[@maddiequo]

She wrote this song about everything that happened between her and Scott Borchetta (the owner of her previous label, Big Machine Records). While every lyrics relates back to a feeling or moment between them, I'm just gonna pull a few and give you guys some insight :) Hope it helps! "I didn't have it in myself to go with grace" is in regards to all the public blow ups they've since had once she found out Scott sold her masters to Scooter Braun. She wasn't prepared to take it silently and went for the kill in the media. "Cause when I'd fight, you used to tell me I was brave." Scott was Taylor's biggest cheerleader, having signed her when she was 14 and being one of the first people on his new label. He watched her grow up. He was like family to her. "Cursing my name, wishing I'd stayed." The contradiction of her knowing that he is publicly throwing punches her way, but deep down he always wanted her to stay with the label but was pissed off when she decided to move so that she could own the masters to her future work (something that he wasn't willing to offer her if she stayed with Big Machine). "And I still talk to you, when I'm screaming at the sky." A vulnerable lyric, IMO, and I think it shows that while Taylor wishes she could just hate Scott and move on, a part of her was just deeply hurt by the betrayal she felt when he sold her music to her worst enemy. "And when you can't sleep at night, you hear my stolen lullabies." This lyric cemented the idea of it being about Scott, because she feels like he never gave her a real chance to own her music and thus, stole them from her and he should feel guilty about that/it should keep him up at night. I remember in an interview she said that she had many conversations with Scott over the years (sometimes in tears) about her problems with Scooter, but Scott had 330 reasons to forget those problems. (referencing the $330m sale Scott got for selling off his label, 80% of revenue that Taylor accounted for BTW)

[@rahullovesthepayne8690]

Wow I was comment this but not in that detail but you did THAT. so thank you!

[@YourvitamineD]

But i also think if we connected this to the story that she made. It would be about James's point of view

[@maddiequo]

​@@YourvitamineD Sure. I just think this album is so much bigger than the love triangle and is a lot more personal than some people are thinking. But it's totally your choice to interpret however you want :)

[@mellinatre1149]

I agree..this for me is definitely one of the songs about her stolen music.. one of because for me at least other 3 songs can have strong ties to it, Taylor was obviously heartbroken about the all ordeal so I can see why some songs in this album are about her processing her feelings about it in different scenarios and from different point of views

[@YourvitamineD]

@@maddiequo yeah That's what i thought. I mean we all know she made a story in this Album. But i also think she's definitely put some of her thoughts and her own experience in certain song. C'mon it's Taylor. It wouldn't be that easy 😁

[@anabergespolo8631]

