Carpenter’s rendition of “I Knew You Were Trouble” dropped as part of the Spotify Singles series on the streaming service — before she returns to Swift’s Eras Tour as its opening act next year.

In 2010, Carpenter wrote about attending one of the Grammy winner’s shows on X (formerly Twitter). “The Taylor Swift concert was amazing, had so much fun I can’t wait to have a world tour someday like hers!” she wrote at the time, later resharingthe postin June 2023 when she was announced as the opener for the Eras Tour, calling the opportunity a “dream come true.”

Ahead of their first shows together, Carpenter spokewithRolling Stoneat Lollapaloozaand revealed her three favorite Swift albums.“1989was a very special one for me, I would sayMidnightsand probablyFolklore,” she told the publication.
Carpenter also discussed how excited she was to go on tour with Swift and learn from her as an artist. “Watching her is a masterclass in itself,” she said about the “Cardigan” singer. “Obviously, she’s very good with words. So I feel a lot more comfortable that I’m going into a situation with someone that I admire so much and I’m just gonna, like, study.”
