ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken When Submitting

I have a program that allows users to enter their song for a certain event. You must enter in the partycode for that event in order for it to submit. Here is a screenshot of what it looks like: enter image description here

When I submit it gives me this error: enter image description here

Here is what my SongsController looks like: 

class SongsController < ApplicationController

    def new
        @song = Song.new
    end

    def create
        current_event = Event.find(song_params[:event_id])
        @song = current_event.songs.build(song_params)
        if @song.save
            flash[:success] = "Success"
            redirect_to event_path(@song.event)
        else
            flash[:error] = "Failed"
        end

    end

    def destroy
    end
    private

      def song_params
        params.require(:song).permit(:event_id, :artist, :title, :genre)
      end
end

event model

class Event < ApplicationRecord
  belongs_to :user
  validates :name, presence: true
  validates :partycode, presence: true, length: {minimum: 5}
  has_many :songs, dependent: :destroy  

end

song model 

class Song < ApplicationRecord
  belongs_to :event
  validates :artist, presence: true
  validates :title,  presence: true
end

new.html.erb(song)

<br>
<br>
<h1> Member page </h1>
<div class ="container">
  <div class="jumbotron">
    <h2> Select an event to add songs to: </h2>
    <%= form_for Song.new do |f| %>
        <%= f.collection_select(:event_id, Event.all, :id, :name) %>
    <h3> Enter your song </h3>
    <%= form_for Song.new do |f| %>
      <%= f.text_field :artist, placeholder: "Artist" %>
      <%= f.text_field :title,  placeholder: "Title" %>
      <%= f.text_field :genre,  placeholder: "Genre" %>
    <h2> Enter the partycode for that event: </h2>
    <%= form_for Event.new do |f| %>
      <%= f.text_field :partycode %>
      <%= f.submit "Submit", class: "btn btn-primary" %>
    <% end %>
    <% end %>
    <% end %>
  </div>
</div>

What can I do to make this functionality of my website work? Any help is greatly appreciated thanks

You have completely messed up your form. Ideally you should have one form but here you have just kept one form within another form using form_for.

I would recommend you to have a look at the form_for documentation .

I see many form_for nesting on your views. It's impossible. Only one submit for a form.

I think you may want to change your _form.html.erb

<div class ="container">
  <div class="jumbotron">
    <h2> Select an event to add songs to: </h2>
    <%= form_for @song do |f| %>
      <%= f.collection_select(:event_id, Event.all, :id, :name) %>
      <h3> Enter your song </h3>
      <%= f.text_field :artist, placeholder: "Artist" %>
      <%= f.text_field :title,  placeholder: "Title" %>
      <%= f.text_field :genre,  placeholder: "Genre" %>
      <h2> Enter the partycode for that event: </h2>
      <%= f.text_field :partycode %>
      <%= f.submit "Submit", class: "btn btn-primary" %>
    <% end %>
  </div>
</div>
