But Like Folklore Had The Highest First-week Opening Of Any Album Since Lover Which Had The Highest First-week

Hets saying Folklore is bout random stories she made up is just sad. It's HER story. HER folklore. All the real events that took place and the myths being heard around regarding her relationships with girls since she was a teen. Playing & being played at school,gay summer flings, the love she will always have for Emily, how Dianna could have been the 1 but isn't and has no regrets anymore,the hell and back Kaylor went through but still going strong. Karlie's honor! Listen to Peace!! Kaylor rise!

Just thinking about them having parallel lives from the very beginning, being named after a married couple - James Taylor and Carly Elisabeth Simon. Taylor growing up in a Christmas Tree Farm, and Karlie's last name being Kloss (from Klaus / Claus). Being scouted and gaining popularity at an early age (early teens). Attending the same events for several years after said stardom. Being told constantly by make-up artists and hairstylists that they're the same person, that they would be instant friends. Then officially meeting and bonding on November 13th 2013. They intertwined.

In Great War she’s admitting karlie didn’t betray her. That karlie stayed true and took the heat anyway. That it got out of control and hurt karlie but she stood strong and stay true and honorable to Taylor. Holy Crap

Looks like GrammyGate 2.0 is about to happen again (if she wins)… Let the games begin?


Submission 👆🏼

SR: I would be surprised if she (or anyone) would win Album of the Year two years in a row. So I think this one will go by uneventfully.

The New Year midnight is nearly upon us.

As we March into the sunset, 2022 is not the only thing that will expire at midnight.

A fresh page…a new chapter.

Au revoir, à bientôt en tournée.

the other big reason why i think a lot of lesbians have always really resonated with taylor's music is because her earliest work was so clearly not written from the point of view of someone talking about real relationships she'd really had, but from the perspective of someone very sheltered and inexperienced who was writing about the way the world has taught them they SHOULD feel, if that makes sense. her whole artistic perspective has always felt like that of someone who was very intelligent but also somewhat developmentally delayed socially/romantically, and when you look at albums like debut or fearless (or even speak now, red, and 1989, tbh), it was always like, the happy/romantic songs were about fantasy scenarios or very brief initial interactions with a lot of projection and extrapolation involved, or pining after someone untouchable or unavailable, and the ones that felt "real" and like they came from actual lived experiences were about feeling let down or uncomfortable with the reality of what came after that first rush. so yeah can you IMAGINE why women and girls dealing with compulsory heterosexuality and the fallout from it might possibly relate to those themes?

I wrote the Exile > MTR > Happiness anon and would like to elaborate/clarify what I meant as I was rushing when I sent the original anon. All my opinion of course (so no disrespect to anyone).

Taylor said the focus of folklore was the love triangle between Betty/James/Inez and that evermore was the sister album—both albums are telling that entire story. So because of this, I think you have to really listen between the lines.

I never said Karlie and Taylor have “seen each other out recently” nor am I saying that they broke up (they’ve shown VERY recently that they haven’t). I’m saying that these three songs are about someone she broke up with *before* she started dating Karlie. Exile is about finally leaving a toxic relationship. Why would Scott care if he saw her in a picture with her arms around someone else laughing? Why would he tell her it took her five whole minutes to be in someone else’s arms after they’d just had a fight (for example)?

MTR is the conversation after the breakup in Exile. “You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same—it had to end even though neither person wanted it to. It hurt her to leave and it hurt the other person to watch her leave.

“Hear my stolen lullabies” is a metaphor for hearing her voice, not her literal songs. Her voice haunting this person, even though she’s not there. Her screaming at the sky because the other person isn’t there so she has no one to talk to. They gather stones never knowing what they mean—some to throw (pick a fight), some to make a diamond ring. They don’t know if it’s gonna be love or war. Like in tolerate it when she says “I greet you with a battle hero’s welcome”. When someone comes home from war, you don’t know what version of that person you’re going to get. Also, what exactly would Scott be giving her a diamond ring for?

“I can go anywhere I want just not home”—she can go anywhere but home because she can’t be around or face the person she just left in Exile. Just like in Happiness, when she says “I pulled your body into mine very g—damn night, now I can’t fake niceties”—she can’t be “just friends” with this person after something like that (sleeping together). Champagne Problems—how evergreen our group of friends…don’t think we’ll say that word again .

She accepts the end of *that* relationship in “Happiness and chooses to be happy. There is happiness (with Karlie) AFTER that previous relationship and there’s also happiness BECAUSE of that person/relationship. Had she not left that situation (as much as she may not have wanted to..as that’s the price she paid) she wouldn’t be in the one she is now—7 years of heaven. How even across their “great divide” or breakup, there was a bright spot—a glorious sunrise (from St. Louis). Dappled in flickers of light from the dress she wore at midnight (she was buried in that dress in the LWYMMD video…which she wore to the 2014 Met Gala that she and Karlie attended). She left it all behind for happiness.

It’s time to go is knowing when to leave a generally toxic situation whether it’s a job, romantic or platonic relationship. When you’re at a job for 20 years and you don’t get the promotion, the boss’ son does. When you notice your partner look at another person a certain way, not as friends even though they say otherwise, you have that gut feeling…

…or when you expect something different from your partner and it’s the same thing over and over and you’re lost again with no surprises, only disappointments…

and finally, when you’ve been asking to own your work for years only to be shot down every single time and have them sold to someone else out of spite. <—this is why I said this was a Scott song because it references her old label drama.

You are welcome to believe this. But, also, see this article:

Taylor Swift says dispute with Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun felt like divorce

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the Grammy-winning pop behemoth confirmed that songs "My Tears Ricochet" and "Mad Woman" were inspired by her former Big Machine label boss Scott Borchetta and music industry bigwig Scooter Braun.

Hum... am I seeing a story of the super straight, girlfriend-filled alpha male being planted in that famous IG gossip profile? Better is see the suggestion of the owner of the profile *I think this is a NY based couple. If this is the harbinger of the end, Jerk is emptying his pockets in this new farce. 💸💸💸💸💸 Lol

I have no idea what this is about???
