Trying to Understand *FOLKLORE* by TAYLOR SWIFT

[@majafolklore]

your channel really confirms my theory that everyone would love taylor swift if they just gave her a chance

[@prestonwright9697]

LITERALLY RIGHT

[@jasonpaulkim]

i kinda agree like if they dont like her they could at least see the hype

[@doom_and_tea]

Omg ikr

[@everex1239]

Just don’t start them off with something like shake it off and me or something really good like all too well (10 min)

[@javitheswiftie]

I also thought that I’d never be able to like any “boring” song from folklore, and now august is my fav Taylor swift song of all time… the albums grown on me a LOT

[@jasonpaulkim]

august slaps bro

[@javitheswiftie]

@@jasonpaulkim omg it really does, and especially after seeing the august anamatic it’s just such a sad banger 😭

[@livelifeonline4634]

THANK YOU IVE BEEN SAYING AUGUST IS HER BEST SONG

[@blaqkswan]

omg back when it came out i wasn't a swiftie yet and i remember listening to it because everyone was talking about how good it was yet i got so bored and i ended up just skimming through the rest of it but then a year later i heard my tears ricochet on tiktok and i was like "omg this is so beautiful" and decided to give the album another chance and listen to it fully again and now i'm a swiftie and folklore is my favorite taylor swift album and one of my favorite albums of all time 😭

[@tammycombs167]

Same. August and Tolerate it form Evermore are now part of my top ten Taylor songs.

[@amberpowell8283]

I love how august so beautifully expresses being “the other woman” and how being her doesn’t mean you just have some sick vendetta against these people. It can truly just be about falling in love with someone who was never yours. As an victim of unrequited love I think that not having someone love you back sucks but having someone love you back but then ultimately decide someone else is better hurts even more

[@jasonpaulkim]

it's a banger 😪

[@kateayotte8109]

Folklore is what made me a Swiftie. This is really where her songwriting becomes so mature and intense. And Mirrorball is I think one of her most honest and vulnerable songs. Taylor shows us every version of ourselves from happy in new love, to broken hearted to nostalgic of our simple childhood to dancing out with your friends. She is always there for us when we need her. Giving it her all in her highest heels 👠. Thanks for giving this another couple listens!

[@jasonpaulkim]

i see lol interesting take

[@sophia.e.cooper]

Folklore is my favorite album ever. It is so pretty and the attention to detail is so nice. (Also totally not jealous that u might be going to the eras tour😖)

[@jasonpaulkim]

agreed and don't be jealous lol it's a very strong might

[@kellymiley6493]

2020 was one of the worst years in modern human history and Folklore was genuinely one of the only things that saved it. I know you didn't start listening to Taylor Swift until recently but I do think the context of this album is important in why it's so beloved by the fans. Taylor had just come out with Lover the year before and was supposed to be doing Loverfest in 2020. She was only able to perform songs from Lover a handful of times live before the pandemic shut down everything, and that was a huge disappointment. Then for months the world obviously got DARK and we were looking to literally anything for good news. Folklore was announced the afternoon before it was released that midnight. I remember seeing the post at work, me and my co-workers sitting outside (good ventilation), sitting feet apart from each other (social distancing) while we ate our lunches. We were back "in society" again after worldwide quarantine but things weren't better, you know? Things were just a different kind of bad because now the world was open again and we were all scared to actually BE out. Like people were DYING from this shit but I guess I have to go to work now? I was definitely scared, my co-workers were scared. So imagine seeing Taylor fucking Swift saying that she had a WHOLE NEW SURPRISE ALBUM, dropping THAT NIGHT. I genuinely screamed from excitement sitting there with my peanut butter sandwich, six feet from my co-workers. It'sIt's the sort of good news everyone was DESPERATE for. And the album was AMAZING. Different than anything Taylor had done before: tonally, lyrically, sonically, ALL of it. The way it dropped, the time in history which it dropped, and how NEW it all was was a surefire recipe to make it stand out in Taylor's repertoire and make it stand out as something special. I genuinely think that if Taylor had dropped a Folklore at any other time in her career it wouldn't have worked as well (it probably would have been much more divisive and heavily critiqued tbh). But Folklore was only made BECAUSE the pandemic happened, because Taylor had to put her life on pause like the rest of us, wallow in grief over the future she was supposed to have being torn away from her, wallow in the darkness that the whole world was feeling in that time, and then decide to create something to help her cope with it, something that maybe made the world a little brighter. So yeah, when people got on you for not giving Folklore a fair shake before, I think a lot of that had a lot to do with how special that album was to so many people. It was one of those lightning-in-a-bottle art pieces that really gave people a lot of happiness in a collectively really dark time.

[@jasonpaulkim]

yea i totally get tht lmao it's a grower and very representative of the time it came out

[@vix2enbitchin]

folklore was the album that really got me into taylor's music, before, her music was jumping around at a friend's house to 22, but after folklore, i was really able to connect emotionally with her music through her lyrics and storytelling.

[@jasonpaulkim]

totally makes sense thts awesome man

[@wowyzowy1895]

This is my favorite album by her. She really let her emotions that she felt from getting her first 6 albums being stolen from her inspire her to write about breakups, divorce, being cheated on, wanting to commit suicide, and being involved in toxic relationships. It's crazy bc even tho the songs on the album have nothing to do with her life except for maybe a few there and then, we can all still relate to the songs.

