Apparently the joe signed another folklore cd at the Toronto film festival he is at today, we’ll never win 😭😅

Ew lol does it actually look like or slightly resemble his name this time? 😂

Sweet Nothing (Piano Remix) is so beautiful. So is the original version. And I feel so conflicted talking about this song. Because I just know she’s going to ruin this song for me with a bearded explanation.

Wild how WB is still a thing but Taylor’s explanation of the purpose for a pseudonym doesn’t quite work anymore if she already told the public her boyish beau is the real WB…lolol crazy how that works

The Grammy stunt Taylor did really bothers me too, it's like barely a millimeter away from her commiting like six felony counts of criminal copyright infringement and that is exactly the reason she had a music lawyer as part of the team that worked on the LPSS, because the only reason Taylor's not a convicted felon for that Toe stunt is because the psedonym on the folklore/evermore copyrights for her unidentified US citizen co-writer is Willam Bowery instead of William Bowery, she exploited the smallest loophole to get away with what otherwise would be a very egregious felony crime spree considering a 1992 amendment to US copyright law made it a felony to lie about things like citizenship for pseudonyms on copyright applications with the intent to increase financial gains, which would be Taylor's intent in your scenario #2 😬

Okay this discussion of copyright law keeps coming up so I just wanted to actually pull the law as well as some circulars from the copyright office that discuss copyright law and registering pseudonymous work and registration in general straightforward terms.

To start, Taylor and Paul had a full discussion about pseudonyms in the 2020 Rolling Stone article. So I’ll start with that excerpt:

——

Next this is an excerpt from a compendium on the law regarding the application for copyright:

——

Next this is a circular that discusses pseudonymous works generally. I am attaching excerpts that point out that Taylor and her team are not required to provide the author’s real name anywhere on the application for a pseudonymous work.

——

And finally, Taylor and her team have the option at any time to file a supplementary registration to add the real name of the pseudonymous author. Literally at any time. We saw it done on the copyright for TIWYCF. Also she can correct the domicile/citizenship too without much issue.

Taylor could have filed the supplementary registration at any time and she still hasn’t because the person still has not been identified. That is the main take away here, in my opinion.

He doesn’t use her for promo at all 🤔

(Im surprised people don’t see this pattern, like his new show comes out in less than a month)

All the answers 🙄

But who is Willam?

[chickawah23]

hi!

first... sorry for my bad english, but i hope you can understand 😅

If there's one thing that keeps me awake at night is think that taylor talks about William Bowery not being a "real person" in long pond studio sessions. And now, after grammygate, william bowery AND joe alwyn are cited as collaborators on "exile" and "betty". 

and when joe is mentioned in long pond, his name doesn't appear, unlike aaron's brother who is also mentioned during the movie

Idk, they seem to be different people don't they?

No need to apologize your English is great, anon!

Yes I noticed this too. And it seems like Taylor is directing the media to focus on JA as the producer rather than the co-writer. Almost like she is trying to distance him further from how WB was originally credited on her albums. So yeah it seems like her boyish beau is his own separate thing.

Every now and again I still pop back over to her original ig caption for folklore thanking everyone for their specific contributions

[chickawah23]

Me popping back over to Taylor’s original post announcing folklore every time her boyish beau has been credited with an award for all his work on the album.

She can edit that caption at any time.

Taylor saying “and I was... entranced” during long pond studio sessions when she’s talking about exile and her beau’s beautiful lyrics and melody makes me laugh so hard every time.
