    Most of these songs aren’t about her, they are just stories she’s created. Cardigan, August, and Betty are all songs she wrote about a high school love triangle. Each from the different person’s perspective. The only ones about her and joe are mirror ball, invisible string, and peace

      Mirrorball is about her career and her fans. How she's trying her best to keep us looking at her. She even said she knows the end is near but how she'll do everything for her fans.

  • @tarabartley9279

    My original top 3 was exile which I think is now my fav Taylor song, mad woman, and invisible string but loved hoax, epiphany, cardigan, and my tears ricochet
    peace is moving up on my favorites list - I just love “I’d give you my sunshine, give you my best, but the rain is always gonna come if you’re standing next to me”
    And I love the melody of the chorus in august and I love the bridge in illicit affairs “don’t call me kid, don’t call me baby, look at this god forsaken mess that you made me” and now the last great American dynasty makes me cry just bc I’m so proud of her like she wrote a story about the woman owning her favorite house. She did that. Who would think to do that. And every time she says “and then it was bought by me” I die. I love hoax. I love it so much. “I stood on the cliffside screaming give me a reason” and also “it still hurts under my scars from where they pulled me apart, but what you did was just as dark.” I love epiphany. I love that epiphany is about her grandfather in war and Covid and BLM. Exile is my number one fav Taylor song. Ever. I think The 1 is about all of her exes and what if they had been fun and the melody is so fun and the line “if one thing had been different, everything would be different”. I love mad woman. I love “and you poke that bear til her claws come out” and “wanting me dead obviously brought you two together.” I love invisible string so much. I love “all this time there was an invisible string tying you to me” and “a string that pulled me out of all of the wrong arms into that dive bar.”
    I love love love how catchy august is. I can’t get over “when I felt like an old cardigan under someone’s bed, you put me in and said I was your favorite.” Battle ships sinking. The imagery. The IMAGERY. Her saying she’s a mirror ball standing over everyone else dancing showing them who they are. Seven being about a friend. THIS IS ME TRYING like FUCKKKK I can’t even it’s definitely about her disappearing and thinking that was what we wanted and regretting it. My tears ricochet is not only sonically a masterpiece but the digs at big machine records??? “Cursin my name, wishin I stayed” and “stolen lullabies” and “you wear the jewels I gave you as you bury me” are her ALBUMS
    Also I have a theory I haven’t seen a lot of people talking about and it’s heartbreaking and hopefully not true but in peace she says “give you my wild, give you a child” and she sounds pained and then in hoax she says “my barren land” and I feel like it could be a reference to a miscarriage or infertility struggles :(
    Betty, august, and cardigan being a trilogy of a love triangle from each persons perspective where cardigan is from bettys perspective years later, august is from inezs perspective and Betty is from James perspective and also the HARMONICA in Betty like she brought back yeehaw and it’s so good and the whole album is just soooo poetic like every line is so good and I really really think this is my favorite album. I’m genuinely obsessed with the sound and lyrics of every song and I’m so proud of her I’m just crying I love her so much 😭😭😭😭
    Fav lines are: chase two girls, lose the one
    It’s obvious wanting me dead brought you two together
    Hell was the journey but it brought me heaven
    A dwindling mercurial high, a drug that only worked the first few hundred times
    “You never gave a warning sign” “I gave SO MANY signs” hit me like a ton of bricks
    I’ll give you my sunshine give you my best, but the rain is always gonna come when you’re standing next to me
    Stood on the cliffside screaming give me a reason
    If I’m dead to you why are you at the wake
    When I felt like an old cardigan under someone’s bed, you put me on and said I was your favorite
    And then it was bought by me
    And I’m sure I’m forgetting some bc every single lyric was SO beautifully, hauntingly poetic.
    Also in invisible string she mentions their 3 year anniversary to the lakes so I really hope the lakes proves a balky ending for us
    I am in love. I love her so so so much

      i think we will agree that the more we listen, the more ranking of our top faves will change? i mean the one that we initially a skip song might become one in the top as the days goes by lol
      like for me mirror ball was a skip at first but now i am really loving it haha
      mine is still August on top.

