physically i am in a pandemic but emotionally i’m in a storm in my best dress, fearless

i stand by the fact that your interpretation of folklore will be different than anyone else’s bc the whole point is that people imprint themselves on folklore stories and that is what makes it folklore. like these songs were written to hold many different meanings that’s the whole entire point

[eva-mei-10]

without your past,

you could never have arrived-

so wondrously and brutally,

By design or some violent, exquisite happenstance

...here.

folklore feels like you just found an old collection of letters tied up with ribbon, in a box in someone’s attic and you wipe off the dust and sit down right there to carefully flip through them and you get a glimpse into the world of whoever wrote them

[souplups]

taylor swift wrote folklore for all the people who loved taylor swift as a child but instead of getting married at eighteen they grew up to be depressed and full of yearning 

[thelasttime]

to put it simply: taylor swift has not yee’d her last haw

[shedidntevenswear]

honestly this is when it pays to be a taylor stan well-versed in her entire discography, including and especially her early work and unreleased songs. because the general public knows her for her confessional, straightforward songwriting. they’re used to taking her lyrics at face value. hence the many MANY texts i’ve received in the last hour asking me if taylor “broke up with her boyfriend” or if she’s ok. 

but if you listen to early unreleased songs and selections of her work throughout the years, she’s proven she’s great at putting fictional storylines or other people’s stories to song. the emotions are real – they’re hers. but the details of the events are not ripped from the pages of her diary this time. 

letting go of this insistence that every detail of every song is a clue to her personal life really frees us up to analyze these songs and find the universal humanity in them instead of just celebrity gossip fodder.

Taylor Swift’s albums

taylor swift invented autumn twice, in 2012 and in 2020, and somehow that was everything

[taylahswildestdreams]

I can’t even pick a favourite cos they are all my favourite

[idsb]

This is a turning point in her career and that’s silly to say for someone on their 8th album but I can FEEL it. The sophistication in the songwriting. The storytelling. The soft poeticism. The way the lyrics drift so perfectly over the melodies. No one who listens to this can exit this album without saying she is the songwriter of this generation and knowing how important her writing ability is to her, that is so important.

i think we can all agree that folklore
