Aside from Brendon Urie<\/a>, the big guest feature on Taylor Swift\u2019s<\/a> new album Lover<\/em> comes from the Dixie Chicks<\/a>. The trio appears on \u201cSoon You\u2019ll Get Better,\u201d a stripped-down track written by Swift about her mother and her continued battle with breast cancer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The song, produced by Jack Antonoff<\/a>, features some of the most vulnerable lyrics Swift has written in her entire career. Details like coat buttons tangled in her hair, \u201choly orange bottles\u201d and \u201cthe nicer nurses\u201d make her mother\u2019s routine hospital visits sound all the more real, and all the more heartbreaking. The only instrumentation on \u201cSoon You\u2019ll Get Better\u201d comes from a pair of guitars and Martie Maguire\u2019s waxing-and-waning fiddle, allowing Swift\u2019s memories under the waiting room light to take center stage.<\/p>\n

The Chicks\u2019 vocal contributions to the track are subtle but crucial. They provide harmonies on the song\u2019s insistent chorus, and during the bridge, when Swift asks in desperation, \u201cWho am I s\u2019posed to talk to?\/What am I s\u2019posed to do?\/If there\u2019s no you,\u201d Natalie Maines\u2019 voice echoes her own. Even though \u201cSoon You\u2019ll Get Better\u201d is written in Swift\u2019s trademark second person, addressing her mother, it\u2019s as much a conversation Swift is having with herself, as she grapples with the terrifying yet cruelly ordinary process of becoming caretaker to the person who raised her. \u201cI\u2019ve had to learn how to handle serious illness in my family,\u201d she wrote in Elle<\/em> magazine<\/a> earlier this year, and it\u2019s clear she meant something more self-reflective than knowing when to call the insurance company.<\/p>\n

With the knowledge that a new Dixie Chicks record is on the horizon, the trio\u2019s appearance here provides a modicum of insight into what their album \u2014 the first one with new material in over 16 years \u2014 may resemble. Antonoff is suspected to be producing the band\u2019s forthcoming album as well, with Maines posting several Instagram clips of the four of them<\/a> in the studio since last year. But their role on Swift\u2019s \u201cSoon You\u2019ll Get Better\u201d is, appropriately, a supporting one, and a beautiful one at that.<\/p>\n
