This week, the prolific musician Sufjan Stevens released a new song titled "Tonya Harding." The haunting ode is, you guessed it, dedicated to the complex, iconic figure skater of the same name. In a blog post about the song, which was posted on the website of Asthmatic Kitty Records, Stevens admits, "I've been trying to write a Tonya Harding song since I first saw her skate at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in 1991." In a separate post on his official Tumblr account, he says it is not at all related to I, Tonya, to new biopic starring Margot Robbie that is already generating some serious award season buzz. (He did, for the record, send the song along, but they didn't end up using it.)
