Taylor is nothing if not a poet. She definitely has bars. Even her more "generic" songs are cleverly constructed, if you pay attention to the lyrics and how the songs are put together. Love that you reacted to this album and so happy to see how much you enjoyed it. This album saved me during the summer of 2000. edit: good choices. The Lakes is one of my favorite Taylor songs.

the song "last great american dynasty" is actually a real story!!! she wrote it about the woman who owned "holiday house" (a house in watch hill, Rhode island) her name was rebekah harkness and after her husband died she threw a lot of partys and her neighbours, who were either familys or old rich men (the average cost of a house there is 2,3 million right now), felt disturbed. after taylor bought the house in 2013 for almost 18 million she was in her early-mid 20s and threw a lot of partys with famous people. a few years later the kim/snake thing happened and she was known as the annoying girl that always plays the victim. as we know rebekah was also described as mad and crazy. taylor related to that so she wrote a song :)

What’s so crazy about Folklore and Evermore is that they were completely unplanned albums. She was supposed to be touring that year but COVID happened. She made folklore in about 3-4 months then 5 months later she dropped Evermore both complete surprise drops with no warning. Folklore got her, her 3rd album of the year win. Albums that would have never happened without COVID. Seven is a top 5 song of her whole discography for me. It about child like innocence and naivity. A time where you could do whatever you want as a child with no worries and being free

I think Folklore being album of the year was a stretch--and an acknowledgment almost of "oopsie, so sorry about that whole trashing your Reputation thing," which is going to go down as a top 5 DISCOGRAPHY entry! That said, I'm betting we would've gotten tour/break up sooner without the pandemic. Instead, she wrote the break up songs first this time!

My tears ricochet is about her manager and record co. Selling her master recordings of her first 6 albums to someone who wanted them for nefarious reasons. Not all songs on Folklore and Evermore were about her personal experiences. Some are about struggles that people face. She gets inspiration from all aspects of life.

this is the album that turned everyone's head. her pen is so sharp

Her vocals went CRAZY in seven, the bridge, and that second chorus 😭

My favorite aspect of this album is the love triangle. Betty's perpective looking back at her and James's relationship, in Cardigan. Augustine's perpective with her short but real to her relationship with James. And James pleading for forgiveness, in Betty.

the singing. the concepts. the BAAAARS. finally someone who appreciates this album.

@brash_and_sassy

Finally? Isn’t this a pretty universally beloved album?

Cardigan, Betty and August are the same story from three views. James was with Betty but he leaves her for a summer fling with Augustine. Cardigan is Betty looking back on the whole situation years later. Betty is James coming back to Betty at the end of the summer. August is Augustine remembering her summer with James. Hopefully that makes sense? ALSO the last great american dynasty is the history of the people who were in the rhode island house she now owns. She bought holiday house and the song is about the history of Rebekah, the woman who lived there before her.

The Masterpiece The Timeless album of the century ❤ The Shakespearean Album ❤ Taylor’s Pen Game is out of this world Her Vocabulary and poetry 🔥❤️

What happened during the albums of Folklore and Evermore you ask?... She was bored. These albums came out during lockdown/covid and we were all bored looking for something to do. Taylor did story telling on 2 albums both released in 2020 🤍🩶🤎 please check out her movie All Too Well.❤

well yes, Taylor had lost sumn at that time and that's what my tears ricochet was abt. so basically, the record label that handled Taylor betrayed her and sold her songs to Scooter Braun. when she won the Artist of the Decade award, she wanted to perform a medley of her songs from when she started up to her latest at that time which was Lover (2019). but then the record label gave her choices, either scrap the plan to rerecord her stolen albums to make it her own in order to perform her songs, or sign a contract with the label again, and each time she released an album she would own one of her stolen album. she decided to rerecord her stolen albums, now known as taylor's versions.

The worst thing about the sale of her songs is that her masters were sold behind her back and, even though she already vocalized wanting to purchase them so she could own her life's work, she wasn't given an option. And the person who sold them without her getting any say in the matter was like a second father to her, so it was a massive betrayal that she went through. On top of that, they were sold TO Scooter Braun, who worked closely with K*nye (and honestly traumatized her in 2009 and tried to ruin her life in 2016 with Kim K). Her first 6 albums, starting from when she was just a little teenager, stolen ("hear my stolen lullabies" in my tears ricochet). And that's what ultimately led her to doing the Taylor's Versions project, so she can take back ownership of her work, album by album 🥹🫶

Many of these songs have gorgeous videos that she directed that you’ll want to check out at some point. They add so much to the song. There is also a short interview before each song on Folklore that you can watch. It’s her with Jack and/or Aaron discussing the meaning behind the lyrics. For example, who the heck is Rebekah? Turns out she’s real and Taylor bought her house in Rhode Island after it sat empty for 50 years. They’re called the Long Pond Studio sessions. Check those out too! You’ll become an even bigger fan!

