I can't wrap around what's better, the haunting my tears ricochet, the harmonious perfection of exile, the bridges of bridges of invisible string or the picture perfect symbolism of epiphany, I can't explain the others cuz I'm lazy
I’m kinda an old (42) hermit and hadn’t listened to Taylor much since my first marriage in the late 00s - ex-wife loved her music. Fast forward 15 years & I work as an editor at a sports & entertainment website that frequently hypes T. Swift’s NFL appearances. After checking those articles for grammar errors, I became curious about her latest sound. As a word nerd, all I can say is that Taylor’s newest lyrics are elixir on my days off when my eyes literally cannot read another word. That former 15-year-old I remember singing about Tim McGraw truly has probably become the best female artist ever. Excellent stuff. 👍
Ahhhhh Awwwwwe Gosh....this is a beautiful thought. A butterfly flying light-hearted feeling...flutter flutter...happy smiles all day. 🌬️🦄 ⛄ 🌾🌾🌼🌼🌼🌻🌻🌻🌾🌾 🌾🌾🌼🌼🌼🌻🌻🌻🌾🌾
Not biased at all but for me she's the Most Versatile Artist out there like from Country, Country-Pop, Pure Pop now Alternative/Indie🥳 And every genre suits her tbh
I just thought the same thing. I graduated in 1989, the year Taylor was born, and she has finally hit the sweet spot for me to really identify with her lyrics. I've always enjoyed her and thought she was talented, but she has now entered another realm with this album. I'm so impressed...what a lyricist she is.
Okay then, would the "Gold Thread" be Lover? Since there's songs like "Daylight" on it and it generally feels very 'golden' so to speak. "One single thread of gold tied me to you" and if I remember correctly, Lover was all about how love takes time and patience and work. I think "Wool" would be Folklore and Evermore, since it's "wool to brave the season". The Pandemic has been rough on everyone, so I'd assume that's the season we needed to brave. I think that "Barbed Wire" sounds like Reputation to me. "Something wrapped all over my past mistakes in barbed wire" makes me think of songs like "Dancing With Our Hands Tied" or "Getaway Car". I'm not sure about "Chains" though, I only started paying attention to Taylor's music after Lover came out and my friends were obsessed with it and I only know Reputation because of the Stadium Tour on Netlix. It is "chains around my demons" though, so, hope that helps.
Think about it: the person who you'll fall in love with (if you haven't found them already) is out there somewhere, maybe imagining a future with someone like you. And one day your paths will cross and everything will fall into place
the word 'folklore' means stories and memories passed down by mouth. i think this album is not at all about one person like her albums usually are. this album has songs about her current boyfriend, old boyfriends, current friends, old friends, lots of memories from her childhood, more recent memories, songs about people/events that never happened, and some songs about herself. it's her memories, her life, her stories, her love, her dreams, and it's folklore. she's passing down her memories to us so they can live on, or be put to rest. the album is called folklore because every song is quite literally folklore.
True, but I really think some of the songs are stories of characters she made up and is bringing them to life through her music, which I think is so beautiful
FROM JANE EYRE: “I have a strange feeling with regard to you. As if I had a STRING somewhere under my left ribs, tightly knotted to a similar string in you.”
Discovering this song led me to binge folklore and then the rest of Taylor's albums. I'm a full swiftie now so I guess you could say that Invisible String was the invisible string that tied me to Taylor Swift :)
Deadass im a whole swifty now. Folklore really changed my opinion of her. Just got done listening to every single album shes made. Folklore still my favorite. The atmosphere she creates is crazy. I just picture myself in a small town at night sitting in the woods on some creepy shit. I love ot
Even though I'm a hopeless romantic, this song makes me feel like I'll meet somebody someday. I'm just not seeing the clues or strings that are tying me to that person
That's because she has such a limited vocal range (and that's okay - a lot of great singers only have slightly wider ranges than her, Karen Carpenter and Dusty Springfield for example), she just hammers the melodies on the same clusters of notes and it is very somnambulistic. The producers either bring in back up singers or do some pitch correction to add a little variation now and then.
"A string that pulled me, out of all the wrong arms" "something wrapped up all of my past mistakes in barbed wire" "chains around my demons, wool to brave the seasons" "one single thread of gold tied me to you" PERFECTION. Pure, brilliant, delicate, soul-kissed perfection.
