I like it but it’s a little dull and forgettable. It’s a nice song though. And yeah I think it’s about her own insecurities and her career (“I can change everything about me to fit in,” “I’m still on that tightrope, trying everything to keep you looking at me”). Those lines reflect a lot on what she discussed in Miss Americana about needing to stay relevant in the music industry and how after she turns 30, she fears she won’t be successful anymore. Which is funny because folklore is the first album of her 30s and it’s broken several records, gone #1, and produced a #1 single, with no promo or advanced release.

OMG!!! She's in her 30s? Seems like she was just a teenager, like, yesterday.

I think I’m ready to order them, but don’t read too much into this cos every song is a solid 9/10 and above -
My Tears Ricochet August Cardigan The Last Great American Dynasty Exile Mad Woman Mirrorball This Is Me Trying Betty Illicit Affairs Invisible String The 1 Hoax Peace Seven Epiphany
I’d say every song down to The 1 is “one of my favourites on the album” so yeah. The last lot are all insane still but I don’t listen as much as the rest. Still listen a lot though lol.

That’s the problem, I LOVE Betty but the whole albums so flawless I end up putting songs I adore near the bottom #taylorswiftproblems other than a few absolute faves (cardigan/MTR/August) my lists basically by how much I listen to them, but then i still listen to the whole album pretty much daily lol Thanks re the lakes!!

The Lakes is nice. I can see why it was a bonus track.
Just want to say something that's been on my mind. I wonder if we'll ever hear the end of her getting screwed over. I understand completely and I love the tracks we are getting because of it. But I'm also sure she's got it better than the many who have been screwed over in the music industry. And like it's kind of worrying she holds on so deeply to that feeling of being betrayed or bested by others (hoax). She's so rich and successful and she always ends up wining in the end. But like girl let some things go. Or perhaps music is her way of letting go. Idk, I'm not complaining because I love the content we're getting just kind of curious about it. I'm sure Katy Perry, Kimye, Scooter, Scott, her many "lovers" won't be the last who do something to piss her off. Either way, it's kind of cool she's made a legacy out of it all. It's kind of like the rap world where their feuds influence their music except this feels way more raw. I don't think any popstar has marked their history in their music as much as Taylor. It's cool that her music really does tell her story.
Sorry long ramble 🙂. I couldn't stop thinking about it.

Now I can listen to the lakes in decent quality I quite like it. My grandparents have a holiday cottage in Windermere so we grew up going there most years and I go back now with my boyfriend so it being referenced in a song by such a huge artist is kinda cool. The “tell me what are my wordsworth” line is just ridiculously clever

It's cool that her music really does tell her story. Sorry long ramble 🙂. I couldn't stop thinking about it. I agree she’s got it better than most, however I also think that’s why she is very vocal about being able to own her work. Because if things like this are happening to an artist of Taylor’s level, imagine what’s happening to small artists who don’t have the luxury of being able to speak up like her. It’s because of her, for example, that Apple changed their policy on paying artists during free trial periods and Republic Records agreed to change some policy regarding streaming shares or something. Taylor is one of the few who’s in a position to be able to fight for these issues without losing profit or getting blackballed. So I think she isn’t only fighting for these issues for herself, but for all artists.

You guys really are making Great points. I love reading others opinions about folklore and T-Swizz in general. The list are great too but I must be weird because Seven is way up the list for me. Or maybe I’m just a simpleton.
