I agreee

[@kayrobinin]

holy cow i finally understand the "peter losing wendy" line. if you didn't know, taylor's songs betty, august, and cardigan are written in the perspective of 3 people in a love triangle (james, betty, and another girl). cardigan is in the POV of betty (who was cheated on). when i was listening to these songs i was thinking about how betty is seems way more grown up than james and she has a more mature perspective on their relationship. WELL the reason peter lost wendy was because wendy grew up and moved on. BETTY IS LIKE WENDY BECAUSE SHE GREW UP AND WOWOWOW i can't believe i didn't realize this before!! ok that's it. thoughts?

[@TheLCJ82]

Taylor is Wendy and Peter Pan is Harry.

[@lord_of_loch_ness4468]

Mabye it's because i cant speak english very well, but I didn't know about this triangle before i started reading comments

[@AB-ku8du]

This is so genius woww!!!

[@TheLCJ82]

I dont think necessarily cheated on - I think it is abou the time Taylor and Harry almost got back togetheer following a reunite at awards, then he was with Kendall in a car like two days later, esentially leaving the opportunity to rekndle things with her.

[@anahitakumari6171]

"Cardigan" is one of 3 songs believed to be part of what Taylor calls the "teenage love triangle" trilogy. According to me, cardigan is the first, written from the pov of betty (the girlfriend who is cheated on), "august" is the second written from the pov of the girl who James (the boyfriend) cheated on, "betty" is the conclusion written from the pov of James (the boyfriend) FIRST VERSE The first verse sets the mood of teenagehood with vintage T-shirts and excitement over new cell phones. "Sensual politics" could refer to the fact that when you're 18 you get to vote so you're new to the politcal world, or it could be a reference to the complicated social politics of high school. “When you are young, they assume you know nothing” is one of the most repeated lines in the song and is used to highlight how much Betty knows about love and pain (she has unfortunately become very experienced with both.) CHORUS Betty knows him, truly and deeply. She has an intimate understanding of him through the moments they shared in their relationship. The past tense of knew, however, means that things have changed. “Baby, kiss it better,” could be what he did for her once, at the beginning of their relationship, and what she hopes he will do now to ease the pain he has caused her. REFRAIN Betty often felt forgotten and like she was second best to those around her. James helped her to feel loved and seen. This feeling is likened to when a long lost item of clothing is found and is treasured once again. SECOND VERSE Because this song is connected to “august” and “betty,” we know that she is talking about James’s infidelity with another girl. By trying to have more, he has lost what mattered. Again, Betty shows her insight and her awareness of the situation, defying the cliche of a young person not having an understanding of life. SECOND CHORUS There is an innocence in the kinds of moments that Betty recalls in the second chorus. While the first chorus focuses more on a physical aspect of the relationship, the emphasis here is simple and emotional. BRIDGE The bridge combines the physical and emotional aspects of their relationship. She highlights that “all [they] needed” to be happy was each other’s company. James was able to give her not only healing, but help in appreciating and being at peace with her scars. Now, she is in more pain from the heartbreak he has caused her. THRID CHORUS In the third chorus, Betty focuses not on the comfort and joy of their time together, but on the tragic end of their romance. Even as he abandoned her for another girl and she watched him “steppin’ on the last train,” she still knew him. “Tried to change the ending” means that, at least in retrospect, their relationship seemed to always be heading towards heartbreak. “Peter losing Wendy” refers to the story of Peter Pan, who takes a girl named Wendy to Neverland: a place where no one ever grows up. Peter asks Wendy to stay with him, but as much as she values their adventures, she wants to go home and grow up. In the context of this song, the reference means that Betty is aware that James is the one lacking in maturity, and he is losing her because he won’t grow up. THIRD VERSE Far from a child who “know[s] nothing,” Betty is very knowledgeable of the acute betrayal and heartbreak that James has caused her. She muses with bitterness that she did predict the ways the relationship would haunt her after it ended. She knew that it would stay with her and that the memory of their time together would creep up on her when she was doing something as mundane as running errands, she knew that she would be furious for a long time with him, and she knew that one day he would beg her to take him back. She knew all of it. And though it’s left to the imagination, by the sound of it, it sounds like she also knew that the day he came back, she wouldn’t want him anymore. Every lyric is so well written this could legit be a movie. There is no doubt that Taylor is a lyrical genius and sorry that it's a little long just wanted to share my thoughts

"you put me on and said I was your favorite" putting someone on typically means to lead someone on, to tell they they're "your favorite" when that isn't entirely true. It's pure genius, not only the play on words(putting someone on like a cardigan) but the way Taylor is able to tap into these characters and not only feel they're pain, but make everyone else feel they're pain. By the end of the song our hearts bleed for this character Betty. Only to find out it was Taylor's storytelling all along.

[@jemimahbarretto8714]

"I knew you tried to change the ending, Peter losing Wendy" This whole song reminds me of "Love Story" without the happy ending. It's like the real story of Romeo and Juliet, that they grew up and learned the world, and knew they would not be together in the end. The same way the young Taylor Swift dreamed of a happy ending and then she grew up and realized the world is a harsher place than she imagined it would be, that endings will not always be happy, but somehow along the way, be the best journey yet...

When she single handedly flipped 2020 around 👑👑

[@arabella2024]

1:24 'Playing hide and seek and giving me your weekends'. I could be wrong but hide and seek can refer to the time James was cheating on Betty with Augustine and only taking out time on weekends for Betty. She always knew something was up with James but couldn't believe a word Inez told regarding James cheating on her. She loved him enough that she didn't imagine him doing anything like that. Also, Betty has a mature perspective and didn't spend her time on petty gossips and stuff only to realize how wrong she was this time. 1:06 'A friend to all is a friend to none. Again, I'm only 14, so do not expect me to be right, but that line could mean that either Betty and Augustine were close friends or that James perceived her only as a friend but did more with her.