I'm 54 yrs old and not a Swiftie (my 18 y.o. daughter is). But this song just blew me away. It's perfection. I do like her Folklore and Evermore albums.
I have noticed that the only constant thing throughout the song are the strings; they never stop playing. So, it is no longer an _invisible string_ because it becomes tangible when she finally discovers who she was tied to.
@@sicataljames3676 I thought it was my imagination or the clouds in the background making that. I wasn't looking at it closely, but just how I normally would to all videos.
I love how she adds the lyric "bad was the blood of the song in the cab on your first trip to L.A." as a little reference to bad blood. It's just so romantic how she adds in all these little lyrics really centering the song around them being connected from the start. And don't even get me started on how sweet her voice is in this song.
This song reminds me of a quote from Jane Eyre: “I have a strange feeling with regard to you. As if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly knotted to a similar string in you. And if you were to leave I'm afraid that cord of communion would snap. And I have a notion that I'd take to bleeding inwardly. As for you, you'd forget me.”
"Bad was the blood of the song in the cab on your first trip to LA" why isn't anybody talking about this line??? She's clearly saying that Joe heard Bad Blood on a cab when he was at LA for the first time and for some reason I think this is the coolest thing ever!!!
'invisible string' is gorgeous, definitely going to be an on repeat for me. The lyrics is incredible and full of feelings. The metaphors are very meaningful. Makes you remember the song "Red' with the colors mentioned on this song.
I think she meant the "red string of faith" from japanese folklore where two people that are connected with an invisible red string is destined for each other
Folklore is a masterpiece that you can listen to in any season, but it just feels more special when it's raining outside and you're playing this album while slowly sipping hot cocoa beside your window, pondering about what has been and what could be. Happy anniversary to Grammy 2020's Album of the Year, and actually one of the best albums of all time.
i hope my future wife is listening to this song as well so that when we meet we could say taylor swift was the invisible string tying us to each other xx
i was talking to this boy last year who's really into music with deep imagery, i told him im a huge taylor swift fan and he should listen to folklore (her latest album then) because i bet he would love it. he said he'd give it a try then the following night while we were talking about his family he randomly shared that he finished listening to the album and invisible string is his favorite out of all. mine was mirrorball. we're not talking anymore but every time this song plays he would cross my mind. he was a really nice guy, maybe if i wasn't so complicated we could be something more.
"maybe if i wasn't so complicated, we could be something more" though this line is highly relatable and is the reason why i ruin things for myself, you should know there exists someone out there who'd take you "out of all the wrong arms". It's mostly the wrong people and circumstances that make us believe that something must be wrong with us even though we try, try and try. If anything I could take away from these albums and especially this song is that I'll find "my one" too. Maybe tomorrow, maybe when I'm 30. The invisible string is here and that's cool with me. Up until then, exhaling it all.
The line "Teal was the color of your shirt, when you were sixteen at the yogurt shop, you used to work at to make a little money" is about Taylor’s boyfriend Joe Alwyn and his old part-time job in London where he worked at 'Snogs Frozen Yogurt" Additionally, all employees wear the company’s staple teal uniforms. -Genius
@@luchethegreat3482 it's still genius, the way she weaves her experiences into lyrics. It's no easy feat, and whether or not the above comment is mentioning the website 'Genius', she's definitely a genius.
But relationships can end and still have been incredible experiences that changed your life forever and indelibly changed you for the better. Both of these things be true. Their love may be done but that doesn’t mean that they still aren’t tied together forever. People may go but their love and the memories stay. I am in my late 30s btw so I may have a more mature outlook on this, I don’t know. I still have a lot of love for (most) of my exes and what they brought to my life during the time they were in it as a lover.
Guys " invisible string" is litterally the most used guitar string in this song ( the last guitar string is almost invisible) Just genius💜 Also the song sounds like a calm version of Red 😍💜💜
And also the line ''Time, wondrous time, gave me the blues and then purple pink skies. And it's cool, baby with me' This line pops up in my head out of nowhere most of the times and it's the main reason why i come back to this song every time. 'Cause i never go out of Style.
i think the reason why i've been so obsessed with taylor for the last 11 years is because she writes what i think. not in the way of "this song is a page ripped from my diary" way, but for example in the reputation prologue where she talked about how we only know the part of people they choose to let us see. it's something that i had constantly thought about since 2016 when snapgate went down. how can we hate celebrities if we only know the side they've allowed us to see? sometimes it's a character they're playing, sometimes its a toned down version of themselves or a caricature version of themselves. and with this song, ive always thought about the concept of being tied in someway to the person you're supposed to end up with. everything that you do, everyone that you date, their choices, and your choices lead you to each other because there's something there pulling you together. an invisible string.
yes! i think there are people we’re destined to meet. platonic soulmates, romantic ones, whoever. just people were meant to create memories with, whether they stay in our lives forever or not.
i just can't stop wondering why nobody in the comments is referring to the lines- "time, wondrous time, gave me the blues and the purple-pink skies".... like her time with joe gave her lover.... i can't be the only one, right?
