taylor wrote cardigan, august and betty as a part of a trilogy, the teenage love triangle. the story goes: betty and james are high school kids and they are together, james cheats on betty with augustine over the summer and then goes back to her to apologise at betty’s birthday party. Betty (the song) is from his perspective as the apology. August is from augustine’s perspective who fell in love with james over the summer while he saw her as a “summer fling” but she mentions him as “summer love”. Cardigan is from Betty’s perspective a few years later after this situation, when she’s older looking back at this relationship. Taylor does an amazing job at writing and mentioning details that connect the songs so well!!
@@elvideoentertainment It is indeed! She's retelling the story of the previous tenants and finding an interesting parallel between herself and Rebekah: "50 years was a long time, holiday house sat quietly on that beach free of women with madness, their men and bad habits, and then it was bought by me"
@@elvideoentertainmentthe only thing that might not be 100% true is "stole his dog and dyed it key lime green" it was apparently a cat but her being a cat person she changed it to dog. 😅
Folklore was largely about story-telling, she really took on a narrators perceptive and wrote songs based on films, books, and stories that she had heard or read. Cardigan, August, and Betty were part of a fictional teenage love triangle. _Cardigan_ being in older Betty's perspective (way into the future), _August_ being in the 'other girls' perspective, and _Betty_ being in James' perspective. You should totally do "Evermore" next, its considered Folklore's sister album, (personally I like it even better).
If u want to see a more in-depth type of analyis of the album fron Taylor herself, u should check out The Long Pond Studio Sessions (live performances of the folklore album) where Taylor breaks down the meaning of the songs before she performs them Some are on YT (if u want to uplaod reactions) or you can just check it out in your personal time It’s truly a magical performance
Cardigan isn’t actually about Taylor it’s from the perspective of a character she made up named after Ryan Reynolds, and Blake lively‘s children. Cardigan is from Betty’s perspective 20 to 30 years after Betty and James’s relationship in high school. James is the eldest daughter to Ryan and Blake. The song Betty was their way of announcing their third daughters name to the world. August is from a made-up character named Augusta or Augustine James in the story was dating Betty, but he decided to cheat on Betty with Augusta or Augustine and Augusta or Augustine had no idea that James was with Betty already so she thought that they were in love, but really both Betty and Augusta or Augustine we’re just being played by James in this fictional love triangle romance story, the song betty is from Jameses perspective basically saying hey, I was 17 I didn’t know any better and August is from Augusta or Augustine’s perspective saying you weren’t mine to lose because he was already with someone else
my tears ricochet is about her masters and Scott brocheta who was her previous manager who sold her masters, she felt betrayed because she has said before that he was like a father figure to her, especially the lines "you wear the same jewels that i gave you as you bury me" and "when you can't sleep at night you hear my stolen lullabies" directly reference her masters
1:02:36 never change, man. Fav react channel because of your attention to detail and the great care you take when analyzing the writing of artists. Cannot wait for your Evermore vid. Thank you for being so thoughtful and thorough with your reactions! You spoil us 😌💟
I really liked your perspective on this! As a swifty the connections i make are very specific and often Swifties "correct" and force song meanings into the context of swify lore, but "outsiders" make cool connections we often miss! Super cool seeing your thoughts on the motifs
Exactly! Thank you👏🏽🙌🏽 it’s just interpretations. I don’t know Taylor, idk her life, so I interpret it by the stories, how I relate to it. The author of a book can tell you what it’s about but you can still read it differently. I hope that makes sense but thank you👏🏽
My Tears Ricochet is not what you think, it is about her record label (Big Machine Records), Scott Borchetta she had been with him since she was about 15 yrs. old, he was like family. Taylor wanted to buy her first 6 albums, he offered her for every new album she made she would receive 1 old album back, and she would have been tied to him for years. She turned him down, and then he turned around and sold the label to Scooter Braun, including all Taylor's albums. Taylor detested Scooter Braun, he managed a lot of singers, and he even posted something about owning Taylor Swift. The jewels Taylor gave Scott were her albums that went gold, platinum, and diamond which looks good for the label. Her stolen lullabies were her albums sold out from under her. Scooter claims to have offered to sell them to her. Her song Vigilante Sh!t is about Scooter (from her Midnights album). Yes, that is why she is re-recording them. Scooter has not only lost some of his clients, but his wife divorced him, and she got the children, he has also gotten into some legal trouble.
