UPDATE: MY BAD Y'ALL I THOUGHT THE MAJORITY OF THESE SONGS WERE FROM HER FOLKLORE WRITING SESSIONS. I DIDN'T REALIZE THIS GIRL JUST DOESN'T SLEEP AND HAS BEEN NON STOP WORKING. for real though, can she take a nap? I need an emotional break. Also.. possible third album? sometime in spring? where are yall getting this info
Look at the folklore photo shoot.. WOODVALE is coming
Taylor's not satisfied just killing my soul emotionally, she also has to make me feel like a slacker during quarantine.
The cardigan collection she dropped they were 3 the first had the folklore album cover colors and a tag with folklore the 2nd apparently is with evermore colors and there's a 3rd and if u zoom into both album covers there's something written so ummm child anyways so
for real... has she tried THERAPY?!
Prepare yourself for 10th Album - Woodvale (probably early 2021) 🤍
according to taylor, she began writing evermore a week after folklore was released so they aren’t rlly songs that didn’t make it on folklore they just didn’t exist yet lol
Yeah that’s what I was thinking too
And she finished the album last week when she finished writing Happiness!
@@TheWSYNkatevy153 she wrote folklore in four months too
Mmmm...Taylor sus on this one. I think she *already* did it but I just can't prove it.
@@TheWSYNkatevy153 Writing songs like this doesn't take much time, it's the production that takes forever. Since these are mostly acoustic, it's a lot easier :D
ashley the whole video: "i've connected the dots"
taylor: "you haven't connected shit"
ashley: "I've connected them"
😂😂😂
BUZZFEED UNSOLVED YAS I SEE U
@@caitlinmariereacts CAITLIN HI LEGEND
😂😂😂
It remains UNSOLVED
The way it took Taylor THIS LONG to write a song about murdering a man is still baffling to me.
She need to do more
I did something bad is RIGHT there
@@meridam5728 but she isn't physically murdering a man at least not that i know of
After all those heartbreak. Now that she's finally in a great relationship with a fine man she's gonna drop this on us? Tf is the music industry smoking? 👁️👄👁️
I still love this song 👀
@@meridam5728 yeah she’s written tons of songs about how men suck but she’s never like literally unalived one
"if taylor says it's a word, then it's a word."
we finally found two pretty best friends, folklore and evermore.
That's cause they are sisters ! 🤪😌
They're gonna be 3.... I hope

Goood i love ivy so much!!!
@@giazgiantara2925 Sameee 😭😭
Everyone is sleeping on her 😭
She dint know what that masterpiece a gronwer
The ivy disrespect that’s the best song on the album
I love Ivy so much. My order:
1) Willow
2) Ivy
3) Evermore
I believe in 'ivy' supremacy
i love ivy, i agree
Literally when she said your losing me I was like what’s with the ivy slander
Straight women just can’t appreciate
Taylor literally said: IM GONNA BREAK ASH FOR THE SECOND TIME THIS YEAR FOR QUALITY TH-cam CONTENT
The public: happy
omg hi bestie im exposingupdatin from twitter
I absolute do not tolerate “tolerate it”. She didn’t have my permission to put my biggest struggle in life into a song and serve it to me on a silver plate. The audacity she has...
RIIIIGHT? sometimes I feel like taylor spy us to write songs like she can't just hit that close to home
Ooof. I'm so sorry because that song hurts man.
@@xime8922 it really be like that. I don’t know where else she would get the idea to write a song like that.
@@lbheflin1458 100%. I wasn’t able to function after listening to it. It still haunts me.
@@JunnieJK I've seen theories that it was for princess Diana. It would make sense, she said she was watching a lot of TV and movies and the crown is super popular right now.
My mom died 10 years ago and I still have her last grocery list on my dresser, so "I wish I kept every grocery store receipt, because every scrap of you would be taken from me" had me sobbing on the floor in the fetal position. Just hearing the opening chords of Marjorie now has me in tears every time. Thanks, Taylor!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤️😭
Sending a huge virtual hug.
Aww, sending you some love girl! ❤
Sending you hugs 💛💛💛
Sorry for your loss :( My grandmother also passed in July. So Marjorie and "I've been down since July" from evermore hit me.
ash : i didn’t like the repititive in chorus
rankings: 1. no body no crime
1. Tolerate it
*1. Long story short
And how did she put Dorothea last??
It’s absolutely unhinged. Best song on the album just for that. And. Also for taking us to a county club.
@@AmyAberrant dorthea is my second last in this album not saying it’s not good but this album is a work of art and every song from it is incredible! Unpopular opinion i like it more than folklore
Pov: Taylor is the bus, we're Regina George
That's really fetch...
@@sarvesh0914 Stop trying to make fetch happen, it's not going to happen!
