"Coney Island" is a song by Taylor Swift featuring the National, taken from Swift's ninth studio album, Evermore (2020). Swift, Joe Alwyn (under the pseudonym William Bowery), and the National's Aaron and Bryce Dessner wrote the song, with the latter two producing it. Matt Berninger contributed guest vocals. Republic Records sent "Coney Island" to US adult album alternative radio as a single on January 18, 2021.
"Coney Island" is an alternative rock and indie folk song set in a waltz tempo and features Swift duetting with Berninger. Lyrically, it depicts a separated couple's memories in Coney Island, New York City. The song peaked at number 45 on the Billboard Global 200 and entered on the charts in Australia, Canada, and the United States. In April 2023, Swift performed "Coney Island" as a "surprise song" for her sixth headlining concert tour, the Eras Tour.[1]
