TAYLOR REALLY IS THAT GENIUS

i don’t own this, i just found it on twitter (from reddit) and needed to share it!!

[lovestory]

Folklore (2020). Taylor Swift Stars drawn around scars. A cardigan that still bears the scent of loss 20 years later. Battleships sinking into the ocean, down, down, down. The tree swing in the woods of my childhood. Hushed tones of “let’s run away” and never doing it. The sun drenched month of August, sipped away like a bottle of wine. A mirrored disco ball hovering above a dance floor. A whiskey bottle beckoning. Hands held through plastic. A single thread that, for better or for worse, ties you to fate.

folklore by taylor swift (released july 24, 2020)

A tale that becomes folklore is one that is passed down and whispered around. Sometimes even sung about. The lines between fantasy and reality blur and the boundaries between truth and fiction become almost indiscernible. Speculation, over time, becomes fact. Myths, ghost stories, and fables. Fairytales and parables. Gossip and legend. Someone’s secrets written in the sky for all to behold.

I love how usually the instant reaction by everyone (fans, critics, general public) to taylor's music is analysing how it relates to her private life and trying to figure out which of her relationships each song is about so then with folklore she's just gone "yeah some of these are made up some are real some are about people I don't even know some are about me some are myths some are fantasy some are memory. enjoy."

[swiftbutterflies]

i can’t believe taylor wrote a whole song about me, named it after me and made it the best song on folklore

[shedidntevenswear]

folklore is just so meaty. i feel like there’s a lot to chew on. a lot to digest. since it’s not directly about her public life, which we obviously keep a good pulse on, i can’t immediately extract the meaning/references and then apply it to my life. i need time to really focus and understand the stories these songs are telling, and then find the personal meaning. 

the sound and production and vocals and imagery are great so i know i love it, but i need more time with the lyrics and stories. so i’m not like jumping up and down screaming that this is the best thing taylor has ever made, not because i definitely dont think it is, but because i need more time to process to be able to honestly say that. 

anyway, i really only wrote this in case it helps anyone else who may feel bad not being able to honestly and wholeheartedly say its their favorite right now.

this album is so smart for so many reasons and a huge one is it goes against what everyone says about her like they said she went pop for the streams but this album is so folksy they say she does too many easter eggs to break records so she gave us less than a days notice they say she writes too much about her love life and shes a serial dater so she wrote almost an entire album about love and romances that are completely fictional