Lmao😂
lmao i read this at the same time she said "but that just fucking hit me like a truck"
YASSS
Taylor releasing a new album a few months after Ash finally does a Taylor swift all songs ranking amuses me for some reason.
she really does hate me, i'm CONVINCED
@@ReactsByAsh I think Ariana does also.. but we got your back
@@ReactsByAsh well both of the queens hate u, sucks to suck :))
I love your pfp and username btw LMAO
Finally some respect for ‘Closure’!!! I’ve seen so many people hating on it and I’m not here for it!!
according to aaron dessner she actually wrote tis the damn season while drunk in the middle of the night, literally imagine
That's legendary behaviour. Periodt.
@@estescorpse8727 ur account name ☠️😭
@@estescorpse8727 we love a Taylor Ariana stan
“Coney Island” references all of her exes:
Jake Gyllenhaal: “were you standing in the hall way with a big cake, happy birthday”
The moment I knew: “and they’re all standing around me singing, Happy Birthday to you” talking about him missing her birthday party
John Mayer: “did I paint your blue skies the darkest gray”
Dear John: “you paint me a blue sky then go back and turn it to rain”
Harry Styles: “and when I got into the accident”
Out of the woods: “remember when you hit the brakes too soon, twenty stitches in the hospital room.” Talking about an accident that her and him got into on a snowmobile.
Calvin Harris: “but when I walked up to the podium I think that I forgot to say your name.”
I forgot that you existed from Lover is apparently about Calvin. Or maybe also when Taylor won a grammy and didn't thank Calvin on stage?
Actually iftye is about scooter and Scott lol
During awards season, Calvin never publicly thanked Taylor for her help on "This Is What You Came For" - not even in acceptance speeches!
@@kaviyn_da_king4020 Not even about them since that didn’t happen until long after the album was finished. It’s about the people on reputation, ie Kimye and all her fake friends
@@kaviyn_da_king4020 She never said that
Actually...I forgot that you existed is a response to reputation...she thought that it would kill her...but it didn’t...you cant change my mind about that
Marjorie is about Taylor's grandmother marjorie finlay which is a opera singer.... She used her grandmother's voice as backing vocals. Wonderful as fvck.
yeah this one fucking destroyed me...I also have a grandma that I looked up to that isn't here anymore and I got fucking mopped when I heard that one lmaoooo
@@LadyDelSangue87 I lost my grandpa last year who I was so close too. This song destroyed me as well 😭
I didn't know she used her grandma's voice wow
The lyric video is HEARTBREAKING
my gramma passed away because of the covid 19, and marjorie destroyed me (in a nice away)
this is the longest four days I’ve ever experienced, the one reactor I couldn’t wait to watch
Same she’s literally my only source of joy 😭
Dude i was literally checking every hour if she uploaded or not lmao
MEE😭😭
ME
@@aylinbilge4683 same lol
Coney island deserves respect. It’s such a grower and the last chorus is absolute perfection. It went to my top 5 after a couple listens
Same
Totally agree with you
The best song of the album.
Yessss
Yes! At first it was near the bottom of my list but it quickly got stuck in my head and has moved up!
WHY EVERYONE DID “CONEY ISLAND” SO DIRTY? IS ONE OF THE BEST SONGS
Ikr i like the lyrics and the story
Same, The National is my favorite band because apparently I only enjoy being emotionally destroyed by music so I was most excited about this song and it did NOT disappoint 🌧🖤
SAME ITS SO GOOD AND SO UNDERRATED
I KNOWWWWW, i love when they sing back and forth
I KNOW
Nobody:
Nobody at all:
Taylor: I'm gonna make a song called Happiness that is SO SAD.
Lmaoo
That song fucking destroyed me
Same with Lady Gaga and “Fun Tonight.” That shit is about dark shit girl 😭
She pulled an ed Sheeran, with happier
I like when songs that have a certain title talk about, or sound like literally the opposite when you get into the actual songs. The songs mentioned above are great examples. Especially Fun Tonight, because that makes you shake your ass away while bawling your eyes out, that's for sure 💀👄💀
OOP OOP IM LATE BUT IM HERE AND IM STILL CRYING OVER EVERMORE
You're the cutest
my two queens interacting.. this is my avengers crossover
@@JuanVillalobos ikr
omg make a song together!!!
OOOHHH Guys, I love them both 🖤
Ok but are we not going to talk about how Taylor included her grandma’s voice at the end of Marjorie and mentioned her in the credits because she was a lyrical singer?? And also that Marjorie is track n.13 because her grandma passed away when she was thirteen years old??? Ouch
Not to mention that soon youll get better is also track 13
@Kate McGee OMG DUDE
@@angulargyrus2722 all the track 13s seem to be about the Swifts! Epiphany was about her grandfather in the war and she tied it to the pandemic as well. And The Lucky One sounds a song she sang to herself after become a celebrity and having that hectic lifestyle.
