"No Body, No Crime" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, featuring the American band Haim, from her ninth studio album, Evermore (2020). She wrote the track as a result of her fixation with crime documentaries and podcasts, and co-produced it with Aaron Dessner. A tune featuring styles of country, country rock, and Americana, "No Body, No Crime" is a murder ballad about the murder of a woman named Este, narrated by her friend who avenges her. Republic Records in partnership with MCA Nashville sent the song to US country radio on January 11, 2021, as a single from Evermore.
Critics praised "No Body, No Crime" for Swift's storytelling, the lyrics, and production, but some deemed it underwhelming. Commercially, the song peaked at number 16 on the Billboard Global 200 and reached the top 20 on charts in Australia, Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. It also received certifications from Australia and the UK. Swift and Haim performed the song live on shows where Haim served as an opening act on Swift's Eras Tour in 2023.