I just wanted to say, most people didn't pick up about the lowercase letters, she also did that with evermore, since these 2 albums were so different she probably wanted them to stand out. Also, good job, the 7th track is Seven. The first track was The One, and the 8th track is August the 8th month.
@@elvideoentertainmentyou really analyzed the fuck out of this album lol I love folklore and have listened to it so many times but your masters degree is showing, sir 🤓 Such a great video! 💕 I can’t wait for you to listen to Evermore. That holds such a special place in my heart. Songs like Happiness changed the trajectory of my life. 💜 Amazing video as always 😋
this album was the reason i fell in love with taylor and her music. this will forever be the most serene album ever made. no songs have ever hit me harder than these.
7 is really a song about a child that is too young (seven), watching her also young best friend suffer abuse from her father and not knowing how to process that, so she comes up with a reason "I think your house is haunted" because she doesn't know how else to process it. But now, as an adult, she looks back and understands what was really happening, and though she can no longer talk to that person, because she doesn't even recall her name, she can only try to send the message that she still loves her, that someone does, and that love will be carried on forever through the hearts and minds of everyone who listens to the song. It's about losing the childish perspective "I used to scream ferociously any time I wanted" and the things that are lost in that, the innocence and wildness, and the mind that couldn't see evil, so saw ghosts instead, but still wanted to rescue her friend even then, because though "she knew nothing" she "knew everything" aka the important things, that her friend needs to escape to somewhere where she'll be safe and happy and not hide from her father and cry.
I love love love your reactions!!! Paying attention to all the lyrics🤌 and cool music moments🩷🩷🩷 i hope you do all the albums & then we can get to the live performances too!!!🥰
the fact u were able to guess the songs were about different characters without knowing the teenage love triangle storyline is so fucking impressive honestly 🤣🤣 loved the vid so glad you’ve joined the cult
The cult lmfaooo love it. Thank you for embracing me in😂 And yeah I didn’t know about the triangle love story until reading these comments but to me the characters stuff is in the songs and they connect too
The last great American dynasty is about the previous owners of Taylor’s Rhode Island, mansion, named Rebecca, and William Harkness. Google their names it’s really fascinating story.
I've listened to folklore so many times and thought I knew about most of the backstories and song meanings, but you just blew my mind with some of the connections you made between tracks that I thought were completely unrelated. Amazing! Loved this analysis!
Loved the reaction and I really hope you do evermore at some point, they are sister albums. My favourite one is right where you left me (it’s one of the bonus tracks) and can’t wait for the reaction. But maybe another TV in between would be good. The comparison between folklore and evermore is not always fair to evermore.
I would recommend that after this album listen to Fearless Or Speak now so when u listen to evermore u don’t compare it to folklore where folklore is more wishful, evermore is more about the ending and the healing
Thanks for your reaction brother! As a new Swiftie myself, I think Evermore and Folklore are tied for my favorite Taylor albums, but something about the lyrics in the songs on Evermore cut deeper for me. She's just unmatched in her songwriting abilities imo
Thank you for reacting to two of her best albums ever first. For an album that I can’t relate to except for august, this is the best storytelling album that she’s ever made and written, recorded (in everyone’s home during the pandemic) and released in a short amount of time (4 months)!
Mirrorball is partly about how we as a society love to put celebrities on a pedestal and then tear them down, their pain and struggles are society’s entertainment (“drunk as they watch my shattered edges glisten”) and partly about how Taylor struggled with the pandemic, she had been about to go on tour (“they called off the circus, from the disco down… I’m still on that trapeze, I’m still trying everything to keep you laughing with me”) I learned this via the Long Pond Studios
You have to watch the Long Pond Studio Sessions if you haven’t already. She talks about each song & performs them acoustically and it is absolutely amazing.