The official story Taylor has given to this song is that it's about a ghost (a dead woman) haunting the man who was obssesed with her in life who is at her wake lamenting she is gone (and in the lyrics it's heavely implied he killed her, so heavy domectic violence themes there). BUT, as many people have correctly pointed out, this seems like a story she uses as a metaphor to talk about how Scott Borchetta, a man she loved like a father and was with her growing her musical career for 13 years (ages 15-28) betrayed her and "killed" her by not letting her buy her catalogue and sold it instead to a man Taylor hates and with whom there is very little chance of buying her songs from, all because of money. The lyrics are pretty clear, "I didn't have it in myself to go with grace" about her decision to go public with all of this. "And if I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes, too" about how maybe she lost her old records, but she has killed Scott's reputation and has made him lose all her future music which will be very lucrative. "'Cause I loved you, I swear I loved you, 'Til my dying day" About how he really viewed Scott as a father figure until she saw his true colours when he sold her masters to Scooter, that's the dying day. "Cursing my name, wishing I stayed" Yeah Scott is mad but wishes above all he still had her in his label. "You wear the same jewels that I gave you, As you bury me" The jewels represent her music that she gave him and how he was wearing it as he was at her metaphorical wake. "Cause when I'd fight, you used to tell me I was brave" Taylor had to fight Scott A LOT on many artistic decisions. He even forced her 3rd album to be named something different than what it was in the end (she wanted Enchanted, it was named Speak Now) but on the times Taylor fought and won it turned out to be a huge win. Biggest example of this is Taylor going pop, Scott tried to change her mind in any way he could and when she didn't budge tried to convince her to do a few country songs for 1989, make the CDs pictures more country looking for the old fans, even tried to have 1989 as a finished product labelled as country when we all know it's her most pop album so her country fans thought it was like her old stuff and would buy it. Taylor had to fight him every step of the way and ended up making the most awarded pop album in history. "And I can go anywhere I want, Anywhere I want, just not home" Obviously she is super famous so any label will have her, she can go anywhere except to the label who had her since she was 15 until she was 28, which is home. "And when you can't sleep at night (You hear my stolen lullabies)" Pretty obvious at this point that the stolen lullabies are her stolen songs, right? "You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same" Like yeah he may have managed to make bank selling her songs but now his reputation in the industry is destroyed and his career looking forward isn't looking that great. "You turned into your worst fears" Scott was just starting his label when he signed Taylor, he wasn't super rich or super known back then, she was literally one of the first artists he signed and the only superstar he ever discovered. She MADE him. Pretty sure this refers to fame and money changing Scott into someone who would sell out a friend over a couple of million, since Taylor has said in the past that when she was starting out he helped her and supported her a lot, and with fame and riches he changed and turned into his worst fears, one of those rich executives that care more about money than music. "And you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain, Crossing out the good years" When all this came to light Scott tried to blame Taylor any way he could, and crossed out the good years they shared. So yeah. I don't doubt the story she gave us being true but I am 1000% sure she took this woman ghost's story and used it as a metaphor to talk about her own story

[@LL-oz5zo]

This comment is underrated AF. Thank you

[@saraj86]

Amazing!

[@rina007ist]

I was so frustrated watching them speculate incorrectly! Anyone who knew Taylor from the beginning knew what this song's metaphor means. ❤️

[@xtremeLo]

So what if this is Estee's ghost from "No body, no crime" pphhhssshhh jk

[@pocketfulofposies-]

omfg tysm!!!

[@cj-pq8nx]

This is not for Scotter Braun but for Scott Brochetta's betrayal to Taylor Swift. Because even after all those years they've helped ech other rise, it has always been just a "business" to Scott.

[@ef245]

The only songs involved in the triangle are cardigan, August, and Betty. If you try and connect every song to the triangle you’re gonna get really confused hahah this one is about her previous record label

[@annabelleh8193]

Totally agree with you

[@i4strawberries]

I agree too!

[@arvsteph]

It’s about her previous record label. They try to keep her but she didn’t stay and it brought two people to “kill” her and see her dead. Now it just kills them the same “Stolen lullabies” = her catalogue sold to someone

[@Mary-ks2kc]

This is about her previous record label, she signed with the guy who started it when she was 14, before he had any other artists or even an office. The existence of the label is completely founded on her success (the jewels she gave him). They butted heads throughout the years about how her career should go but ultimately she viewed him as a father figure and basically family. Then when her contract was up, they couldn’t agree to terms because she wanted to buy her previous masters and own future ones and he wouldn’t allow it. (She could go anywhere she wants just not home) Then once she moved on to a different label, he still owned her masters (the stolen lullabies) which he sold along with the whole label which she helped build to Scooter Braun who she hates. Now she is in a battle with Scooter/the label president about use of her masters, they block each other from using her old music (her tears are ricocheting because she’s hurt and betrayed but they’re ending up hurt financially)

[@frommywindow180]

great explanation!

[@DeniseSantos-qe5ee]

You did youre thing, it make Sense

[@florrtagufa7365]

This song speaks about betrayal! Its about her previous label's former owner.

