"invisible string" is the eleventh track from Taylor Swift's eighth studio album "folklore". It was released on July 24, 2020, through Republic Records. The song references an east Asian folk myth about a red thread of fate tying two soulmates together. Like on Swift’s 2019 track “Lover,” she expresses gratitude for past romantic failures since they paved the way for her relationship with Joe Alwyn.

In the album’s prologue, Swift explains the song’s imagery: A single thread that, for better or for worse, ties you to your fate.

The song includes several nods to Swift’s past work, including October 2014’s “Bad Blood” and November 2017’s “Delicate.” Like on October 2012’s “Red” and August 2019’s “Daylight,” she uses the connotations of different colors to convey the intensity of her love for a partner.

“invisible string” debuted at #37 on the Billboard Hot 100 during the chart week of August 8, 2020.
