“ivy" is a song by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. It is the tenth track on her ninth studio album "evermore".
The song tells the story of a married woman falling in love with a person who is not her husband, leading to an affair. Swift has sung about infidelity in previous songs, including “illicit affairs” (which is also the tenth track) and “august” from her eighth album "folklore".
Following the release of evermore, Taylor took to Twitter to detail the genesis of the album where she indirectly commented on the meaning behind “ivy”:
"The “unhappily ever after” anthology of marriages gone bad that includes infidelity, ambivalent toleration, and even murder."
This description alludes to multiple songs on the album, namely “no body, no crime” and “ivy.”
This song debuted #61 on Billboard’s Hot 100, being the ninth-highest charting song off the album.