[@mic-shellcrackson3800]

1:17 i love how you described it as like an epiphany cuz Taylor has a song called Epiphany in the same album

[@Kammy-nh8vl]

“my tears ricochet” is about her stolen lullabies and each line was taken from a song from each stolen album!! “i didn’t have it in myself to go with grace”- Red (State of Grace) “you’re the hero flying around saving face”- Speak Now (Superman) “and if I’m dead to you, why are you at the wake?”- rep (LWYMMD/old Taylor is dead) “cursing my name”- Fearless (The Way I Loved You) “wishing I stayed”- 1989 (All You Had to Do Was Stay) “look at how my tears ricochet”- Debut (Teardrops on my Guitar)

[@thejoeyjason]

wow nice analogy

[@renzoreels]

I've been waiting for you guys to react to this one! ✨

[@maddiequo]

Also FYI, the love triangle specifically only pertains to Betty, August and Cardigan. I'm sure it bleeds into other songs - like you could purpose Seven into that narrative, yet Seven seems more auto biographical IMO (as Taylor mentions Pennsylvania in the song, which is where she's from).

[@rim_on7362]

This song gives me goosebumps I just get sad listening to this particular song I think it's from a prospective of someone who died and the other person doesn't give a damn when he/she is alive and now they're in the funeral 😔 And this is what I like from Taylor Swift's story telling mastermind you can interpret it in a lot of ways It can be a part of the love triangle or just some general topic or about her personal life

[@syrinebenzo9094]

the song is talking about the betrayel of her label as she says : " you wear the same jewels as you bury me " meaning the money she made for the label and all the success then he buried her ( betrayed her) and also when she says " when you can't sleep at night you'll hear my stolen lullabies " meaning what you stole from me will haunt you in ur sleep .. And finally " if am on fire you'll be made of ashes too " cause they were working together so if she was over so was he " look at how my tears ricochet" all the hurt and pain the label did to her will affect them just the same ...

[@rndmusrnm2763]

I think of "ricochet" as in bouncing back. Her tears ricocheted back at the other person and now the other person is crying. I do know the song is about Scooter or whatever, but I like the interpretation its about losing a loved one. Either literally, like a family member passed away and now the other person is dealing with it badly-perhaps feeling resentful or maybe regretting not mending the relationship beforehand. I did see someone say it could be seen as a divorce.

[@thebundybear5557]

OMFG man, this woman. Her vocals!!! I'm just, there's no words.

[@777Risa777]

She takes the point of view of the dead person. She uses the metaphor of death/funeral to talk about a broken relationship, and probably the song was inspired by all the things that happened between her and her past record label, specifically Scott Borchetta, who was a sort of mentor/father figure for her until he sold the label and her masters to a man she despises, Scooter Braun.

[@KhushiSharma-iw5pk]

While this song largely refers to her situation with her old music label, the scene is of a ghost who is there at her own wake and she says someone who betrayed her at the wake as well.

[@moonlightkayla4903]

taylor wrote this song all alone and it’s the first song she wrote so to me that means she wrote it without folklore in mind. it’s about her relationship with her former label and the man who runs that label, Scott Borchetta, as others have stated. when she says “you had to kill me but it killed you just the same” i think it means he attempted to harm her career by selling the masters of her music to scooter braun, however that also killed him because it tarnished his reputation since she went public about how Scott Borchetta refused to allow her to buy her masters. They spent many great years together seeing as he signed her at an early age but all those great years are crossed out now by how he backstabbed her.

[@cpxj9175]

this is so sad to read, I feel so bad for what taylor had been gone through

[@GigaChaadam]

I love the lyricism here almost intentionally pertaining to a wedding and a funeral. She opens with ”We gather here“ and usually at the start of a wedding ceremony they say We gather here today. And I feel like that’s Also said at a funeral. She switches it up in the second verse saying we gather stones. And then talks about a diamond ring. Again relating to a wedding it could be a wedding ring. Then later she says ”I swear I loved you, til my dying day“ that seems like she’s talking about the wedding vow Til death do us part. So many wedding correlations.

[@BeardsBrains]

that's a really great catch! didn't notice that!

