"Clara Bow" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift from her eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department (2024). The track was named after the silent-film actress Clara Bow. Swift and Aaron Dessner wrote and produced the track, which was inspired by Swift's conversations with record label executives. A folk-leaning pop rock track, it comments on Swift's fame.
Critics, as well as Bow's family, applauded the track for Swift's vulnerability, lyricism, and depiction of fame and beauty. The song peaked at number 22 of the Billboard Global 200 and reached the top 25 in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, and the United States. On June 30, 2024, Swift performed "Clara Bow" as part of a mashup with her song "The Lucky One" (2012) at the Dublin stop of her Eras Tour (2023–2024), as well as in a mashup with her track "Mirrorball" (2020) at the Warsaw stop.[1]