@@angulargyrus2722 Soon you'll get better's track 12
@@sabhyata2655 my theory is that in folklore and evermore, she chose to have the "grandparent" songs as track 13s because she wanted to distinguish those albums as different than her other ones in that sense, while on all her other albums, the ones about her family are track 12s. Songs like I'm Only Me When I'm With You, The Best Day, Sad Beautiful Tragic (which I have a theory is about her parents divorcing), and Soon You'll Get Better are all track 12s on their respective albums, and they're all about people in her family.
"IT'S ALMOST AS IF SHE WAKES UP EVERYDAY AND DECIDES TO CHOOSE CHAOS" I feel you!!!

I was looking for your comment
Thanks bot!😘
the way she really pulled the "not a lot going on right now" TWICE
I remember thinking, “another album? Haha...unless.....nah. Maybe another music video?” 🤡
and we clowning thinking that we were getting exile or august mv
When ash said she doesn’t like repetitive choruses I was so stressed no body, no crime wasn’t going to get the love it deserves...and then she put it at number one WE STAN
Samee
I was so shocked when I saw that omg. I think it grew on her afterwards
Eh tolerate it is number one.
It either grew on her, or it was just that good that she still put it at no. 1
the way that "'tis the damn season" is literally the plot to a hallmark movie...queen of december
Ashley listening to Champagne Problem: that was so sad...
Honey, you got a big storm coming
LOL 🤣
She had no idea 😂😂
love how ashley begs for ballads in every album she listens to, then goes into a mental breakdown when she has them
The cycle of my life honestly
"I'm not cracking shit, I'm dumb." Every Swiftie in every era.
yes lmao when we thought 1989 and not red
ive realized evermore isnt gonna be that fall in love at first listen album like folklore but it’s a fine wine album IT GETS BETTER AND BETTER THE MORE YOU LISTEN
Actually for me it’s the opposite. I fall in love with Evermore at first listening lol😍
@@iry0092 same lol it's the opposite for me. I fell in love with folklore just after a few listens.
Opposite for me, EVERMORE immediately is my number 1 Taylor Swift album after I first listened to it while it took me almost 3 weeks to get used to FOLKLORE. Evermore just suits my taste, while Folklore although it is good, some songs are not in my ally but overall the sister albums are good and top tier.
“no body, no crime” is picture to burn’s chaotic older sister and we love her
Thats exactly what I thought!!!
Nah, no body no crime is picture to burn’s disturbingly cool and calculated older sister. Picture to burn spews out brash remarks for her lover, but no body no crime carries out murder with cold, silent, and surgical precision.
their mother is Better than Revenge
@@jessaii.xoxo143 and then I Forgot That You Existed is when Taylor decides to get her memory wiped and have a clean slate now🤩
yup and should've said no sounds like Este's POV
Ashley: "Please tell me we´re about to kill a man... This is my dream!"
.....
We might be concerned.
Or not?
😂😂😂
No body, no crime needs it's own grammy cathegory... i can't wait for her to realize she also has to write movies.
i would DIE if she wrote and directed a movie
Can we.not take her videos AS short cuts?
The All Too Well short film has entered the chat.
Not the way she's ACTUALLY writing a movie now
@@nightlock-cf3br I know. I've been saying this for years. I knew it was coming eventually.
Ms Taylor Alison Swift had the AUDACITY to name a song "happiness" and make it the most depressing shit I've ever heard. Let's cry together :)
FOR REAL LMAO 😭😭😭
Ash real dead because of tolerate it and then Taylor reviving her by saying “fancy shit” was the apex of this video lol
Ashley: "I don't like choruses being repetitive" *then adds no body no crime on the top* 😆😆 I STAN THIS WOMAN
evermore is genuinely a perfect album, zero skips. as much as I love folklore and I'm glad it won I'm disappointed that evermore is probably gonna get overlooked for album of the year next year cause I genuinely believe it is her best work, it dethroned 1989 as my favorite ts album
Same for me. I love folklore so much but evermore is a different LEVEL of amazing. There isn't a single song I would ever skip, it's so underrated
same, and also, it got nominated, yay!!
Evermore is wayyyyy better than folklore imo.
The album is like a goddamn assault on the emotions, but Marjorie in particular hits. If you've ever been through loss and grief, that song cuts deeper than a damn guillotine into your soul.
i’m sick of y’all disrespecting dorothea istg 🙄✋
THANK YOU! I LOVE DOROTHEA SO MUCH!
Please this song is so lovely
Literally! It has so much in the song
oh, there you are perry!
JUSTICE FOR DOROTHEA
seven is literally one of my favs on folklore. I’m glad Ashley appreciates it
same! seven is art and i won’t be taking any criticism
Y A A S
SAME! A work of art honestly.
YES YES YES
I just listened to folklore again and I really like seven, too. 😍😍😍
me screaming "THAT'S MY MAN!" super passionately depite being a raging Lesbian is hilarious to me! I do love this album, tho my fave song is "No body, no crime" because I do love a good song about murder! Also, i loved how optimistic you were going into happiness, but my first thought was literally "oh honey you got a big storm coming"
"Happy because he's gone?"