[@claudiacarmona264]

So this song is my favorite in the album. It reminds me of ghost and that's why the music is so "hauting". Personally, I dated a coworker 2 years ago. We had a good relationship but when we broke up he started to spread rumors about me. He loved to tell people how I was a horrible person. He tried to kill me but it killed him as well. I feel like I will forever haunt his memories and thoughts. I didn't wanted to but thats how it happened.

[@claudiacarmona264]

Also this relationship lasted 4 months. He spread these rumors for more then a year.

[@irisismail1310]

It's track 5. Taylor's most vulnerable. I dont think it's only about James, Betty n the other girl.

[@minxymoo2325]

Taylor said only three songs are about James and Betty (cardigan, august, and betty - ABC). This song is generally believed to be about her former label who sold her masters to a man who didn't help make them despite Taylor begging to own them for years. She switched labels after he told her she could only have her masters if she signed with him for another 5 albums. She could earn her albums back. One new album equals one old album. The problem was Taylor said she had a feeling he would sell the label and her future freedoms could be locked away by the new owner who could prevent her from earning her masters back, so she found a new label. The year after switching labels, her old label was sold just as she predicted. The sad part is Taylor would've paid just as much for her masters as the new owner did, but her label refused to give them to her for whatever reason. The funeral is metaphorical.

[@ricomorla5442]

At the first line when theyre discussing about wedding and gathering and cremation.. You who know the song already: wait for the chorus *(looks up grinning like a devil)*

[@mic-shellcrackson3800]

I believe this song is about her fight with Scooter. The jewels are her albums which she gave Big Machine but she never owned her jewels. When she said "And I can go anywhere I want, Anywhere I want, just not home" means that any company will accept her but she cant go home to "Big Machine" becauae of Scooter tearing her reputation down.

[@zaynmalik80]

Its about her past label. Scooter sold her master's(all of her songs from TS1 to TS7) to a bully. The lyric "youll here my stolen lullabys" always gets me 😭😭😭

[@teeno8976]

TS7 is Lover, right?

[@zaynmalik80]

@@teeno8976 oops my badd

[@SC-gf9vr]

The songs on this album can be interpreted in so many ways and that's what I love about it. Her writing in this album is different but similair to her older albums like her debut album, fearless, Speak Now, red even 1989. But rep and lover were more from her perspective. Like even the song lover. Even cruel summer, even the man. Although great songs people want to connect with their own percpectives.. Not Taylors. And she's done a STELLA job with this album by turning her real life into fictional stories. Creating characters and now everyone can relate. This song for example to me is about her label manager who found her, Scott Borchetta. Its about him and the label she bascially CREATED. That was her "home". When her contract ended, she went to republic records/universal music. And in her caption she wrote it's her new home. She was with big machine since she was 14. She made SCOTTS dream come true by having his own record label. And he made her dreams come true. They seemed like they had such a close family like relationship. Knew her family and all. It was a very public feud between them. And scooter braun, a manager he sold all her music to, plus the label. She sings "and when you can't sleep at night you hear my stolen lullabies".

[@markwalterfuentes9480]

It's about her relationship with her former record label head. :)

[@kageyama9170]

We gather here, we line up Weepin' in a sunlit room, and If I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes too Even on my worst day, did I deserve, babe All the hell you gave me? 'Cause I loved you, I swear I loved you 'Til my dying day I didn't have it in myself to go with grace And you're the hero flying around, saving face And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake? Cursing my name, wishing I stayed Look at how my tears ricochet We gather stones, never knowing what they'll mean Some to throw, some to make a diamond ring You know I didn't want to have to haunt you But what a ghostly scene You wear the same jewels that I gave you As you bury me I didn't have it in myself to go with grace 'Cause when I'd fight, you used to tell me I was brave And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake? Cursing my name, wishing I stayed Look at how my tears ricochet And I can go anywhere I want Anywhere I want, just not home And you can aim for my heart, go for blood But you would still miss me in your bones And I still talk to you (when I'm screaming at the sky) And when you can't sleep at night (you hear my stolen lullabies) I didn't have it in myself to go with grace And so the battleships will sink beneath the waves You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same Cursing my name, wishing I stayed You turned into your worst fears And you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain Crossing out the good years And you're cursing my name, wishing I stayed Look at how my tears ricochet

