    I still love that the dominant instrument on this song is an acoustic guitar cus it adds to the whole vibe of like a literal teen boy writing this in his bedroom to win back the girl he lost. like most teen boys own or play guitar. The lyrics with Tay Tay are always great but this one is a smart arrangement and smart instrumentation. She is an actual genius.

      Betty, I won’t make assumptions About why you switched your homeroom but I think it’s ‘cause of me Betty, one time I was riding on my skateboard When I passed your house It’s like I couldn’t breathe You heard the rumors from Inez You can’t believe a word she says Most times, but this time it was true The worst thing that I ever did Was what I did to you But if I just showed up at your party Would you have me? Would you want me? Would you tell me to go 🦆 myself? Or lead me to the garden? In the garden would you trust me If I told you it was just a summer thing? I’m only 17, I don’t know anything But I know I miss you

    I absolutely love how August, Betty and cardigan link together. Each song offers an insight into the charectars, and I can't help feel a little sorry for all of them. James is socially awkward and immature, Betty knows this and chooses to dance with another boy. As a result James is jealous and starts a summer fling with August, who is infatuated with James and is aware he is in a relationship. All the charectars are flawed and yet this makes for such an interesting dynamic, and might I add absolute masterpieces :))

    Taylor is one year older than me, so by the time she wrote, recorded, and released her songs, they hit me at the exact right time in my life. I’ve been a fan since the first time I heard “Tim McGraw” on the radio when I was 15. I legitimately played “22” on repeat for half a year, when I turned 22. I will be 30 this year and this album makes me feel so nostalgic for my teen years, and bittersweet about my twenties that are almost over.
    Thank you, Taylor.

    normally i don't like love triangles because of the way they're usually done but i'm making an exception for the triangle in folklore -- you can feel deep inside what james and betty felt during the triangle and see why they've done things during it and how they've dealt with the triangle, even if you agree with them or not. taylor's beautiful storytelling makes it that the whole story is fleshed out and understood by its listeners, which is hard to come across in the music industry. i actually think that the triangle is one of the main reasons why i love folklore so much

    James hated the crowd and in wildest dreams the first two lines were
    'He said let's get out of this town, drive out of the city, away from the crowds'
    Which brings us to james and august girl.

    Inez is the friend we all need. She's the only one who told Betty about the rumors going around. Of course James tries to throw her under the bus by saying 'You cant believe a thing she says, most times.' Yeah I'd try to discredit the person who exposed my bad behavior too if I was James.

      it's implied that she spreads rumors around about everything, and they usually aren't true, and Inez isn't trustworthy

    The fact that Taylor wrote this for Ryan and Blake Reynolds’ children is the best friendship thing ever (the song is also about Blake)