      Katie Lujan since this lengthy comment I’ve also read and theorized more lol: cardigan, Betty, and august could also be a love trilogy about her, the fans/her music, and Scott with Betty being what she wishes Scott would say to make it better, august being about losing her music that was “never hers to lose” and cardigan being a love letter to her fans like “when I felt like an old cardigan under someone’s bed, you (the fans) put me on and said I was your favorite (musician)
      I also think hoax and the 1 could be about Scott. My tears ricochet definitely is.
      ALSO
      at the beginning of cardigan is about her past eras:
      Vintage tee, brand new phone (1989)
      High heels on, cobblestone (red)
      Sequin smile, black lipstick (rep)
      Sensual politics (lover)

    Yours was the only reaction I cared about. This is actually my second time watching this! I made the decision after listening to this album that I was also getting a Taylor Swift tattoo, still not sure what, but I’m totally getting one. Our favorites from your follow up video are basically the same. And your reaction is the most fun to watch because you love her the way I love her and the way that’s so many other people love her. It’s so pure. I’m super excited to see if you have a reaction to the lakes, I’m still waiting for my official copy but I have heard it! Just when you think it can’t get any better, Miss Taylor Alison Swift comes through. This is her best album. This is my favorite album. This is solidified my love on another level.

    She is a genius! such a good album! the discussion with your friend is awesome. swifties talking music has me hooked. my problem is that I can talk about Taylor's music all day haha. do you think the songs could grow on you more with time and more listens. I think Mad Woman is about Scott and Scooter.
    Cardigan, August and Betty are the 3 songs that tell the story of a teenage love triangle of characters she made up. James, Betty and another girl. each song is told from the prospective of each character. Cardigan is from the prospective of Betty. August is from the prospective of the girl James cheated on Betty with and the song Betty is from James's prospective. and in those 3 songs there are parallels to each other in the lyrics and meaning. like in Cardigan Betty says that James is immature/insecure and in the song Betty James mentions it. just a quick example. so Taylor made up all that and played around with these ideas.
    The Last Great American Dynasty is about the former home owners of Taylor's Rhode Island house. socialite Rebekah Harkness
    . Rebekah married Bill, a rich man who owns a oil company. Bill had a heart attack and died and the neighbors blamed her, the town never liked her anyway cause she was a "middle class divorceé". after the incident she never went to her Rhode Island house again. she started to travel with some "friends" living a lush life, she was even friends with Salvador Dalí. the holiday house was 50 years empty until Taylor bought it. and that's the story that Taylor tells in this song. so it's all a true story about Rebekah.

    ‪I just woke up with the thought: what If Taylor wants us to figure out that folklore is about losing her albums and pass the story down like folklore as a cautionary tale to new artists about what happened when you don’t own your music & how painful it is to lose it 🤯 ‬
    Also Omggggg wow someone just said cardigan, Betty, and august could also be a love trilogy about her, the fans/her music, and Scott with Betty being what she wishes Scott would say to make it better, august being about losing her music that was “never hers to lose” and cardigan being a love letter to her fans like “when I felt like an old cardigan under someone’s bed, you (the fans) put me on and said I was your favorite (musician)

    I don't think most of the songs are about her, they're just stories she created about some characters (hence the title folklore). Also in all her previous albums, the cover was a close up of her coz they were her stories, but in this the cover is more about the surroundings she observed whimsically, and hence the songs are more about the stories she experienced in her surroundings so not about her.

    The whole album is the story of Betty (Rebekah) James and the other girl he cheated on with. Cardigan is from Betty's perspective. August is from the perspective of the other girl and Betty is from James's perspective. And the rest of the songs are also inspired from them.
    Tracklist-
    The one- Betty looking back in life and thinking of James.
    Cardigan - also Betty's POV. Looking back after 20 years or so.
    The last great American dynasty - Betty (Rebekah harkness) leaves town and moves to Rhode Island and marries bill. Their mansion is now owned by Taylor.
    Exile- the back and forth between James and Betty. It's their conversation.
    My tears ricochet - this is after James dies. It's his funeral.
    Mirrorball- this is about the other girl and James. Also could be about when Betty meets bill.
    Seven- when Betty and James were kids. Now she's looking back.
    August- POV of the other girl.
    This is me trying- this is James singing to Betty. Trying to make up for everything.
    Illicite affairs - James and the other girl. This is about their affair.
    Invisible string - inspired by Taylor and Joe.
    Mad woman - about Rebekah (Betty) as they used to call her the maddest woman. But also inspired by Taylor herself. For the people who have wronged her.
    Epiphany - James joins the army and later on dies. Betty on the other hand is going through her own shit in life.
    Betty - pretty obvious this is James's POV.
    Peace- this is Betty and her husband or probably James (I'm a little confused) but yes also inspired by Taylor and Joe themselves.
    Hoax- this is Betty dealing with James's death.
    So there it is. I mean the album is much deeper than this but I've put it in the simplest of the words here. No one is gonna read it but if you do then I hope it helps.
    Take care and keep listening and buying this beautiful masterpiece. Folklore