[@binkbonl]

Inez isn’t the side chick. She is the one who told Betty about James cheating

[@micaeladiana9753]

Lol I was also connecting every song to the love triangle but after listening a few times, I realized that this song is definitely about her feud with her former label. The "stollen lullabies" gave it away. All her work before this album and Lover, her previous one, is no longer hers because she doesn't own them anymore. Great reaction guys 👍🏼

[@shaefergriffin3337]

Beards And Brains? Where are the brains here? I got this on the first listen. Good god. It's all right there.

[@bibiinoliv]

the song has two meanings, one being literal (a woman that's dead speaking to her lover) and the other being her issue with her old record label.

[@pepkoks]

You said it very well! This was a turning point for Taylor

[@arieljeromeseroma1637]

I never clicked so fast. PS: The beard one got 10 points from this.

[@deshaunanderson4135]

This song to me, is about Taylor (being the ghost) and witnessing the person who tormented her life (whether it be a lover or the label who stole everything from her) and watching them cry over her and cure about the place wishing she had stayed despite all the hurt they caused her- maybe even possibly being the cause of her death. That's the brilliance of this record. Taylor telling folk tales such as a ghost showing up at their own funeral and flipping the narrative to be a song about her own battle with her ex-label and a third meaning of a romance gone terribly wrong and watching the lover that scorned you cry at your funeral.

[@MsSera21]

She’s said she was thinking about a ghost doing a haunting when she wrote this song. I also think you can read her relationship with Scott Borchetta into it. But there are no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ interpretations of music imo, it’s all about what it means to you personally

[@dougcallaghan6075]

"We gather (mile)stones, never knowing what they mean. Some to throw (conflict), some to make a diamond ring." RIAA diamond certification - 10 million units sold.

[@disgaeajean13]

This is a song for her old record label's owner. Her stolen lullabies refer to her old records. He sold them to a douchebag. She was against that and he knew. Her fans echo her tears for the loss of her old catalogues.

[@kevingitrianda7075]

Always excited to see your interpretation towards Taylor's lyric

[@ellu23]

Actually guys every album.. Has always something about Taylor real life...moments.. Here her master r sell to her enemy scooter braun.. Without her permission. This is about that.... There is one line.. When u can't sleep at night.. You heared my stolen lullaby.. 🙏..u should check out her personal life.. Issues to more understand an album.. Any album.. Mad women is second part of this.. 👆🏻

[@jasminewinters6533]

When I think of this song, I think of her relationship with her old record executives and the fallout she had with Scott Borchetta, Scooter Braun, and Big Machine.I feel that is more about her business relationships rather than romance. Like her talking about them wearing the same jewels that she provided by all the hits she gave them, while they “bury her” or throw her name in the mud or when she says “if I’m dead to you why are you at the wake! Cursing my name, wishing I stayed” could mean how they constantly still talked about her after she chose not to be with them anymore and how they probably wish she would have stayed.

[@yunabean]

“1 for me, 0 for you” bro just listen to the song 😩

[@renzoreels]

This song is about those robbers (Scooter and Scott) who stole her music catalog. 😣

[@colleenwalsh7577]

She is singing to Scott Borchetta (the owner of her previous label, Big Machine Records)

[@candicee092]

She is comparing the end of a relationship ( romantic, platonic, ect..) to a death. In a broad sense it's a romantic relationship, a marriage, ending. In a much more personal sense it's about her relationship with Scott. Her lyrics usually have double meanings. It's what makes them so great.

[@mountainrock7682]

Dude you always get it right.

[@marabu_00]

You guys are so cute with all the scenarios! 😁 We promise this makes sense once you know the backstory explained in the below comments regarding Taylor leaving her former label.

