Cardigan came out on July 24, 2020, released under Republic Records, and it belongs firmly to Taylor Swift’s later era, specifically her folklore chapter.
It was written by Taylor Swift and Aaron Dessner, who also produced the track together.
The song sits in the indie folk and alternative pop space, built on soft piano lines, muted percussion, and a hushed atmosphere that feels like a late-night confession.
Everything about the production is gentle and restrained, letting the lyrics breathe and linger.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Vintage tee, brand new phone
High heels on cobblestones
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
Sequin smile, black lipstick
Sensual politics
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
[Chorus]
But I knew you
Dancin’ in your Levi’s
Drunk under a streetlight, I
I knew you
Hand under my sweatshirt
Baby, kiss it better, I
[Refrain]
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Under someone’s bed
You put me on and said I was your favorite
[Verse 2]
A friend to all is a friend to none
Chase two girls, lose the one
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
See upcoming pop shows
Get tickets for your favorite artists

But Daddy I Love Him

So Long, London

Actually Romantic
Taylor Swift
[Chorus]
But I knew you
Playing hide-and-seek and
Giving me your weekends, I
I knew you
Your heartbeat on the High Line
Once in twenty lifetimes, I
[Refrain]
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Under someone’s bed
You put me on and said I was your favorite
[Bridge]
To kiss in cars and downtown bars
Was all we needed
You drew stars around my scars
But now I’m bleedin’
[Chorus]
‘Cause I knew you
Steppin’ on the last train
Marked me like a bloodstain, I
I knew you
Tried to change the ending
Peter losing Wendy, I
I knew you
Leavin’ like a father
Running like water, I
And when you are young, they assume you know nothing
[Verse 3]
But I knew you’d linger like a tattoo kiss
I knew you’d haunt all of my what-ifs
The smell of smoke would hang around this long
‘Cause I knew everything when I was young
I knew I’d curse you for the longest time
Chasin’ shadows in the grocery line
I knew you’d miss me once the thrill expired
And you’d be standin’ in my front porch light
And I knew you’d come back to me
You’d come back to me
And you’d come back to me
And you’d come back
[Refrain]
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Under someone’s bed
You put me on and said I was your favorite
