TAYLOR SWIFT - cardigan (2020)

— folklore, part ii

folklore feels like you just found an old collection of letters tied up with ribbon, in a box in someone’s attic and you wipe off the dust and sit down right there to carefully flip through them and you get a glimpse into the world of whoever wrote them

THIS

I’m having a break down over The Last Great American Dynasty!!! Taylor tells the story of Rebekah Harkness and all the trouble she caused in Watch Hill Rhode Island with her insane parties, feuds with neighbors and her general debauchery that was the talk of the town. And then she died and Holiday House sat quietly for 50 years, “free of women with madness, their men and bad habits” AND THEN Taylor has the audacity to say “And then it was bought by me // I had a marvelous time ruining everything” because Taylor was know for her crazy parties there and her “men and bad habits” and we know there were tabloids publishing stories of her fighting with people in town. I REALLY underestimated this song upon first listen. Holy SHIT.

i can’t wait until someone smarter than me explains the character arcs and recurring themes in Folklore (2020) to me

the fact that “the 1” is track 1 and “seven” is track 7

“There goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen, she had a marvelous time ruining everything” is the energy I want for the rest of my life

MAD WOMAN IS THE FEMINIST ANTHEM WE DESERVE IN 2020
