"Fresh Out the Slammer" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift from her eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department (2024). Written and produced by Swift and Jack Antonoff, it has a Western, country pop, and country rock production driven by twangy guitars, looping synths, and a hazy atmosphere. In the lyrics, a narrator contemplates on how her past relationship made her feel trapped and uses another lover as a means to escape immediately after that relationship ends.
Several critics were fascinated by the production and storytelling lyrics, while some others found the track overwritten. "Fresh Out the Slammer" peaked at number 15 on the Billboard Global 200 and reached the top 20 of charts in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States. In 2024, Swift performed the song live twice on her sixth concert tour, the Eras Tour.