Does anyone else listen to “Delicate”, “Lover” and “Invisible String” in this order as a trilogy? “Invisible String” is like a conclusion to the story in retrospect. ☺️
Just think about it: “Bad was the blood of the song in the cab on your first trip to LA” - Joe listened to Bad blood during his first trip to LA “Bold was the waitress on our three year trip getting lunch down by the Lakes, she said I looked like an American singer” - some waitress didn’t recognize her on their 3rd anniversary when they were at the Lakes (the Lakes from the last song) And here we have a song. This woman can literally write a whole story thinking about a leaf falling from the tree or cats’ hair on her couch. Just give her one word and she’ll make a story. Her imagination is brilliant
In Mine, Taylor imagines her dream guy "working part time waiting tables" and in Invisible String, we find out he worked at a yoghurt shop when he was 16....around the same time she wrote Mine. How cool?!
In last kiss she says about Joe Jonas "your name forever the name on my lips" and how convenient is that now she's in a relationship with a guy named Joe
This song is just soooooo delicate ! (no play on words 💖) "Isn't it just so pretty to think, all along there was some invisible string, tying you to me" 🎶🎶🎶
_such a romantic song of fitting your other puzzle piece with your other true love, they’re like a hidden treasure lost in plain sight but somehow found its way to you because of your persistence belief in love. like a boy that yearns to catch a butterfly desperately, he learned patience, humbleness and what it means to be considerate so one day the butterfly landed right in front of his doorsteps._
Folklore clearly has a strength in lyrical work that expresses her storytelling skills and how cleverly she leaves the audience think around the hidden messages. Album of the year is awaiting and approachable.
Sad that many people are not into this genre of music. I’d be listening to songs from folklore or evermore and my friends would throw hate on these songs and Taylor. 😔
*the whole album feels warm, and comfortable: just like home.*
can i speak to the manager This sounds like the album to listen to after a long stressful day at work.
Not the songs I've listened to. They been sad and make me feel like I'm going through a breakup

Taylor’s lyrical talent is undeniable, especially with this one.
This one is Golden!!!!
She boggles my mind, such a wordsmith.
Me too. First thing I pay attention are the lyrics. It strikes me every time. Like she would say: So Stoked!!!!
And also..Peace. The depth of that one gave me the shivers today!
this is one of my favorites from the album
I think this is the most romantic song she has ever written. Everything about it is so beautiful.
Sarah Calvert yeah. This song is all about the beauty of chance!
Nowhere close to THE Lover
For me I think Lover is her most romantic song but this one is definitely a close second. They are both so beautifully written.
lover exists
Every song on this album has a romantic feel, melencoly, wistful, and perfect.

And in daylight she said love is golden ❤️

That's because she has such a limited vocal range (and that's okay - a lot of great singers only have slightly wider ranges than her, Karen Carpenter and Dusty Springfield for example), she just hammers the melodies on the same clusters of notes and it is very somnambulistic.

Can you please explain to me the meaning of this expression
@@houdasoufari2689 well I'm not as smart as Taylor but i think it means that when we get hurt we get healed as the time passes
I get it thank u so much
@@houdasoufari2689 it means that she was deeply injured by something that cut her deep and then with time and with love she healed just fine :))
"Bad was the blood of the song in the cab on your first trip to LA" why isn't anybody talking about this line??? She's clearly saying that Joe heard Bad Blood on a cab when he was at LA for the first time and for some reason I think this is the coolest thing ever!!!
Who knew the woman on the radio would be the love of his life?
I think the same!
Who's joe? Joe mama?

this song is so underrated
'invisible string' is gorgeous, definitely going to be an on repeat for me. The lyrics is incredible and full of feelings. The metaphors are very meaningful. Makes you remember the song "Red' with the colors mentioned on this song.