She used fictional characters and scenarios in these songs to tell her own stories. This way she's able to keep her secrets and her privacy while actually writing from her own life experience. I've only watched the first three songs so far but, I wanted to say you've understood the lyrics very well. Btw, the Last Great American Dynasty is based on the life of a real person - Rebecca Harkness, whose house on Rhode Island Taylor bought in 2013 for 17 million dollars. One of the first things Taylor did was shore up the retaining wall which keeps the house falling onto the beach and into the sea. Apparently, the neighbours (the Rhode Island set) complained about it for some reason, saying that she "ruined it" when all she was doing was fixing it. In this way, Taylor compares herself to Rebecca who was criticized by the same snobby types.
Hola muy buena reacción. Si bien hay tres canciones que cuenta una historia, todas se conectan entre ellas como dices. Hasta puedes armarlas jugando para que todas sigan hablando de nuestros 3 personajes. Y eso es la mágico de este album que tmb esta a la vez nos esta contando otras historias de otros personajes. No se siempre lo senti asi desde la primera vez que lo escuche y estaba investigando cuales eran las 3 canciones q conectaban ... Que eso era lo que sabiamos cuando salio el álbum. Toda una experiencia
Excellent video!! Thank you for the content ❤ Loved the way you analyze every lyric and create your own meaning and connections, so cool! If i can give you some advice, in some points of the video, the songs were so loud that i couldn't understand what you said, so maybe you can work on that for the next ones sz
This particular song is about Scooter Braun who is the one who bought all of rights to her music. Her tears from his betrayal came back to haunt him because she has rewritten Almost all of the albums as (Taylor’s Version) and Swifties only listen to her version (as much as possible as they are released) therefore, rendering his “stolen lullabies” as nonprofitable. He deserves none of her royalties. Her tears have now become his tears.
its not about Scooter Braun its about Scott Brochetta the guy who signed her and owned big machine records at 14 years old and then sold it to scooter. She had a friendship and good work realationship with Scott and he betrayed her by selling it to scooter himself because Taylor was vocal about Scooters motives.
seven is actually taylor talking about a childhood friend. Like how she can’t really recall their face but she still has love for them as a friend because of the good times that she can remember with them, and also how that friend had a rough childhood when it mentions how their dad is always mad and how at 7 yrs old you don’t really understand what your friend is going through but you’re like it’s okay you can live me and we’ll play games and you won’t be sad. so just showing situations that you viewed different or didn’t understand at a young age but also how more free and creative you can be before you learn to be civilized
Omg I'm in shock, you got it right mostly every song, except seven mad woman and epiphany. Seven it's actually about a childhood best friend with an abusive family. Mad woman its also about scooter braun thing, and epiphany traces a parallel between the experience of the soldiers in the war and the health professionals during covid (this album was made and released during covid)
Seven is literally about her being seven. lol. That’s why there’s children’s perspective on things like saying “I think your house is haunted and it’s probably because your dad is always mad”. It’s not logical because it’s a 7 year olds point of view
love your videos man! there’s some albums that i think you should check out, if you take any recommendations scarlet by doja cat 333 by tinashe my 21st century blues by raye keep up the hard work dude 🔥🔥
The "hero flying around saving face" line gets me every time. The last thing a hero should be saving is face. That's not a hero at all. That's just pretending. Sooooooo good.
It's totally up to interpretation but the official one said by Taylor herself is the teenage love triangle involving Betty (who 'sang' Cardigan), James (who 'sang' Betty), and Augustine (who 'sang' August). As for epiphany, remember that this album was written in quarantine when COVID-19 was at its peak. Taylor wrote the first part with military setting inspired by her late grandfather who was a war veteran, and the second part with medical setting inspired by the medical workers "holding hands through plastic now/ something med school did not cover". This song was used in a lot of ads in honor of medical workers during COVID-19.
Track "seven" is about childhood friendship. Her friend is a little girl with "braids like pattern". That little girl's dad was always angry so she had to "hide in the closet". :( That's why "I think that your house is haunted". The saddest and darkest part of the song. However, it's about healing the pain at the end.
