Red.[32]

Critics generally categorized "No Body, No Crime" as a country track,[a] which was perceived as a style that Dessner had never done before.[39] The Guardian music journalist Alexis Petridis said that the song was country rock,[40] Ellen Peirson-Hagger of the New Statesman deemed it "old-town Americana",[26] and Slate's writer Carl Wilson described it as a "straight-up contemporary country song".[41] Madeline Crone of American Songwriter thought that the inclusion of Haim brought elements of pop rock.[18] Many critics considered the music reminiscent or a throwback to the country sounds of Swift's early career.[b] Curto believed that the song departed from the "hushed sounds" of Folklore and Evermore,[32] while Chris Willman from Variety wrote that it has the only "country-sounding" production on the album.[9]

The main lyrical themes of "No Body, No Crime" are "[a]dultery, friendship, murder, and revenge".[46] It tells the story of a woman named Este (titled after Este Haim) and the events that happen after the infidelity of her husband, narrated from the perspective of her best friend.[47] The story starts with a dinner of Este and her best friend, who describes how Este "can't shake the feeling that her husband is seeing another woman". The chorus repeats "I think he did it but I just can't prove it".[25] In the second verse, the narrator discovers that Este did not show up at Olive Garden, where they would routinely go every Tuesday.[48] Following the incident, the husband bought "brand new tires" and his mistress moves in with him, details that the narrator forms a suspicion against him.[49][25] The narrator plans to murder the husband and to not be a suspect, such as using the fact that "his mistress took out a big life-insurance policy" to frame her[32][18] and teaming up with Este's sister to justify her action ("she was with me, dude").[50]

Critical reception

NME's Rhian Daly and Time's Judy Berman picked "The Greatest" as one of the best songs in Del Rey's entire discography, and Berman called it an "anthem for a seemingly inevitable apocalypse".[51][52] Pitchfork selected the song as their "Best New Track", and its editor Sam Sodomsky described it as a "kaleidoscope of classic-rock radio transmitted through Lana’s hushed, psychedelic lens".[53] Tosten Burks of Spin wrote that "The Greatest" and "Fuck It I Love You" were "surf-ish rock ballads that reflect on California's lost mystique,[54] and James Rettig of Stereogum called both songs "two more promising glimpses of Norman Fucking Rockwell."[55]

Publications put "The Greatest" in their year-end lists of the best songs of 2019. It was ranked among the year's best 15 tracks by Vulture (1),[56] Pitchfork (2),[57] The Ringer (9),[58] and Billboard (11).[59] In a 2019 non-ranking list by GQ, Max Cea hailed the song as a "perfect, hilarious modern anthem".[60] Pitchfork ranked "The Greatest" at number 79 on its list of the "200 Best Songs of the 2010s", one of their editors Quinn Moreland said that it "feels like the logical apex of Del Rey’s ever-present nostalgia."[61]

Live performances

Swift performed the song during the second shows in Omaha, Los Angeles, Arlington, and Las Vegas during the Red Tour (2013–2014), the 1989 World Tour (2015), the Reputation Stadium Tour (2018), and the Eras Tour (2023) respectively.[62][63]

Commercial performance

North America

"Vampire" opened and peaked at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, where it became Rodrigo's third number-one entry.[18] On Streaming Songs, the song debuted at number one with 35.5 million streams, while on Digital Songs, it opened at number two with 17,000 on vinyl and 9,000 downloads, combining for 26,000 sales.[18] "Vampire" also opened on multiple Billboard radio charts in its first week—number 17 on Pop Airplay and number 22 on both Adult Pop Airplay and Radio Songs, in which it accounted for an overall 26.3 million radio impressions for that week.[18]

Europe

The song reached number one on the UK Singles Chart in its ninth week and received a silver certification from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), which denotes track-equivalent sales of 200,000 units.[64][65]

In Spain, following the release of the album, "Vampire" reentered the Top 100 at number 53, becoming its best-performing week in the country.[66]
