    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.

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 :))

    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

    Taylor Swift's song "Betty" evokes a sense of nostalgia within me, possibly due to its country music roots. It's like a musical time machine, taking me back to the days when Taylor's music had that delightful country twang, and it conjures memories of my idyllic childhood.

    So to recap, during the school prom in junior year, Betty and James go despite James not liking crowds, James sees Betty dancing with another boy which makes him feel jealous, he leaves the prom and Augustine pulls up to comfort him. Over the summer after junior year, James and Augustine start a secret relationship that's eventually seen by Inez, who tells Betty about it. Over the course of the summer, James and Augustine grow more distant despite Augustine still feeling real love for James. When school starts again for senior year, James breaks up with Augustine and tries to get back together with betty, but he then finds out that Betty knows because Inez told her. Betty breaks up with James and James is left heartbroken. James constantly tries to get Betty back but Betty is constantly rejecting him, even going so far as to change her homeroom class so she doesn't see him. Eventually sometime during senior year Betty is having a party as it's established she's very outgoing and loves crowds, James gets the courage to show up and ask for her forgiveness, simultaneously taking the blame and rejecting it (you can't believe a word she says most times but this time it was true, I'm only 17 I don't know anything). It's unclear if Betty takes him back but we can easily assume she didn't. Augustine is left heartbroken after being used as a rebound for a relationship James was still in, Betty is heartbroken because she was cheated on, and James is heartbroken because he was rejected. Each character starts their part of the story by making a mistake that becomes an even greater mistake, dancing with another boy when your boyfriend is already socially anxious, hitting on someone you know is in a relationship, and cheating on your girlfriend. But over the course of the story each character is left with broken hearts and a love triangle that can't be fixed.

    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.

    Reading through the comments re: the connection between this and Cardigan, and like...WOW. My mind is blown.
    So basically Taylor's not just making albums of songs.
    She's making anthologies of stories.
    It's almost scary how beautiful and brilliant this woman's mind is.

    One of my favs of all Taylor's songs and Folklore is the best album she has ever put out. Folklore helped me deal with so much loss and devastation I went through in 2020.

    Like the majority of Folklore, "Betty" displays vivid storytelling. It is one of the three tracks on the album that depicts a fictitious storyline, it refers to as the "teenage love triangle", along with "Cardigan" and "August". These three tracks narrate the story of the same love triangle from the perspectives of each of the characters involved, at different times in their lives. "Betty" is the tale from the perspective of the cheating boyfriend James, who had a "summer fling" with the unnamed female narrator of "August", and debates "show[ing] up at her party" to reconcile with her. James apologizes about his past mistakes but does not fully own up to them, citing his agoraphobia and Betty's "wandering eye" as excuses. James has lost the love of his life basically and doesn't understand how to get it back. This is a song that I wrote from the perspective of a 17-year-old boy. I've always loved that in music you can kinda slip into different identities and you can sing from other people's perspectives. So that's what I did on this one....."Taytay".

    Got to say, "August" made it really hard to be mad at the "other woman". Love is the cruel one and Taylor knows it.