Yea! I thought of Red also when she mentioned colors here
Me either. I love super!
also Daylight because she mentioned the color "gold" often in this song
I think she meant the "red string of faith" from japanese folklore where two people that are connected with an invisible red string is destined for each other
CC I suddenly remember the Japanese anime movie Kimi no Nawa (Your Name) when you mentioned about the red string of faith.
DID SHE JUST REFERENCE HER OWN SONG. THIS SONG IS ELITE.
Taylor deserves Nobel prize for her songwriting genious
I agree!
She willlll
Agreed
YUP, SHE WON THE ALBUM OF THE YEAR.
Folklore is a masterpiece that you can listen to in any season, but it just feels more special when it's raining outside and you're playing this album while slowly sipping hot cocoa beside your window, pondering about what has been and what could be.
Happy anniversary to Grammy 2020's Album of the Year, and actually one of the best albums of all time.
“BAD was the BLOOD of the song in the cab...” I love a reference queen!!
There are soooo many in these songs. I love it 😍😍😍
❤️
I don’t think people fully understand the power and ability this woman has to write lyrics. Wow.
I am baffled, time to time
For real. Underestimated everytime.
I think people do actually get it. That’s why we are all here.
This entire album is incredible and I feel everyone will be able to relate to at least one song
i hope my future wife is listening to this song as well so that when we meet we could say taylor swift was the invisible string tying us to each other xx
When you find her remember to come back to this comment!
that would be sooo cute
i hope you'll find her
Oh my gosh, I love this idea!!
♥️
i was talking to this boy last year who's really into music with deep imagery, i told him im a huge taylor swift fan and he should listen to folklore (her latest album then) because i bet he would love it. he said he'd give it a try then the following night while we were talking about his family he randomly shared that he finished listening to the album and invisible string is his favorite out of all. mine was mirrorball. we're not talking anymore but every time this song plays he would cross my mind. he was a really nice guy, maybe if i wasn't so complicated we could be something more.
"maybe if i wasn't so complicated, we could be something more" though this line is highly relatable and is the reason why i ruin things for myself, you should know there exists someone out there who'd take you "out of all the wrong arms". It's mostly the wrong people and circumstances that make us believe that something must be wrong with us even though we try, try and try. If anything I could take away from these albums and especially this song is that I'll find "my one" too. Maybe tomorrow, maybe when I'm 30. The invisible string is here and that's cool with me. Up until then, exhaling it all.
Sounds like there is an invisible string between you two...
@@eyexha You made my day thankyou for this beautiful reminder💌🌻
It's evermore era but i'm still not over folklore.
update : it's re-recording era and i am still very much in love with folklore era.
😭😭😭
Same ...it's crazy how fast time is passing by
I can't believe folklore era has ended
I’ll never be over folklore 😭
She said they’re twins and twins never separated 😉👍🏻
Transparent was the colour of my tears that ran down my face listening to this album
The line "Teal was the color of your shirt, when you were sixteen at the yogurt shop, you used to work at to make a little money" is about Taylor’s boyfriend Joe Alwyn and his old part-time job in London where he worked at 'Snogs Frozen Yogurt" Additionally, all employees wear the company’s staple teal uniforms.
-Genius
I got the lyrics from "genius" and YES Taylor Swift is a lyrical Genius.
@@luchethegreat3482 Genius as in the information was derived from the Genius website. What are you on?
@@luchethegreat3482 it's still genius, the way she weaves her experiences into lyrics. It's no easy feat, and whether or not the above comment is mentioning the website 'Genius', she's definitely a genius.
luciano pantano u done embarrassed urself young man
@@luchethegreat3482 I'm feeling second hand embarrassment cuz of you lol
This song doesn't deserve their breakup
did anyone else notice the little line under the lyrics, like invisible string..
It was under every lyric. I thought it was some scratch on my screen at first but then I loved how the line was so thin it was so symbolic❤😌
am i blind
Had to look closer when I read this but all I ever see was dirt on my phone. Need to disinfect, I guess.
OMG! Thank you! I see it now 🥰🥰
Oh my yess!
I feel like this is truly a passion project for Taylor, it’s like nothing else she has ever done.
At least we now know if we get another Pandemic. Taylor Swift will save us all.
Yes to TS to saved us all but Please no to more pandemic.