Oh honey...
ashley is honestly one of the best parts of release week.
bye, ily
@@ReactsByAsh ily more u have no idea 😭

The way you disrespected Cowboy Like Me and Dorothea...
my favorite songs 😭😭
Cowboy like me is one of the BIGGEST skips out of every song taylor has ever written 😭😭
@@nooralggg4829 you skip cowboy like me? OMG💀
@@nooralggg4829 I dare you to say that again to the best song on evermore 🔪
@@booabo I’m really sorry but I HATE it SO MUCH like words cannot express how much I hate it
My grandpa died this year and “Marjorie” reminded me of him so much. How I should’ve asked for advice rather than having tantrums at such a young age. Taylor Swift is truly the music industry.
I'm so sorry to hear that and I hope you're doing okay. R.I.P. 😢💔🙏🌈
The songs are not rejects from folklore, they were written after! For example, Taylor said that Happiness was written just last week ✨❤️
happiness became my stan song
@@teddyeatspudding what a gorgeous song!
I love happiness, but I hate it for making me cryyyyyy
Ya...and it just so happens to be one of my few skips on the album
Happiness really grew on me
Ashley's face every single time Taylor curses is honestly mood.
"'tis the damn season is" from the perspective of dorothea, when she comes back to her hometown for the holidays and crosses paths with an old crush/flame. 'dorothea' is from the perspective of the old flame.
“Please tell me we’re going to kill a man” this absolutely sends me I can’t 😂
"what is with taylor and these men with deep ass voices" uhhhh can we get a CORPSE x Taylor Swift song???
LMAOOOO TELL ME WHY I THOUGHT OF THAT AS WELL
@@ReactsByAsh it would break the internet
PLEASE
yessss omg
that would be very shocking but also please????
''I'd like to be my old self again,but I'm still trying to find it.''- All too well
''I haven't met the new me yet.''- Happiness
THAT'S WHY BOTH ARE SO PERFECT
💔
“Maybe this thing was a masterpiece til you tore it all up” -All Too Well
“She’ll patch up the tapestry that I shred” -Champagne Problems
“Shut up and cry, shut up and dance, do what you gotta do to cope” is the Swiftie motto I think
Marjorie is her grandma who died when Taylor was 13 and that’s her singing at the end ❤️
Also, THIS LOOK?!?!? periodt. You're STUNNING
These aren't Folklore leftovers. They were written afterwards.
Yes she couldn’t stop writing new songs
Duh she was bored in quarantine so... let’s make Taylor more bored so we can get some moreeeee 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@hoepurbo3332 Honestly I feel you, we were well FED by queen Swift last year and I wouldn't mind getting more music, to be honest. But let's not tire her out lmao, she already released 3 albums in a 1 year-4 month gap so that's more than enough lol
THE IVY DISRESPECT. also its Marcus Mumford from Mumford & Sons singing on cowboy like me :)
Lyrics aside, the moment you realize that Marjorie is her grandma and that she used her backing vocals on the track is the moment the song crushes you.
We STAN the Folklore CD in the background 😍
Ash: *confused of who the song is about*
Also Ash: *listening to a song called MARJORIE*
"That's my man, girl where?" I'M LAUGHING TOO MUCH BCUZ SAME
Folklore: A ballad/piano h** reacts to...
Evermore:: A ballad/piano h** reacts to...
The sequel we didn’t know we’d get but what we wanted
I have a feeling that its gonna be a trilogy
@@shi_. OH GOD I HOPE NOT I CANT HANDLE IT
Get ready for spring next year! XD (I really hope there’s not another one our queen deserves a break)
Fun Fact: Dorothea was the first song she made for the album (Possibly about our dear Friend Selena)
And Happiness was the last song she made, making it a week before the albums release!
Happiness fucking destroyed me that song hits different
Dorothea doesn't sound like it's about Selena at all. Like one line, other than that...no.
i just don’t know how she could write the saddest shit and just name it “happiness”
thought dorothea was the POV of whoever tis the damn season is about. like idk it fits.
@@raffy9629 Yeah, that theory actually makes sense.
Willow: This one is a simple track about unexpectedly falling hard for someone. It's against all her plans and everything she thought was gonna happen but she's all for it.
Champagne Problems: It's about two people who had very different plans for the same night. The guy pops the question to the girl and she breaks it off instead. There's no celebration despite everything the guy had planned and it's a moment of ultimate irony. It's hinted that the girl has some mental issues and the society scoffs at her, looking at her like a mad woman. Champagne Problems is an idiom used to talk about issues of the rich being nothing when compared to serious issues like poverty or death of someone and mental issues are offen passed off as such.
Gold Rush: It's about dreaming about falling for and chasing this guy who everybody wants and loves as she founds herself drawn to him as well. It draws a parallel to Lover's "I'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you". In the end she stops herself from getting lost in that dream because "she doesn't like a gold rush".
