Prior to this album coming out, I was a very casually Taylor Swift listener. I knew most of the words to her singles and I enjoyed her “1989” album. But I wasn’t really a fan. That is, until this album was released. Exactly 3 days prior to the release of this album, my ex had broken up w me and I was absolutely distraught. Then I remember being on Twitter when she posted that she would be releasing a surprise album later at midnight. So I thought I’d give it a try…imagine my surprise when I clicked play on folklore and the first lyrics I hear are “I’m doing good, I’m on some new shit” I was hooked and it was exactly what I needed in that moment. Long story short, I had that album on repeat for months and I fell in love w it. I studied English in school and I have a huge affinity for any type of poetry; whether it’s literary or musical. Always have. So I was absolutely blown away by Taylor’s pen on Folklore and Evermore. It’s actually funny because, months later in December I was struggling with depression and riddled w feelings I couldn’t explain. Then Taylor released Evermore. I was sobbing inconsolably in my room when I heard the news and that album was exactly what I needed at the time. Evermore is an album about endings and imitates the colder weather of Fall and Winter. Folklore does the exact opposite for Summer and Spring. And it’s prevalent in her storytelling.

And how Taylor said Aaron Dessner from The National is her soulmate collaborator
@victoriarbis
Жыл бұрын
Justin Vernonn (amazing voice) is one of the members (and singer) of the group Bon Iver. He is also a very good friend of one of this album producers and member of The National (ft on Evermore), Aaron Dessner. Both groups are from the indie scene (and Taylor has been a big fan of them forever). Aaron Dessner co-produces this record and Evermore (and plays, among others). The deep voice you listened in Evermore is from The National's singer (Matt Berninger), they just released new album. The Last Great American Dinasty is based on real events: the life of Rebecca Harkenss (yes, she was a ballet mecenas and Picasso's friend and married the heir of a petrol empire) and yes, TS bought that house long ago. Track 5 sounds like a regular break-up and anyone can relate, but any swiftie would find in its lyrics tons of references (to a song from each album that her old company sold and she is now re-recording to own, for example) that make clear that she is talking to Borchetta, the guy who signed her at 14-15 (she already walk out of another deal because she wanted to record at that moment, not later). Track 13 can be listened as pandemic related, but is dedicated to his grandfather (who was send to war quite young and never talked about it). Both albums are not only an absolute delight instrumentaly and vocally, but quite a songwriting flexing. Great reaction (plus your father is lovely). I would recomend the deluxe tracks on both albums: The Lakes (gorgeous) and Right where you left me. ;-)

Betty is sung from the perspective of James who cheated on Betty. Peace is about not being able to protect the person she loves from all the noise and scrutiny that comes with her celebrity. Is what she brings to the relationship enough to make it worth putting up with everything she can’t control. The producer, Aaron Dessner said he relates to the song because he suffers from Depression and so his life has ups and downs he can’t control. He says his Depression makes him a hard person to be married to.

@@putyouonthat is how Aaron relates to the song. But Taylor wrote it. She wrote it to reflect her life which is very big & unmanageable. There is always some tabloid each day, she can’t go anywhere without bodyguards, she has stalkers & crazed people to break into her houses or show up armed, she travels in bullet proof vehicles in the US, there is always some paparazzi with a telephoto lens trying to capture a photo of her, she has 100’s of people camped outside her NYC apartment. This isn’t the level of fame she ever thought would happen & not what a partner can easily handle. So. She can never give someone peace because that is what comes with being in her life. And, if you want a quiet life with family, she may not be able to provide that. People hacked into her boyfriends family’s accounts, took video of a funeral she attended of her boyfriend’s uncle & put it on TikTok, so the rain will always come when standing with her. She can give a lot, but the life will never be peaceful. So is that a deal someone is willing to take? Will it be enough if I can never give you peace.

Essentially both Taylor and Rebekah are the women who lived in the big house on the hill that people could gossip about.

It's not a coincidence that Taylor is breaking records on every level, as a musical artist, as a female artist, as a composer, as a lyricist...the list just goes on.

I think this album and evermore separated her from other general pop artists from her era. Folklore & Evermore were so staunchly different from anything she had ever done but it released at the perfect time and hit super hard for me.

Great reaction! If you like this and are looking for a similar Taylor Swift Album, you should react to Evermore next. Taylor described Evermore as Folklore’s ‘sister’ album, and it was only released like 5 months after Folklore in December 2020 and was another album of the year nomination at the Grammys. As I think you realised, the songs on Folklore are a mixture of fiction and non-fiction, and a number of the songs are made up stories, while others are from Taylor’s perspective. This is the same for the songs on Evermore.