I heard bubonic plague is trending...TS9 is coming out in October
Eric M their is treated for the bubonic plague so that won’t happen
please don’t jinx us with another plague but yes to taylor xx
ahaha yeah
The pain of going from "All along there was some invisible string, Tying you to me?" To "But it would've been fun, if you would've been the one"
right 😢😢
But relationships can end and still have been incredible experiences that changed your life forever and indelibly changed you for the better. Both of these things be true. Their love may be done but that doesn’t mean that they still aren’t tied together forever. People may go but their love and the memories stay. I am in my late 30s btw so I may have a more mature outlook on this, I don’t know. I still have a lot of love for (most) of my exes and what they brought to my life during the time they were in it as a lover.
Stawp 😭😭😭
ang sakit mo na 😢
@@lalahobbes Your comment just healed me a tiny bit
Guys " invisible string" is litterally the most used guitar string in this song ( the last guitar string is almost invisible)
Just genius💜
Also the song sounds like a calm version of Red 😍💜💜
DELETE YOUR EMOJI NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wth..Why you telling everyone to delete they emojis???
aliando putrab that’s not actually a thing lol
@@lizachannel770
Seriously why would anyone delete their emojis😂😂😂😂
I want to thank Taylor for two things. 1. This song. 2. Making my realise I need to book an eye appointment.
Hahahahha
🤣🤣🤣 right! That print for us old folks 🤣🤣
I'm choking sSOO HARD
😃 Right... Me too😂
😆😆 yep
Taylor really out her narrating an entire story in song . The power this genius lyricist have💓🥺🥺🥺
It's a little boring, this album.
@@juliaalonzo5998 cant relate
she's a lyrical genius
so tfue
Understatement
"Time
Mystical Time
Cutting me open
and healing me fine..."
so satisfying
My favorite line as well
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO'S LISTENING AND CRYING AFTER EVERY SINGLE SONG ON THE RECORD....NOSTALGIA
Same here 😢😢
You're not alone
Same here
Same here. Made a goosebumps 😭❤
HER VOICE IS SO FREAKIN' COMFY...I JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THIS ALREADY
Nobody:
Absolutely nobody:
Taylor: making us feel like we're finally in a peaceful home
well that hit close to home
like always♥
Every day
So true😭🙌🏼
not peaceful home but peaceful moment
This whole album is no skips❤
Time, mystical times,
Cutting me open, then healing me fine..
One of the best lines ever written
yeah this line is soooooo touching
It's universally true! An integral part of existence...
I get this line stuck in my head a lot. I think it's my mind trying to help me somehow.
Possibly one of the reasons why i love this song on the album so much
And also the line ''Time, wondrous time, gave me the blues and then purple pink skies. And it's cool, baby with me'
This line pops up in my head out of nowhere most of the times and it's the main reason why i come back to this song every time. 'Cause i never go out of Style.
The world doesn't even deserve the Taylor Swift. She's a goddess.
i think the reason why i've been so obsessed with taylor for the last 11 years is because she writes what i think. not in the way of "this song is a page ripped from my diary" way, but for example in the reputation prologue where she talked about how we only know the part of people they choose to let us see. it's something that i had constantly thought about since 2016 when snapgate went down. how can we hate celebrities if we only know the side they've allowed us to see? sometimes it's a character they're playing, sometimes its a toned down version of themselves or a caricature version of themselves. and with this song, ive always thought about the concept of being tied in someway to the person you're supposed to end up with. everything that you do, everyone that you date, their choices, and your choices lead you to each other because there's something there pulling you together. an invisible string.
yes! i think there are people we’re destined to meet. platonic soulmates, romantic ones, whoever. just people were meant to create memories with, whether they stay in our lives forever or not.
this is so well-written. thank you.
I love how you think
wow, this makes so much sense!
Here after conrad and Belly went out when it was snowing and this song pkays😭ᜊ𓏲
i just can't stop wondering why nobody in the comments is referring to the lines-
"time, wondrous time, gave me the blues and the purple-pink skies".... like her time with joe gave her lover.... i can't be the only one, right?
wait yes I love that
Wooww....This song is full of details that dumbs like me cannot understand 😂
yesss I was thinking the same, this line is magical....love gives blues and purple-pink skies.......
Thats my favorite line! Theres just something with the word purple pink skies ❤️
For me, time gave her the blues (sorrows and heartaches before) and then purple-pink skies (happiness right now)
2:41 she sent some presents to Joe and Sophie's baby! My hearttttttt. This woman. 🥰
"for the boys who broke my heart. Now I send their baby present", Joe just has his first child
This is exactly the comment i've been looking for! 😁❤
I thought of that too!
