Bridges in songs are sooooo important, it makes the whole song. And Taylor has mastered creating the best bridges . I truly want to listen over and over for just the bridges
When you see that each comment is talking about another underrated bridge, you just see the reason why folklore is a Taylor Swift album.
the bridge of mad woman, especially the part where she says: "The master of spin has a couple side flings, good wives always know. She should be mad, should be scathing like me but no one likes a mad woman." is SO powerful because it really is true how women are villainised, just like taylor, even for just standing up for themselves.
I think the bridge for peace starts at the "you know that I..."
it kills me how no one recognizes that seven is one of her best bridges ever

bro i just wanna say taylor’s folklore bridges make me feel like i’m ascending into the sky, like i can’t describe the feeling
0:29 the greatest bridge in folklore They say she was seen on occasion Pacing the rocks, staring out at the midnight sea And in a feud with her neighbour She stole his dog and dyed it key lime green 50 years is 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

wow i didn't know that peace doesn't have a bridge, i always considered: "And you know that I'd swing with you for the fences Sit with you in the trenches Give you my wild, give you a child Give you the silence that only comes when two people understand each other Family that I chose, now that I see your brother as my brother Is it enough? But there's robbers to the east, clowns to the west I'd give you my sunshine, give you my best But the rain is always gonna come if you're standing with me" the bridge
The voice blend in exile is simply magical 😢💚