[@graceful1537]

listening to this album is like listening to a museum full of paintings. it’s confusing but beautiful. it’s an experience. and the fact that taylor gave us this masterpiece during the pandemic out of boredom is just amazing. the complex stories she made, the ‘Betty’ and ‘August’ characters inspired by Ryan Reynolds’s children- like every detail, every specific action- just mwah. and it’s not just the words, the way taylor delivers the lines… it’s like she’s reading straight from a storybook in a certain melody. like anyone else who covers Taylor’s songs can’t truly capture the exact same essence as it emits through taylor’s original voice. many other singers focus more on vocal techniques or whatever- Taylor’s vocals are more story-esque because of her “punchy” enunciation. you can tell what words she’s saying pretty easily most of the time, and her singing voice sounds exactly like how she speaks regularly. she’s so poetic and intellectual- and knows how to vocalize the tone of each song. And yeah I know it takes time to learn Taylor’s vocal abilities and being able to appreciate her skills but even if it’s not easy to pinpoint her vocal strengths you can still experience her talent in telling those stories while acknowledging her writing talents as well ❤ and personally my favorite song is my tears ricochet. idk that chord progression just haunts me in my sweetest dreams. it just hits different for me :)

[@jasonpaulkim]

lol it's def rlly good

[@williamehlers5158]

In my opinion all of T-Swift’s best albums are a slow burn. When I first listened to Folklore and Evermore, I wasn’t too impressed. But because it’s T-Swift, I kept listening. And the more I listened the more and more they grew on me. Same can be said with Midnights.

[@tay_rizul]

But they are stayers, and she has an album for all your moods so once you fall down the Taylor swift rabbit hole, you’re not escaping.

[@starisrandom2016]

​@@tay_rizul The Taylor Swift rabbit hole is a very real phenomenon that I was hoping would be a phase. Now I've just accepted that I'll keep on going down further and further until I get bored... Which is not happening because she just keeps on releasing new bangers DAMN IT! xD

[@jasonpaulkim]

i def agree but i will say red was an instant slapper for me

[@jasonpaulkim]

lmao

[@gusty17]

Folklore surprisingly makes so much sense for Taylor's discography!! Said she started her carrer imagining and penning up love stories, I def think it was long due and she SHINES with it. Fascinating she got album of the year TWICE for her imagination and storytelling (Fearless, Folklore)

[@jasonpaulkim]

it's a change tht feels necessary

[@elizabethbej5971]

mirrorball is taylor speaking to the FANS and how she’ll always be here for us. it’s not about a boy😭

[@jasonpaulkim]

it can have multiple meanings i think it's cool tht she wrote it abt swifties but how could i relate to smth like tht lol i like my explanation better personally

[@leylimammadova7514]

​@@jasonpaulkim but then how do you interpret the bridge? "And they called off the circus, burned the disco down, when they sent home the horses and the rodeo clowns"? This only makes sense to me as her performances being cancelled due to lockdown.

My favorite song from folklore is probably the last great american dynasty, the storytelling is fantastic in that one. The bridge?! She died a dog green! The perspective-switch at the end is ofc my favorite part, how she uses the refrain in a different way to tell her side of the story. Anyway I’ve been really enjoying this series on your channel!

I never listened to folklore until just recently a few months ago because it tbh just went under the radar for me. Then when I finally sat down to listen to it, it's my fav album of hers now! It's such a mood and I love the atmosphere of it. The beautiful storytelling and amazing production just makes this album incredible. And I just wanna give love to illicit affairs over here, I feel like I don't see a lot of people showing it love often, but when that bridge comes on omg!! Also, I love your videos so much!

[@jasonpaulkim]

yeah man i get tht for sure but it's so worth it!!

[@TechyonChronosx]

To add more perspective, the POVs of those three songs are also through different lens of time. For instance, in Betty the lyrics is simplistic, straight-forwarded as it's coming from James when he was young and therefore explains the simplicity of the vocabulary choices and tone.

[@jasonpaulkim]

ig tht makes sense

[@itstvoicrush5610]

Also, a lot in this album can be interpreted as her telling us about the painful process of losing her own music. Like I think that in 'my tears ricochet' the whole first verse is about that, it’s like she’s literally talking to Scooter. Some of the songs are about pandemic (epiphany), some are about her childhood (seven), others like invisible string, illicit affairs or peace are about her relationship with Joe. I personally adore folklore and I feel like it’s another affirmation that she’s a lyrical genius. Now songs like cardigan, peace, august or seven are one of my favorites among Taylor’s whole discography!

I love folkore with a passion. I love the triangle of stories. She is awesome. She should do something like this in the future again. if she is up for it. It is hard for female artisits because they constanly have to change their style in every album

[@Williamzlmhx-do8rz]

seven is the best song in folklore, the piano at the end is perfect! You should pay attention to that 😢

folklore made me a swiftie. I want to say im extremely depressed and love slow and meaningful music. My swiftie friends tried for like 4 years to turned me into a swiftie. But it never worked because they always showed me the pop songs. I get its not everyones jam, but its really important and impactful for me. I love sad and intresting music. It’s definetly an album you need to calm down and understand more in depth. Anyway sorry for the rant lol