Tis The Damn Season and Dorothea: Dorothea is about this country girl who leaves for LA to make a name for herself like a lot of small town girls do and it is sung from the perspective of her lover from her hometown. Taylor also mentioned that although Dorothea isn't related to the highschool love triangle but she went to the same highschool as Betty, James and Inez.
Tis The Damn Season is a sequel to Dorothea. It talks about when Dorothea came back to her hometown for the holidays and met with that old flame of hers and realises what they has was beautiful.
Tolerate it: This one to me sounds like a married girl who's a stay at home wife. She looks up to her husband and loves him with everything she has. She thinks he's older and more mature than her and that it seems like she's considers herself below him. She gives him everything but he just seems to be tolerating her and the marriage for the sake of it. She suspects that he doesn't really respect or love her. Near the end she says that she could leave him if she wanted to but then the song ends with the opening lyrics which makes me think that she ended staying with him and doing nothing about it in the end and her threats to leave him were empty after all.
No body, no crime: This track paints a thrilling story or infidelity and murder. It tells the tale of Este, her husband, his mistress and the singer. Este suspects that her husband has been cheating on her but she has no way of proving it. She says she ain't letting untill the day she dies and ironically she does end up dying. Maybe she confronted her husband about the affair and he killed her. Nobody knows who killed her and so he gets away with it. The singer realises the fact that Este's husband has been acting suspicious and that he has killed her. Being Este's close friend, the singer seeks revenge. Having a boating license and being a maid helps her motive as she kills Este's husband and dumps him in the ocean. The mistress took out a big life insurance policy and was then conveniently framed. Everybody she thinks that she killed him but they can't prove it, meanwhile the mistress knows that the singer did it but she can't prove it either.
Happiness: To me it was about looking back at a past relationship which you were bitter about with the maturity of hindsight. She has finally come to terms with all that went wrong between them and is ready to clean up all the bad blood between them and remember the relationship as a what it was- a bundle of memories which did make her happy at some point of time.
Conney Island: I'm not sure about this one but it felt like a relationship which broke down because one of them became famous and were cast into the spotlight and they got a little lost in the light and forgot to look back at the one who was there for then all along.
P.S- Notice in the bridge their are callbacks to Calvin, John, Harry and Jake.
Ivy: This is about a girl who's in an unhappy marriage and finds herself drawn to another man. Despite having a husband, she pursues and affair with this guy who she just can't help but fall far. There's fear and thrill in this illicit affair and she wonders what would happen if her husband ever found out.
Cowboy Like Me: This sounds like the tale of two con artists. Both Rob rich people of their money from one way or another. It is hinted that they capture the hearts of their victims and then end up robbing them. When the meet each other, they are drawn to each other and end up getting together. I'm not sure but the end to me seemed like the guy, just like it was in his nature, ended up robbing this girl as well while she had fallen for him for real this time.
Long Story Short: Long story short, this is about Taylor getting over all her past turmoils like 2016 incident and all her bad relationships and finding love and happiness in Joe.
Marjorie: This is a tribute to her grandmother who was an opera singer. Her vocals are audible in the outro.
Closure: This song is at a direct contrast to happiness. It's about her refusing to give the greenlight of forgiveness to a past lover who write her a letter seeking for forgives and closure to ease his own conscience.
Evermore: This, I think is about Joe too. It talks about how through all the darkness, maybe throughout her life or of the lockdown, she found solace in her beloved and with him there she feels hopeful and knows in her heart that all these dark clouds wouldn't stay forevermore.
This is really useful!
couple of thoughts:
tolerate it- inspired from rebecca by daphne du maurier which taylor said made her realise that the husband just tolerated her.
happiness- probably inspired from abigail and her now ex husband, in which they've spent very long together only for this to end. thenarrator also shows conflict about how to move on when you're used to a person's presence, the flash of envy at a new person dating their ex partner and finally letting them know that she forgives him and hopes for their happiness with or without each other in due time.
long story short- hints at tom hiddlestone (no shade) as the wrong pair of lips only to find love with joe
closure- the first 13 seconds are this chaotic machine break and that continues throughout the song as background, the song could be about big machine records/ scott/scooter sending her a letter, which is meant to be a form of closure and taylor doesnt need it after the damage is done, so she wants to be by herself and responds sassily.
evermore- the dn of the song seems to be about joe becoming the warm place for her, but the initial part seems to be about her feuds with kim/ kanye/ media, feeling alienated and out in the cold.
@@shalakaj523 to add on to you, I think ivy is about emily dickinson and not about a woman having an affair with a man without her husband knowing. i think if you look closer at the lyrics it makes the most sense
@@rohinithatte9706 Hi Rohini! yess, it seems to be about emily and sue. wrote the comment before and have since then seen so many interpretations of thing song, such magic!
These are all really interesting theories and I love how we can do this for an album that's already interesting on its own.