[@VaneLuhning]

My interpretation of this song is simple: it's a toxic relationship. But not necessarily a romantic one. Is someone who tried to kill her reputation (She already talked about killing reputations in the REPUTATION album.). So someone is cursing her name, talking shit about her, trying to bury her in the music industry. So the burying part is totally a metaphor. The love triangle is: Betty, Cardigan and August. So she's not interpreting a character now, she's being herself. What happened recently in her life: Scooter Braun bought her masters, tried to steal her "lullabies". He now, owns the publicity and marketing of her older songs, so she cannot release anything on Netflix or KZbin that has any of her older songs before "LOVER". But, even tho he tried to kill her, it killed them just the same. Because, since she opened up and tossed them into the media eyes, there's a sabotage going on. So, trying to kill her rep, they killed their rep, too.

[@AM-hm3lw]

A lot of her fans say it’s about her former label/her former manager (?) Scott Borchetta. He betrayed her by selling her masters to Scooter Braun behind her back. So this song is about their fallout.

[@the350swifties]

This is about Scott Borchetta from her label since she was 15 sold her music catalog to Scooter Braun who pushed Kanye to go after her

[@teyas3459]

Best song everrrrrr ❤❤❤❤❤

[@georgeeid7218]

This song is written about her old record label

[@jeffreywitkowski526]

Guys your deep in the forest and getting lost, This is about Taylor and being betrayed by someone she thought considered her the daughter he never had. I think the battleships sinking beneath the waves represent her albums (battleships being big valuable assets). He would not sell them to her and now she has plans to re-record new versions of them so she can essentially own them herself. If she does that, it will devalue the worth of those original albums. Her fans will listen to and buy the new recordings owned by Taylor. And the old masters will be worth much less. So Taylor will be the winner in the end.

I think she's talking from a dead guy's perspective, and the tears he cried because of the girl are hurting her now that he's gone. (Btw, it was an abusive relationship) Also, there's an entirely other meaning to that song that interpretes it as something she (as Taylor) sings to her former label (which ended in bad blood)

[@lalolapolo]

yay new folklore reaction :)

[@aviationgirl2013]

Have you guys listened to or reacted to Look What You Made Me Do? I have a theory that this song is the “dead/old Taylor” speaking to the present Taylor.

😁u should research about the Scott broschetta(?) owner of her former and first record label, Big Machine... he sold the catalogue of her song masters to Scooter Braun.

[@philawsophy3197]

I think this album doesn’t have to be about what it really is but it’s how you interpret it. This album is called folklore and folklore is basically storytelling. It doesn’t necessarily represent the songwriter’s perspective?

[@lalolapolo]

@@philawsophy3197 true. i listened to it first without really relating it to the record label. i had a diff interpretation then. and it's also cool how this can also relate to the record label

There are no other songs about the love triangle and a lot of these songs aren’t about romance lol.

He killed her but it killed him just tge same. That's thwle whole point of the song and i was waiting so hard for y'all to just get to that line and it took y'all 13 minutes 😭😭

[@xmtc6101]

React to Taylor’s Full Lover Album pleaseeee, I love watching you guys 🤗

[@exasperatedkai]

Sometimes y'all just think too much when it's not that deep. Y'all think about so much that y'all miss the actual point of the songs😂 and don't realize what happens until the end of the song

[@annabelleh8193]

Wow you guys are way off but it’s cool to watch you try it’s about Scott and her old label stealing her music from her

[@-chenlanying5818]

This has nothing to do with James, August, Betty

[@maroonscarlet]

guys react to her 1989, reputation and lover albums pleaseeeee

[@srishtiahuja3471]

inez is not the sidechick pleaseee people unlearn that

[@nilssjoberg5557]

this song isn’t even about a romantic relationship. a lot of people have already said it but lemme just say it, it’s abut her former record label’s CEO who sold her music catalog to someone she don’t fuck with.

Who’s James? 😂
