I feel the need to point out that at 3:13 in Betty, James sings he is on her front porch. At 3:13 in Cardigan, Betty says she knew he would be back in her front porch light. In addition, at 2:47 in Betty, James says "she said James get in the car". At 2:47 in August, she says remember when I said Get in the car. Taylor is a master storyteller and the above are just a few examples of her literary genius. Have a Swift day.
“Leaving like a father, running like water” 😭kills me
Rhyming “cardigan” and “car again” is 🌟 🌟 🌟
Agree!! 😍
My favorite Taylor bridge!!! My God that woman can write. Leaving like a father, running like water is CRAZY
My favorite line too!!! You can FEEL it!
That line is the most iconic thing she has ever written
Absolutely the line that sunk its goddamn teeth into me the very first time I heard that song, before I even had an inkling that it was TS
I swear, this line isn't brought up anywhere CLOSE to enough as it should 😮💨
"Wanting was enough.... for me it was enough" breaks me. 😢
August is such a powerful song IMO
Best listening order for me is Cardigan, August, Betty. It highlights the full circle connection best.
hearing Cardigan first also makes clear James' excuse that he was just 17 was flimsy at best
James saying "I'm 17 I don't know anything" and Betty saying "I knew everything when I was young really captures how young men and women's behavior expectations are different. The boys will be boys thing
i love how you got the back details first!! like it’s nice when people try to guess what the songs are about but sometimes it’s nice when you have an idea of what’s going on first!
I love how James tries to blame August and gaslight Betty in the same line, "she pulled up but I thought of you"
And all 3 names, Betty, James and Inez are the names of Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively’s kids. So….Betty and James were a couple, he went to the dance at the gym and felt uncomfortable in there. He saw Betty was having a good time so he left and Augustine picked him up and they had a summer fling. He felt guilty and realized he wanted to be back with Betty. Can’t be denied….Taylor is a genius putting these 3 characters in a romantic trilogy.
So, him saying 'where it all went wrong' was when he was being SELFISH and 'hated crowds' (the school dance) even though it was her FAVORITE song playing. She'd agreed to dance with someone at school b/c her boyfriend disappeared on her. So he tried to make it HER fault that he went out and found his summer fling because he 'saw her dance with him' (some rando). Like... get real. It's so real and so common which makes it so perfect. The blame game, the feelings uncommunicated, the feeling alone etc.
meet me behind the mall/meet me behind them all
never mine, never mine/never mine, nevermind
plus, the "I'm only 17, I don't know anything" to the "I knew everything when I was young" ✨✨
So many crossover between the songs too, like in august she says “get in the car” and in Betty James said “she said James get in” and summer love concept in both Betty and august. In cardigan “I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired, And you'd be standin' in my front porch light” for the whole “But if I just showed up at your party” in Betty, it also hints that Betty ended up forgiving James. There are many little ester eggs like these thru out these 3 songs
Great reaction to this trilogy. Almost everyone can relate to these songs either personally or through a friend. Another paint the picture Taylor done masterfully. ❤Stay safe
Great reaction! It is great to see when reactors become immersed in the lyrics. Cardigan has a beautiful MV, and Taylor did a live performance (to no one in the actual audience due to the pandemic), but it is so mesmerizing. When she gets to the part of f-myself, there is this little smirk of a smile before she says the alternate word. It is priceless, and at the end, she looks like she is staring into your soul.
It’s always fun doing these reactions with Mr. A.B. This is on Folklore, so it was a made up story but with the perspectives. Genius. I’ve never heard of any artist doing this; and so effortlessly beautiful, too.
Betty, James and Inez are the names of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds real life children. The names are an ode for her affection for them and their children, whom she absolutely adores. They call her Aunt Tay. They thought that singing was a hobby for her until they went to their first concerts (with ear protection), and their eyes were wide like saucers. She made sure to say “My favorite people: James, Inez and Betty!” while they were there. They were beaming from their excitement. She loves them like they were her own.
Taylor was in her bag in Folklore because she was able to write whatever she wanted/needed to and AFTER it was done, that’s when she told her label and they were very supportive and said they would support anything that she wanted to. Like you’d say no to a brand new Taylor Swift album, ready to go? Then she goes and writes Evermore 8 months later. The woman cannot sit still. Haha. She loves music too much and it’s therapeutic for her. It’s a blessing that she had this opportunity to be herself with the songs. The proof is how amazing they are written & performed.❤🥳🥰🎙️
Cardigan is in my top 5, for one of her greatest man, even after TTPD, it’s a masterpiece. The music, the storytelling, the progression, the vocals, the production, the music video, it’s all so good.
These three songs and the story, the different perspectives is so fun and immersive. She created and capture the essence of a little world within an album.
Her writing cannot be duplicated.
James really said the reason I left you for another girl is because I saw you dance with him . The audacity 😂
especially since he wouldn’t dance with her
I hate James so much 😂
Love love love what you said about the plants in the August video. That slammed me the first time I watched it, made me so sad. I thought the same thing!!!!