I'm so glad you liked Mirrorball. Among my friends, it's a polarizing song, but it's my favorite song from the album hands down.

A lot of Taylor swifts music is not always autobiographical. Especially her recent projects that are mostly based off her imagination or inspiration from books/movies she has seen. So don’t be surprised with a lot of complex stuff in these songs. She isn’t going through all dat 😂😂

Her writing in insanely amazing. Swiftie now? If so, welcome to the club :).

Man, folklore is my favorite piece of art ever created, I've listened to it hundreds times, and still the way you enjoyed brought even more love to this masterpiece.

This album is IMHO the finest complete album released in this generation. There is not one false step anywhere. She is a genius lyricist and this album showcases that ability. The crown jewel of this album is Epiphany..

your reaction to mirrorball was my fave! mirrorball has to be my favorite song of hers on folklore, the perfection in that song

Listen to Midnights (3am version) next cause that was her last album release (not counting the re-records) and she has improved so much and that album shows it.

“And this is the second song?!??” is probably the most relatable reaction I’ve heard. You can’t be that talented and attractive and be a good person.i It’s not fair to the rest of us regular people.

If you liked her collab with Bon Iver, she has another one with him on Evermore (it’s the title track). And Bon Iver has another group called Big Red Machine, they have a song with Taylor (it’s basically Taylor’s song bc she sings so much of it lol) that you should check out called Renegade. I think you would like it!! It’s one of my faves.

idk how you dont have 1 million, I watch all of your videos!!

Metri, you pause at the same moments I would. Amazing! I'm just in the discovery days of Taylor started with Midnights.

My fav line ever from Taylor is in invisible string when she says “bad was the blood of the song in the cab on your first trip to LA” because it’s a massive flex to how huge and influential her discography is! he was hearing bad blood in the car years before dating her. Also is yet another invisible string between the two of them it’s just so fucking clever

Ugh… fav reaction video fun watching you experience this and getting where we are love how when you feel her songs you gotta know more and yes there are stories but she pulls inspiration from so many more places than people give her credit for. It’s not just people she dates which is so annoying for people to say lol

Omg enjoyed this video so much

I love this reaction video! Seeing you enjoy this beautiful music for the first time is a joy to watch. And love the acknowledgement of her vocal ability as well, we all know she has bars for days but very rarely do her vocals get some love! If you weren’t already told by 50 million Swift fans by now (I apologize for wasting your time if you were!) The spelling of Rebekah in The Last Great American Dynasty is spelled that way because the song is about Rebekah Harkness, the woman whose home she bought in Rhode Island. And all the storytelling about Rebekah is true- the marriage to the standard oil heir, his untimely death, filling the pool with champagne, the stealing of the neighbor’s dog and dyeing it key lime green, the card games with Salvador Dali, her love of the ballet (at least from what I’ve been able to research about Rebekah Harkness). But that’s why it’s spelled that way 😊 Taylor says in “Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions” that she’s been wanting to write a song about Rebekah Harkness since 2013. She was looking at the house and the realtor told her about the home’s history and prior owners and she was so fascinated by the story she’d been waiting years to find the right track to write the song about Rebekah. And YES she was going through it with My Tears Ricochet; it’s about the sale of her masters by Scott Borchetta (the man who created her old label and who she trusted implicitly) to Scooter Braun (not someone she is a fan of). She offered to buy the masters for her first 7 albums herself and instead they were sold to (or stolen by) Scooter Braun. This inspired her idea for the rerecording of the seven albums that were sold, (the Taylor’s Version project). Since she couldn’t buy her own music she wrote, she re-recorded it so that she could finally own her music. “This is Me Trying” came from her ruminating during lockdown about people living with addiction or mental health issues and how they try every single day but no one knows. No one knows that every day is a struggle for that person. “Epiphany” is about both her grandfather’s service in WWII at Guadalcanal and about the healthcare workers battling the pandemic in the second verse. Also Cardigan, August, and Betty are a trilogy about a love triangle. 😊 Sorry if you already knew all of that! It’s so wonderful to watch people listen to Taylor’s music for the first time and watching you listen to and discover this album for the first time is a pleasure to watch ❤ If you haven’t already seen it, I’d recommend watching “Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions” on Disney+. Would love to see your reaction to that!
