mad woman is also a reference to Jane eyre (the mad woman in the basement and Edward's first wife) Edward kept his wife hidden in a basement since he was ashamed of her she also mentioned in the making of the man calling out the music industry " a man is allowed to react but a woman is only allowed to overreact "

@narjisseljarmi200 3 года назад

I forgot to say this but Taylor mentions Jane eyre a second time with invisible strings as in the book it says " I have a strange feeling regard to you as if I had a string somewhere in my left ribs tightly knotted to a similar string in you " i think Edward said that

@YeeYee14791 2 года назад

No Jane says that I think

@aneeshakandala2545 3 года назад

i also think that hoax can reference a bit of her life as well? the line “you know it still hurts underneath my scars from when they pulled me apart”; and how “they” could be about the media and how “they” constantly demonize taylor

yes definitely!

@nicolestefaniahunziker9633 3 года назад

Also “you know I left a part of me back in New York” !!!

@Sweetasanni3thing 3 года назад

@@MadisonGraceN I actually always thought this song was about Selena and Justin. That line, the scars, in reference to Selena’s surgery. Taylor has mentioned using other people’s break ups as story lines now that she is in a solid relationship. For some reason, that is how I’ve always imagined this song.

@vaibhavikulkarni3180 Год назад

this is the beauty of folklore lthough there might be a certain interpretation that taylor thought of while writing these songs they are all up for interpretation. like i always associated "this is me trying" with academic stress and validation especially with lines like "i had the shiniest wheels now they're rusting" hinting that it was easy to be a top student as a kid but as the years went on i wore out. mirrorball is a song i associated with being a people pleaser, always adjusting into peoples expectations and liking so they would like you. just my opinion tho have a nice days folks :)

ok hold on, how did it take me 16 months to find out that the entire album isn’t exclusively about James, Betty, and Augustine lol? like, I obviously saw parallels with Taylor’s life, but I thought every song had something to do with the same love triangle

@oliviakay2936 Год назад

i still keep that in the back of my mind… it’s kinda nice to think abt

@rloyBB 3 года назад

@osielescalante2785 3 года назад

Folklore is actually all about the life of Rebecca Harkness. Rebecca and Betty are the same person (Rebecca also went by Betty), and it follows her life from when she was a teenager in a love triangle in St. Louis; to the success she found after she left. Taylor sometimes gives us her own perspective on things and how Rebecca influenced her and how Rebecca’s story changed her perspective on life (TLGAD, Seven, Invisible String).

@charlos7040 3 года назад

this is a great concept, but taylor stated in the long pond studio sessions how she purely wanted to put her imagination into specific songs. im not disputing what you said, but she has never stated that. she talked about how she had the mindset of a small quaint town with so much occurring/happening in it. :)

@sofiegoldie4861 Год назад

she also says in Betty when James talks about how Augustine said "get in the car" it's at the exact same time in August when Augustine says "get in the car"

@everex1239 Год назад

I’m Betty it was “James get in” not “Get in the car” but it is interesting

@zinzolin14 3 года назад

@gummy416 3 года назад

hi i love this video so much (and the evermore one)! i just wanted to add some other information i retained for "the lakes - bonus track" and share it with you guys :) the song talks about how poetry is a dead art, just like her type/genre of music. now it seems that everyone is into the very superficial stuff and not the old, true, sentimental things. i think she explains it really well with the lyrics "take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die". i think it displays our new generation so well because shes saying that true authentic love and art is dying and it is our job to keep it alive!

@MOONDEAN Год назад

I’d always interpreted “this is me trying” as Taylor speaking to the listener. It’s her confessing how she feels like she hasn’t handled previous things in the best way and that she wants us to know right now as the world is falling to ash, she is trying

@astridberntssoningelstam4121 2 года назад

I always interpretated peace as a song about a love that isn't meant to be because the personalities don't quite match, and the narrator desperately wanting it to work out and be willing to give anything. Like "I'm not perfect for you, I will never give you peace, but I'm hoping I'll be enough if I give you my all". Reminds me of a relationship I went through that turned a bit toxic by the end.

@servicedogkyzanna1761 3 года назад

Very nice, Madison! It is really nice to hear from someone so obviously educated, and well-spoken. When I saw the title, I thought this might be almost click-bait, but you did a nice job. No contractions, no slang, no profanity, no lol's- do you have any idea how rare that is in this world? You are obviously quite young, and I have to give you high praise and tell you that no matter the temptation to give in to the pressure to seen like a Marjorie Green- please remain this educated version of yourself! I will absolutely be subscribing, and recommending you to others. The other thing that was so nice, is the lack of drama. Thank you.