I love “Tolerate It” so much. It’s so pretty 😭😭
Ash had a mental breakdown last time, and she's about to have another
folklore’s and evermore’s covers remind me of “the rest of the world was black and white but we were in screaming color”
Wow that's true
folklore shes in the woods, evermore shes out of the woods so there is definitely a connection
Coney Island even talks about getting into an accident and Taylor walking up to the hospital podium and forgetting his name and losing her baby and Out of the Woods says she left the hospital room and surrounded by monsters that were just trees, which definitely links into Folklore and Evermore also 👀
The fact that she wrote Happiness a week before evermore came out seriously fucks with my brain
Also, seven is my fav song on folklore and makes me cry every time
CONEY ISLAND DESERVES BETTER THIS AND EVERMORE ARE LITERALLY THE EXILE OF EVERMORE
yes fuck go on a rainy day and sit on a sheltered bench and listen to coney island and u fucking will feel ur soul as the rain stops
Ashley looking like Katniss Everdeen over here and I'm loving it
Worst day today, Jesy leaves Little Mix, i'm sick af and have exams coming. Then Ash posts, always here cheering me up!
Omg i didn’t know until I read ur comment now I am crying during champagne problems
Yea 😭 sad day for mixers
Hope tomorrow is better 💖
Good luck for exams!
In Taylor's song happiness ...there will be happiness after me but there is happiness because of me...to jesy and alll little mix fans!!!
'happiness' is superior im sorry it was a whole therapy soul uncovering moment! I felt 30 years of my life flash before me, I love how its one of those songs where you can always come back to it after different life stages (good/bad) and get a different experience each time xx love your vid ^^
Here's my interpretation of the songs so far:
Willow - her having an "invisible string" moment where she explains how she was when she met Joe. The line "rough on the surface but you cut through like a knife" refer to how she was during her reputation era, where noe one could get through to her because Taylor Swift being Taylor Swift was too much to handle for people. But then Joe came along and cut through all the shallow fame and cancelling. And the line "wait for the signal and I'll meet you after dark" refer to her and Joe secretly and privately dating, considering every high profile/not secretive relationship of hers have not gone well so I think she didn't want to risk a beautiful, real relationship to go down in flames with Joe as well, so they keep their buisniss between the two of them, and we get some lines, songs here and there about their relationship from reputation, lover, folklore and now evermore.
Champagne problems - two meanings where one if the relatable heartbreaking reality of a long term relationship ending because one is not ready for marriage, but doesn't know why. The other meaning is "champagne problems" being a reference to "first world problems", tho it can hurt for the involved people and for them it's a huge deal, but compared to grand world problems like war, it's just a "champagne problem" and it could be worse.
Gold rush - Taylor being in the mindset of "every relationship of mine has not worked out, and so no other will" but daydreaming about what her and Joe's relationship could be, almost in the same time as she was when she wrote songs like "dancing with our hands tied" or "cruel summer". And she uses her usual Joe-spesific reference of gold (and blue in other songs) to describe the fear of someone else catching Joe's eyes and flock to him like he is gold, hence the title being "gold rush", which she says in lover "I'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you want you".
Tis the damn season - running into an old flame when one is back for the holidays in one's home town.
Tolerate it - the sad realization that even tho you paint someone as a hero, as supirior, with your best colours, you do everything to satisfy them because they are the greatest in your eyes, and in return all you get is being tolerated. Like "I know my love should be selebrated (like yours is by me) but all I get is "I tolerate your existence"".
No body, no crime - Este, Taylor's friend tells her she suspects her husband for cheating and contemplating calling him out for it, next time Taylor passed by her house she notices his car has some new tires, after she couldn't find Este at her job or anywhere, and suspects him for murdering Este because his mistress moves in after Este went missing. Taylor gets Este's sister on board to cover up her story for the cops, they murder him and the mistress gets the blame since she had taken out a big life insurance policy before he died.
Happiness - mature way of letting yourself get closure without seeking it from the other person. In realizing that her joy for being able to live out her dream through her career, she had happy moments, which was because Scott gave her the opportunity to sign with his new label, but she will also expirience happy moment without him and pass their fights, break ups etc. She's also taking acauntability for her wrong parts in their working relationship, as well in maturely calling out him for his bad parts.
Dorothea - the male perspective to Tis the damn season, also I've read in other comment sections that it could be about Selena Gomez, which is Taylor's best friend.
Coney Island - the miscommunications, misunderstandings and mistakes that broke apart a relationship. What I get out of the verse that says "were you waiting at our old spot by the gold clock did I leave you hanging every single day" are really just a fear of showing up, getting rejected stopped me from showing up for you, but maybe for all I know you were there waiting for me or not wanting to be rejected in case I didn't show up. Like we were not showing up for each other when we needed to, so we left each other hanging every day, and now our relationship is breaking down when really, we could have worked things out.
Ivy - the taboo, but the relatable feeling that comes along with an affair for the people involved. And is just as valid to be explained as the typical couple breaks up to be with other people and the new feelings that gets evoked here.
