  • A shorter version of my video on Sequels and Trilogies. In this video, I analyze the lyrics and story of three songs from Taylor Swift's Folklore Album -- Cardigan, August and Betty. These 3 songs are connected with each other and in fact they are telling the same storyline from different points of view.

    I love how Ms. Kara incorporates things that she loves to create informative content. Especially as a Swiftie myself, I understand Taylor's song deeper while learning something new.

    Yung timestamps in the trilogy blew me away 😍😍
    August @ 2:47 : "Get In The Car"
    Betty @ 2:47: "James Get In"
    ------------------------------------------
    Betty @ 3:13: "I'm here on your doorstep"
    Cardigan @ 3:13: "And you'd be standing in my front porch light"

    August: "So much for summer love"
    James: "It's just a summer thing."
    Ito talaga yung pinaka-masakit na part nung trilogy. August-girl loved James genuinely, pero si James, past time lang tingin sa kanya.

Now I won't argue with my friends anymore because even a JOURNALIST like you appreciates Taylor's talent and wit. I hope we could get more of this and you are an exceptional journalist, idk how to explain but everytime you speak, we listen because your words are very articulate. God bless you Ms. Kara and we're grateful having you as a co-swiftie!

      Never ever get validation from other people, even from your family or friends, for your preferences. If you want Taylor over Beyonce, Sinigang over Adobo, Starbucks over Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, or even Android over iPhone, just to fit in or for whatever reasons there may be. I stopped giving fuck about how people perceive me for my choices when I was just 10 years old. I realized I am awesome at a young age. Or maybe I was just an introvert child but a bit savage at the same time, or bcoz I'm a Swiftie and I know that I am unique and beautiful, who knows? 😂 It's not too late for you. You have your own identity and it's a great thing.

They say it's just a waste of time fangirling and buying merchandise for an artist and supporting her wholeheartedly when she has a lot of issues. But guys, it's Taylor Swift. She won't be awarded those Grammy's for no reason. She is called a lyric genius for a reason. I'm really proud that I stan this girl since I was little.

    High School ako nun nung na-willing sa pagsusulat. Feature writing ang contest na sinasalihan ko. Nanalo na rin tapos naging inspirasyon yun para kumuha sana ng kursong Communication sa college pero nauwi sa Education program dahil ito ang gusto ng magulang ko. Nung nagkaroon ng tv sa brgy namin dahil remote area kami tapos nakikinood lang ako sa kapitbahay, dun ako namulat at inaabangan lagi ang programang I-witness. I am always move and touch with the stories na pini-feature po ninyo. And since then naging huge fan po ninyo ako, Ms. Kara! Gustong-gusto ko lagi panoorin ang i-witness docus mo kasi iba ang rawness ng kwento o istorya. Sana isang araw maipagpatuloy ko pa rin ang pangarap kong maging newscaster or documentarist.

    I've never thought na Trilogy pala ang Betty, August, and Cardigan. Actually I felt some similarities with august and cardigan, just between these two and I've never known that august is also connected to the two songs. As what you ma'am Kara said these two were connected (as well as August), now I noticed also the line in Cardigan which says "To kiss in cars and downtown bars was all we needed, you drew stars around my scar but now I'm bleedin'-" then in betty the line " Standing in your cardigan(title of the first song-common-) kissin' in my car again, stop at a streetlight you know I miss you" these two looks similar by both lines also include the word "Cobblestone" arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh reviewing the lyrics again makes more sense now I know that Cardigan and Betty are both connected with August, makes me love you more miss Kara and Taylor argh such the best