...Joe who?? I'm sorry...
@@hsidd Jonas, his wife is pregnant with their first baby
@@abbiiON ok, but who is Joe? Like what's his surname so I could do some googling and what does he have to do with Taylor Swift
Does anyone else listen to “Delicate”, “Lover” and “Invisible String” in this order as a trilogy? “Invisible String” is like a conclusion to the story in retrospect. ☺️
The whole album is poetry 😍
TAYLOR SWIFT : ACTRESS , SONG WRITER , DIRECTOR , SINGER , BUSINESS WOMAN , PRODUCER , PHILANTHROPIST , POET
Just think about it:
“Bad was the blood of the song in the cab on your first trip to LA” - Joe listened to Bad blood during his first trip to LA
“Bold was the waitress on our three year trip getting lunch down by the Lakes, she said I looked like an American singer” - some waitress didn’t recognize her on their 3rd anniversary when they were at the Lakes (the Lakes from the last song)
And here we have a song. This woman can literally write a whole story thinking about a leaf falling from the tree or cats’ hair on her couch. Just give her one word and she’ll make a story. Her imagination is brilliant
she's just so genius 🥺
her mind is just something else
That waitress thing is real😂 i saw a video on tiktok
She is a genius
Yes :) Also The Lakes are referring to The Lake District in England
I have a playlist I called "Sad songs/sleep tight"
And the whole folklore album would be there. Periodt.
Could you please share that? 🥺🥺🥺🥺
can we listen to that playlist 👉👈
Can i listen to it?
I suggest you add 'Wait' by M83 to that playlist :)
Share the link!!!!
when you're happy: taylor swift
when you're sad: taylor swift
when you're mad: taylor swift

I was really nervous so i dropped the t by accident, sorry :(
Waitress: you look like an American singer
Taylor: 👁️👄👁️
If I was the waiter (cause I'ma boy) I would scream bcoz of happiness.

@@fineline3725 eyy I see you everywhere
@@elrondisaiah I want to increase the number of comments hihi
In Mine, Taylor imagines her dream guy "working part time waiting tables" and in Invisible String, we find out he worked at a yoghurt shop when he was 16....around the same time she wrote Mine. How cool?!
OMGGGGG THE CONNECTION!!!
In last kiss she says about Joe Jonas "your name forever the name on my lips" and how convenient is that now she's in a relationship with a guy named Joe
Thank you for explaining this because for real I never understood what those lines were about
@@tld7359 omg
😳
“She said I look like an American singer” this reminds me of “who’s Taylor Swift anyway?”
From "Who's Taylor Swift anyway?"
To "She said I look like an American Singer" 😭
Yessss 😭
I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22
who's taylor swift anyway? ew.
Lmao I laughed on that part
This song is just soooooo delicate ! (no play on words 💖)
"Isn't it just so pretty to think, all along there was some invisible string, tying you to me"
🎶🎶🎶
I love how she says "clues" in this song.
Easter eggs
chimmy swiftie yessss
This song makes me feel like there IS someone out there for me...
She is honestly the best singer in history with the best songs best analogies and best lyrics.
Beyoncé Adele and Mariah exist❤️
_such a romantic song of fitting your other puzzle piece with your other true love, they’re like a hidden treasure lost in plain sight but somehow found its way to you because of your persistence belief in love. like a boy that yearns to catch a butterfly desperately, he learned patience, humbleness and what it means to be considerate so one day the butterfly landed right in front of his doorsteps._
imagine telling a customer that they look like an American singer and then the next thing you know _Taylor Swift_ writes a line about you
And out of every song you’re on this masterpiece

Unpopular opinion: invisible string is the best song in the folklore album
Taylor's every song in folklore :
wait what? that’s an unpopular opinion?! i agree anyways
Seven and this is my trying for me
My fave 😊
It is 😏
It's hard to believe in love these days. But listening to Taylor gives me hope.
Folklore clearly has a strength in lyrical work that expresses her storytelling skills and how cleverly she leaves the audience think around the hidden messages. Album of the year is awaiting and approachable.
also evermore
Sad that many people are not into this genre of music. I’d be listening to songs from folklore or evermore and my friends would throw hate on these songs and Taylor. 😔
