If someone told me 6 months ago that'd I'd be listening to Taylor Swift & actually giving her a chance, I wouldn't have believed them. Probably would've thought they were crazy in fact, but I'm really glad I now have the ability to explore something even if I'm not a fan at first!

I feel the need to point out that at 3:13 in Betty, James sings he is on her front porch. At 3:13 in Cardigan, Betty says she knew he would be back in her front porch light. In addition, at 2:47 in Betty, James says "she said James get in the car". At 2:47 in August, she says remember when I said Get in the car. Taylor is a master storyteller and the above are just a few examples of her literary genius. Have a Swift day.

According to Taylor: Cardigan - takes place 20 to 30 years in the future with Betty reflecting on the situation August - Augustine's point of view after the summer fling was over (if you pay close attention to the lyrics, 'never mine' sounds like 'nevermind' and 'meet me behind the mall' sounds like 'meet me behind THEM all') Betty - James's perspective after the summer fling and how he tried to find excuses for himself to get Betty back Taylor said that in her mind Betty took him back, but that James was foolish.

Note that Cardigan is the only one from an adults perpective, shes reflecting on a yung love... and she tells us the story from the other characters in the moment of the events... and you can tell the diferences of maturity in the melody, words and percetive. That is what i like the most about these songs

A little trivia for ya, 'Betty' is actor Ryan Reynolds & his wife Blake Lively's favorite song, because Taylor uses all three of their daughters' names in it. Betty, Inez & James (they named her after Ryan's dad. LOL)
@taralovesdiamondart3 ай бұрын
At the time of writing this song, Inez was about 2 years old, so of course "you can't believe a word she says, most times." LOL I love that little hidden wink at the baby.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend Smallest Man Who Ever Lived to people new to Taylor. The 2 verses are kinda monotonous before she does a complete 180 at the bridge. While you might be curious where she's going with the story, I've seen a few reactors barely faking interest until the beat picks up. I personally like that song, but I'm a long time swiftie and can enjoy the complexity of the lyrics, and don't necessarily need to be bopping my head along with a song to enjoy it.

If you want to be mindblown a bit more, she lyrically connected the trilogy (3) with her number (13). (Go to the timestamps for each individual song) At 2:47 (2+4+7 = 13) August: "Remember when I pulled up and said, get in the car" Betty: "She said, James get in" At 3:13 Betty: "Betty, I'm here on your doorstep" Cardigan: "And you'd be standing in my front porch light"

This is copied and pasted from a different video, but people here need to know this: "In addition to the lyical parallels throughout all 3 songs, Taylor is such a genius that the times in which she says certain lines within the songs also line up. Betty is the song that is in the moment and is the frame of reference for cardigan and august. For example, in cardigan the line "And you'd be standing in my front porch light" is sung at 3:14 on the track which directly parallels the line "Betty, I'm here on your doorstep" which she sings at 3:14 on betty. And on august the line (the first time she says it because she says this particular line multiple times in august) "And said "Get in the car"" is sung at 2:46 which reflects the line "She said "James, get in, let's drive"" in betty which is also sung at 2:46 . This is why I think she's one of the best songwriters of all time."