I mean the records can still be sealed that doesn’t mean you haven’t listened to the songs before lol not like they’re not online haha. Though I tend to lean toward wanting to believe reactors
My tears ricochet isn’t actually romantic at all. It’s about her masters and how they were stolen from her. The man she’s singing about is Scooter Braun, The “jewels” in “you wear the same jewels that I gave you as you burry me” are he songs, same as “my stolen lullabies” which you actually caught on to. So yeah it’s about the reason for the Taylors versions
While yes I do like to see these tracks with characters as Taylor intended but you can definitely apply them to different stories and perspectives as well which I love about her writing 🩵
My tears ricochet: she WAS the absolute best thing to happen to Big Machine Records, shes the reason the company got to where it is. She was the main breadwinner for the company at the beginning.
taylor wrote cardigan, august and betty as a part of a trilogy, the teenage love triangle. the story goes: betty and james are high school kids and they are together, james cheats on betty with augustine over the summer and then goes back to her to apologise at betty’s birthday party.

Taylor does an amazing job at writing and mentioning details that connect the songs so well!!
The idea of the song mirrorball is like Taylor, a thing that is broken so many times but still shines.
Exactly! Once I heard that “shattered edges glisten” it really shows that
The Last Great American Dynasty is about the history of Taylor's beachside house and the previous tenants :)
Rebekah is truly an icon, legend, and star in my household. 👏🏻❤
Oohhhhh so this is a real story then?
@@elvideoentertainment It is indeed! She's retelling the story of the previous tenants and finding an interesting parallel between herself and Rebekah: "50 years was a long time, holiday house sat quietly on that beach free of women with madness, their men and bad habits, and then it was bought by me"
@@elvideoentertainmentYES! Google Rebekah Harkness. Read about her and you can see pics of the house that Taylor bought.
@@elvideoentertainmentthe only thing that might not be 100% true is "stole his dog and dyed it key lime green" it was apparently a cat but her being a cat person she changed it to dog. 😅

Invisible String was about destiny, and Joe Alwyn worked at a yogurt shop. Epiphany, good call, it is about her Grandfather in WWII.

Track "seven" is about childhood friendship. Her friend is a little girl with "braids like pattern". That little girl's dad was always angry so she had to "hide in the closet". :( That's why "I think that your house is haunted". The saddest and darkest part of the song. However, it's about healing the pain at the end.
When she says “I think your house is haunted” I think of spirits which could be flipped to her dad drinking. It’s such an underrated song ❤
1st track is the 1.
1=1
7=seven
8=august
Critics: If you are really a great songwriter, write a song about the house you just bought. Taylor: Bet! Writes LGAD.
You see how cohesive this album is ? Its gotta make you a swiftie bro
It really is and I have a feeling Evermore might solidify it😅
💗🫶🏼✨
Mad woman is actually about Kanye and Kim. Research what happened with all that if you don’t know and listen again and it will make sense.
te adoro! your videos are great! and you are so sweet! amor from brasil!
React to Kali Uchis new song Te Mata and video
Where did u get Sirens by Lana del rey?
“Stollen lullabies” = Stollen versions of her songs
I mean the records can still be sealed that doesn’t mean you haven’t listened to the songs before lol not like they’re not online haha. Though I tend to lean toward wanting to believe reactors
We all knew you would love it since it’s succhhhh a Lana del Rey album.
Lol that’s what I heard and I hear it, plus she works with Jack Antonoff so it makes sense
My tears ricochet isn’t actually romantic at all. It’s about her masters and how they were stolen from her. The man she’s singing about is Scooter Braun, The “jewels” in “you wear the same jewels that I gave you as you burry me” are he songs, same as “my stolen lullabies” which you actually caught on to. So yeah it’s about the reason for the Taylors versions
While yes I do like to see these tracks with characters as Taylor intended but you can definitely apply them to different stories and perspectives as well which I love about her writing 🩵
My tears ricochet: she WAS the absolute best thing to happen to Big Machine Records, shes the reason the company got to where it is. She was the main breadwinner for the company at the beginning.
Actually if you pair August with Seven you will get August 7; the release date of The lakes-- the bonus track of this album
What's the point of buying albums if you dont listen to them? 😭
I’ll get to them eventually 🤷🏽♂️ Lol