I’m glad to see you reacting this trilogy
James saying "i slept next to her but dreamed of you" cracks me up. It's definitely what a 17 yr old would say, thinking that was a compliment
The night before the Eras Tour here in KC my wife and I got Taylor tattoos. She got the August lyrics “for the hope of it all”
That's dope, bro!!
👏 👏 👏 SUCH A GREAT REACTION!!! Thanks so much...
Going to see her on Nov 3rd, and if by miracle I meet her, I’m totally shouting out your channel!! Go Swifties, Go Chiefs!!
Now you need to put Cardigan, Betty, August and Illicit Affairs from the Eras Tour together. Illicit Affairs is so different in the concert and for me the best part and then into tear ricochet! Her face tells the story better than the songs!
Another great reaction ❤
Sea oats is the plant, or at least thats what we called them when I was a floral designer. thank you for these three! Abeautiful fall day here in Indiana. Love your channel!! You are the best reactor!!!!❤❤❤❤
In the "Folklore: Long Pond Studio Sessions" on Disney+, she says the "side chick's" name is Augustina, I think, if I remember correctly . . . 🤔 I honestly feel bad for her . . . #JusticeForAugustina and 'Cardigan' reminds me, kinda, of "A Walk To Remember" 'cause, ya know, she always wore cardigans & he gave her a pink one in that movie . . . Also, in the "LPSS", Taylor says that, in her mind, James & Betty DO end up together, so, ya know, once again, #JFA!!! 🤩
She has references (like the song Peter) on her newest album (TTPD) that tie back to this.
People think that looking back, it seems this could be a multi-song story inspired by her own life (and relates back to Matty Healy because of the song peter tying into it, so ppl think he's one of the people in these 3 songs!)
She's always said that the album was consisting of stories that she made up, where she's the narrator instead of a main character pov. But with ttpd, some people suspect that it might not be as objective and "made up". But we'll never know for sure unless she outright says anything in the future 😅 either way it's beautiful storytelling
Typical James behaviour he saw her dance once with a guy that most likely her friend because her favourite song was playing and he was like I guess I'm cheating on you the whole summer then
Thank you for the reaction :) Liked the reaction.
The reeds are on a beach dune. Known as Sea Oats. Very important to prevent erosion. Thanks for your reactions. Talk to us lightly 😊
YASS…MR. A.B! here we gooooo, talk to me lightly!
❤ love from the Netherlands
I cant understand people saying “ oh poor agustine” i mean WHAT?????.. POOR BETTY
Excellent! You listen better than most reactors. Now, I love Tay-Tay, but time for some Elvis. Have you done "Just Pretend" 1970 LasVegas?❤❤❤
Love your content!
Imo the ending of betty doesn't actually reveal if they do get back together or not (he's saying "I know I've missed you standing in your cardigan and kissing in my car again, stopped at a street light", like they used to do that and he misses it), it's open-ended so each listener can draw their own conclusion. Taylor did say that in her mind they did end up back together tho
Taylor said at one show that the story of love triangle is real
That’s was good, thanks
Assemble Swifties! Our teenage love triangle has finally arrived! Im so excited he finally gets to see this! 🫶💙🫶💙🫶
Yes!!!!
The way I play August on August 1st 😂
Okay, so first off, he’s a cheater, and second, he says will you kiss me in front of all your stupid friends. Not a nice guy who deserves a second chance.
A little trivia for you, in 'Betty', Taylor used her friends Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds' 3 daughters names in it. Taylor is their Godmother, I guess. James, named after Ryans dad, Inez & Betty. LOL They just had a boy so Taylor better get writing. LOL
No evry time i just get more in love worh Follore😢😢😢
Poor Augustine, speaking about summer love. James being like “summer thing”.
Hope Augustine and Betty end up together actually 🤣
OH NO I just imagined Cruel Summer from "Augustine's" perspective and that hurts. 😅
@@ladyvader139 shit! Yeah that’s terrible
August is the perspective of the side chick called Augustine.
Betty is the perspective of James.
And Cardigan is the perspective of Betty.
You'll want to do Willow next. You'll see....
yes! I've done Willow 🙂 ua-cam.com/video/e-v9EPBr99s/v-deo.htmlsi=nEXE4TnW2ljYKDfC
Bythe way August her name is Augustine
I actually like this order of listening better🤔
❤
Exile, from the same album Folklore, is James and Betty later. We get to find out in that song what ultimately happened. Did Betty stay with James? Go listen to Exile.
I’ve never heard anything about that. Where did you hear that Exile is Betty and James? I love that song… I would’ve never put those 2 in the characters into Exile.
LFG!
Cardigan August Betty the right order and there made up stories.
Ooh am I first?
How exciting!
Did you know that Taylor's best friends Ryan.R and his wife Blake Lively of her name, However 2 out of there 3 kids one of the names of 2 of them are Enez and Betty. Kind of funny..
James is their eldest daughter.
PETER losing wendy….
In hindsight I think cardigan is unfortunately about Matty Healy
Willow, the only music video from Evermore is a part 2 or continuance from the Cardigan music video. 🫶💙🫶