Cowboy like me - the fear of being hurt by failing relationships inables you from putting yourself out there for chances of getting to feel things.
Long story short - another "invisible string" moment where she goes over how she felt during reputation era ad how that led her to Joe.
Marjorie - tribute to her grandmother who was an opera singer, and her opera singing is put into the last part of the song. It's about remenising, regretting the conversations you didn't have when you had the chance, and how she feels her grandmother in her head, in her learned lessons and how she keeps her alive in her head.
Closure - one of my faves btw. I love how the drums are chaotic because they represent the manipulative, fake "closure" wanting person to try and sneak back into your life when you don't want or need it, being the nice calming piano and the pety "I don't need your stupid attempts at getting into my life again, I'm fine being angry at you, leave me alone because I knew we're over we'll before I got your so called unnecessary "closure".
Evermore - yet another "invisible string" moment where she talks about how she felt the reputation era was her darkest, hardest time, and how her holding onto Joe, got her through it. This song is also highly applicable to depression "I thought this pain would be for evermore" and how Joe was enough for her to keep fighting until she reached her feeling of "this pain wouldn't be for evermore".
Ashley being mad at Taylor Swift being a genius for 29 minutes
Just FYI these aren’t rejected songs....she continued writing after folklore came out
Taylor's lower register is my weakness 😭😭😭💓💓💓
Ash serving Nancy Drew realness with piecing together the stories in these songs
Ash: "please tell me we're killing men"
me: yas, gurl, we are
halsey : killing boys
less than one minute in and we are already diving into theories... im here for it
"If taylor swift and bon iver made a whole album it would be the saddest thing ever"
You clearly have not heard for Emma forever ago.

thank you so, so much! you’re a life saver! haha
@@kclouds3 you're welcome!!!! :D
FUN FACT she wrote champagne problems alone with Joe 🤧
and coney island and evermore 🥺
@@delphinef.9579 yeah!!! 🤧✨
They are so confident and comfortable in their relationship to write a breakup song together I'm crying🥴🥺
@@delphinef.9579 yeah but those two also had other cowriters
IKR how do they sit together and like: “oh let’s write about what would be if we broke up”
GURL FINALLY. You and Caitlin were the only people who came to my mind when I found out she was releasing an album
omg 🥺
how to say same without saying the word same >
@@raekenfoxtail1024 me too
Me also
The same thing happened to me lol
@@caitlinmariereacts oh baby 🌹😻
“Suddenly I don’t care”. Cowboy Like Me is great
I feel like Dorthea and "Tis the Damn season'" are connected. As in Dorethea is a girl who came back to her hometown to visit her parents' home during Christmas.
It’s the damn season is from Dorotheas POV and Dorothea is from an old lovers POV
I feel like I’ve aged about 10 years waiting for this video but it was more than worth it
I feel like Joe and Taylor just role plays getting a horrible breakup and they write songs about it JDHDJFGDJDHDJD love them couple goals LMAO
Lmfaooo I hopeee 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Aged so bad
This aged so poorly 😕
@@samriddhibhatt5865 u jinxed it lmao
@@kenjin1730 shiiiit 😭
just an fyi, evermore is not an album of folklore rejects. It is simply an extension or part 2 of folklore :)
My gf of 3 years and I recently broke up and the last song we danced to was champagne problems,,,,,,,pain
Ivy is one of the best songs on the album and you slept on it omg
I know right! The one thing I don’t get is how the entire fandom doesn’t seem to realize that it’s about two women
@@sinclair8824 HAHAHA I thought I am the only one geez.
@@sinclair8824 ivy and cowboy like me are lesbian-gay solidarity
alright here's everything about the album/storylines in it, consider this a masterpost:
this album, although a sister album, has completely different characters and stories separate from the storylines in folklore, so no love triangle. it also isn't songs that were leftover from folklore. taylor released folklore and couldn't stop writing songs so all of these were made after it was already released. taylor said she wrote happiness literally a week ago. so it's basically a whole other album separate from folklore but just very similar structure, production, and style. now onto the songs:
willow: this one's pretty autobiographical and generally about Taylor and joe's relationship, so no characters/storylines. has similar themes/references to delicate and cruel summer, which is also about their relationship.
champagne problems: this a storyline! this is about a couple in college who think their relationship is going two very different ways, one is about to break things off (this is the person the perspective of the song is in) and the other was planning to propose (hence the mom's ring in the pocket and the rejected proposal).
gold rush: this one is generally biographical as well. This one could be compared to delicate in the sense that she was scared to get into a relationship at that time in her life when she met joe. Similar themes to delicate and gorgeous, where she would imagine how nice a life with him would be but stopping herself because it would be too risky. Taylor also commented that the song is meant to sound like someone coming in and out of a daydream (one about the pretend relationship in their heads), which is why one part sounds dreamy and the other is more rapid and harsh (to symbolize coming back to reality).
