Marjorie (stylized in all lowercase) is a song recorded by Taylor Swift for her ninth studio album, Evermore, which was released on December 11, 2020, through Republic Records. The song was written by Swift and Aaron Dessner, and produced by the latter.
"Marjorie" is a heart-rending tribute to Swift's grandmother and opera singer, Marjorie Finlay. It depicts Finlay's advice to her granddaughter and Swift's guilt over not knowing her grandmother to the fullest, and incorporates slow-burning synthesizers, strings, and samples of Finlay's operatic vocals.