To answer your question, the album was home-made in quarantine, she wanted to create histories and make music, so they built a studio in her house and recorded every track on the album, it took like a month or two, the album was released 2020 at the summer

Just a clarification, not all the recording was home-made, she did go to Matt's studio (from the band The National) but in general, the album was worked on via online.

@@C-Iris I don’t think she went to Matt’s studio. She recorded it all at her studio she built in her house. The recordings were sent to either Jack Antonoff’s electric lady studio or Aaron Dessner’s Long Pond Studio. She had never been in the same room with either of them for the album until over a month AFTER folklore was released. Matt wasn’t involved with folklore. He sings on one song from evermore, but he did not write it or produce it. To my knowledge she has never recorded or produced anything from a studio owned by Matt.

I think i just discovered a gem in this reaction channel. I like how you two disect the lyrics and production at the same time. You should definitely read the Genius Song Meaning after to get the context. I also like how you're honest if you don't like a song that much, not like other reactions where they're just praising everything for views.

i HIGHLY recommend watching the long pond sessions for folklore, she performs the songs live (with the two producers she worked with, aaron dessner and jack antonoff) and talks about each song before. it's so interesting hearing how she wrote them or what she was thinking about when she did. i balled my eyes out when i first heard 'epipheny' and as someone who has overcome addiction issues, 'this is me trying' made me feel seen in a way no other song has. taylor is such an amazing artist.

Beautiful reaction video! My tears ricochet is an incredible lament of her loss of her albums to scooter braun. The chorus references each of her albums (her jewels) that scott Borchetta sold to scooter without giving her the option to buy. “You’ll hear my stolen lullabies” is also a strong clue to support this interpretation. Both Folklore and Evermore have songs that explore her pain at this loss

So “cardigan”, “August”, and “Betty” are a trilogy told through three different perspectives. Chronologically: “August” is told through the eyes of “the other woman” who meets “James” over the summer and for her, she really liked James but she had to be “cool” about it and not tell James everything about how much she liked him, maybe even loved him because he’d be leaving at the end of August. For James, it was a casual fling to pass the time not only because it was summer but because he was already in a relationship with “Betty”. “Betty” is told through the eyes of “James”. August is over and James and Betty are back in school and the school gossip, Inez tells Betty all about James and the other girl from August. Betty breaks up with James, he tries to win her back by telling her it was a mistake that didn’t mean anything to him and he loves her. “Cardigan” is told through the eyes of Betty. The song is Betty reflecting on everything that happened. James broke her heart and won her back. She felt like an old favorite cardigan; someone says that you’re their favorite, only to keep you under the bed while they enjoy a new and different cardigan but eventually that new one shrinks, unravels, and the color fades. Then they go back to the favorite cardigan- it has that soft feel, it’s warm, it smells familiar, it goes with everything, and you can rely on it. Betty is happy that she and James were able to work through things but he definitely put her through hell.

Thank you for giving it an honest and unexaggerated listen. Her talent speaks volumes and I wish I could experience folklore again for the first time. Such a serendipitous album at the height of Covid. Hope you might consider Midnights too in the future!

The Last Great American Dynasty is about a real woman named Rebekah Harkness who married into an oil moguls family - she was a socialite who was looked down upon by many in society who had already been established for many generations, she and her husband built a house on Rhode Island that Taylor eventually bought and when Taylor learned more about her life she saw many parallels between them! :)

Taylor typically posts a “prologue” when she releases each album. It’s usually a pretty big written paragraph that gives detail into the background and theme of the album and usually has some song explanations as well. If you two react to anymore of her albums I’d suggest reading those beforehand! I’m sure if you google “(album name) prologue” it’ll come up. This was a great reaction! Such a great album to start out with for Taylor

Haha, I really loved you giving her a chance. I’m in my 50’s and found Taylor during the pandemic with this album. I’ve been a fan since. 4.5 months After folklore, still in pandemic, she released the sister album to folklore called evermore. They go together. Same musical vein but different thematically and some musically. Folklore is about conflict resolutions, confessions, trying to work through something. Evermore is s bit more bright but at the same sad and is about endings, the way relationships loves friendships etc end. It is same similar production, storytelling I think is better. But folklore is the better album, in general, evermore had better songs. It’s hard to explain. Her latest album (album 10) Midnights was released in October. It’s moved into a new area, synth pop electro pop. She’s made 3 pop albums, not including Midnights, but each have a completely different sound vibe and sub-genre. Midnights sounds differently than her other pop albums & explores deep into her inner thoughts, fears that have kept her up at night. You need to do the Deluxe edition, called Midnights (3am edition). Midnights was released at Midnight. As a secret surprise, 3 hours later at 3 am, she released 7 additional songs as a deluxe edition, that’s why they are called the 3 am Edition, making a total of 20 tracks.
