“Snow on the Beach” is a collaborative song by Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey, featured on Taylor Swift’s tenth studio album, “Midnights,” released in 2022. The song’s enchanting blend of dream pop and introspective lyrics draws listeners into a narrative of simultaneous and reciprocated love.

In this midtempo dream pop ballad, Swift and Del Rey craft a musical tale of falling in love with each other at the same time. The song likens this rare and synchronous connection to the unlikely occurrence of “snow on the beach.” Del Rey’s presence on the track lends a special touch, as she brings her signature style to complement Swift’s emotive vocals.

Upon release, “Snow on the Beach” made a significant impact on the charts. Globally, it garnered impressive streaming numbers, setting a record for the biggest opening day for a female collaboration on Spotify. The song debuted and peaked at number three on the Billboard Global 200 chart, driven by strong streaming figures and downloads. In the United States, “Snow on the Beach” contributed to a historic moment, with tracks from “Midnights” dominating the entire top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song itself debuted at number four, marking a notable achievement for both Swift and Del Rey.


“Fifteen” is a heartfelt song by Taylor Swift from her second studio album, “Fearless,” released in 2008. Produced by Swift and Nathan Chapman, the country pop track captures the emotions and experiences of being fifteen years old, drawing inspiration from Swift’s own freshman year of high school. The song’s narrative revolves around Swift and her friend Abigail Anderson, both navigating teenage love and heartbreak at the age of fifteen.

With its tender lyrics and relatable storytelling, “Fifteen” provides a glimpse into the challenges and aspirations of adolescence. Swift uses her signature blend of country and pop influences to create a melodic backdrop for the song’s introspective reflection on the trials and tribulations of being a teenager. The bridge of the song, referencing Anderson’s heartbreak after giving everything to someone who changed his mind, sparked discussions about its alleged sex-negative undertones.

Upon its release, “Fifteen” received acclaim from critics for its songwriting and emotional resonance. The song achieved commercial success, reaching number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning double platinum certification from the RIAA. In Canada, it peaked at number 19 and achieved gold certification. The single’s impact on the charts contributed to Swift’s achievement of having multiple tracks from “Fearless” within the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100, a record-breaking feat. “Fifteen” continues to resonate with listeners as a relatable anthem for those navigating the ups and downs of their teenage years.