Tis the damn season: this is a storyline song about someone (it’s the character dorothea) coming home for the holidays and revisiting a flame they always end up seeing when they come home. Taylor said that the character is a struggling actress who moved to LA to try and have a career (hence the bridge about ‘if i ever make it’). The person who they keep hooking up with gets a song from their perspective too, which is later in the album called dorothea.
Tolerate it: this is a storyline song that’s a little vague and no recurring characters. A lot of people are seeing an old-timey setting about a very mistreated housewife who constantly does things to make their partner feel loved and special but they do nothing in return except accept their praise. The bridge goes into them threatening to leave their partner but we are left not knowing what they will decide.
No body, no crime: pretty straightforward… taylor sings from the perspective of the friend of Este who has a husband who is cheating. The first verse is them saying ‘i know he’s cheating i just need to prove it’, the second verse is about the husband finding out his wife knows he’s cheating and killing her, the final part is about taylor knowing he killed her and then killing him in return.
Happiness: a lof of people are theorizing that this is about taylor relationship with her former record label owner scott. My tears ricochet is about him and this is about her evolving and growing and moving on. The line ‘I can't make it go away by making you a villain’ is about her realizing she cant stay mad at him forever and she needs to forgive and move on from him betraying her and selling her masters.
Dorothea: storyline and character! This is from the perspective of the hometown flame dorothea keeps coming back to. The song is basically saying that no matter what they’ll always be there for her when she needs them to be.
Coney island: storyline song about two people in a relationship who just can’t really get on the same page, they show up for each other at different times, they move on, they come back… a constant struggle over the years form when they were teenagers to adults…
Ivy: this a storyline song told from the perspective of a woman who is cheating on her husband with another person, and realizing she has to make a decision to leave or stay.
Cowboy like me: tells the story of two swindlers who fall in love through a cat-and-mouse fling “while hanging out at fancy resorts trying to score rich romantic beneficiaries”, also the male background vocals are marcus mumford from mumford & sons. She recorded the song in his studio and they’ve been friends for years so he just hoped on the song!
Long story short: autobiographical about her and joe and how much she’s grown since the whole 2016 era of her life.
marjorie : a song dedicated to her late grandmother who passed away when she was 13. Her grandmother was a famous opera singer and is credited in the song because, towards the end, she has a background vocal when taylor sings ‘i’d think you were singing to me now’.
Closure: this seems to be autobiographical and could be about many people who have wronged her in the past, my personal belief being kanye/scooter. Both of them have publicly reached out to her and tried to look good and play the victim/be the bigger person and this song is basically saying ‘i dont need to make you feel better about yourself so you could sleep at night, you did wrong and i can’t help you’
Evermore: not a lot of theories about this one yet, but whether it’s autobiographical or not, it seems to be about the journey from a period of deep depression and hurt to a place of hope and coming out of that!
Okay thank you for this but I’m not sure if I see the love triangle. They all feel like separate stories to me. Champagne problems is a relationship where one person turns down a proposal because they are scared of commitment, as you said. ‘‘Tis the damn season to me felt more like a couple who broke up after high school but during the holidays always come back together because they can’t get over that first love even though their life paths weren’t compatible. Dorothea seems more like the perspective of best friends that grew apart and one of them is saying I’ll always be there for you (also theories this is about Selena Gomez).
Anyways, loved your interpretations. These were just mine when I was listening to it! I don’t necessarily think this album is as focused on the storytelling and the continuation of stories as Folklore was. This one felt way more like Taylor or just relatable feelings in general about love lost or missed. That’s just my interpretation though.
Omg thanks for this
@@samanthaschumacher615 They just said that there is no love triangle in evermore. 😐
Uhm thank you!!! U are an angel
there is a theory that “closure” is abt her old record company, big machine records, hence the machine-like sounds in the bg. maybe taylor got a letter from them after folklore came out, perhaps they congratulated her and she was just like f u guys, i’m doing better, i don’t need u. just smth i saw:)
Taylor said Dorothea went to the same school as Ines, Betty and James, but their stories aren't connected
no you don’t understand they WILL be
@@allegrasmelody no that's alright I didn't need to sleep tonight anyways 😭
it hurts my heart that ivy and dorothea are at the bottom half of ur favourites list :’(
By the way these aren’t folklore rejects, she started writing these after folklore
Ash, “evermore” being a little sister to folklore doesn’t really mean that the songs here were supposed to be in folklore/almost made it/were scrap out of folklore. in fact, i think she mentioned somewhere that she started writing it after (like a week after) folklore dropped.
Loved the video! ❤️❤️❤️
coney island is one of my all-time favourites by her. SO UNDERRATED
It deserves so much better
not ash sleeping on ivy um-
CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW YOU ARE A NO BODY NO CRIME STAN. THE WAY THIS SONG IS SLEPT ONNN. ik your taste was superior idk why i ever doubted you
