- Taylor Swift dropped an enchanted music video for her new song “Cardigan,” the lead single from her surprise 8th studio album “Folklore.” The music video is full of Easter eggs from the other songs on “Folklore,” including “Invisible String,” “The 1,” “The Last Great American Dynasty,” “Seven,” and “Epiphany.” The “Cardigan” video makes several references to her past work too, including using imagery similar to her music videos for “Delicate,” “Out Of The Woods,” and “ME!” and lyrics similar to past songs “Call It What You Want,” and “Sad, Beautiful, Tragic.” “Cardigan” also appears to reference the classic children’s story “Peter Pan” and even musician Harry Styles’ recent music video for his song “Falling.”

Stars on her scars, because she wears her heart on her sleeves.
YES! wow
Awwww! So accurate
Kyle Kerchaert love these Taylor videos 👏
such sayings that have been around forever, not her just coming up with them
@@CocoKoi321 go spread ur negativity elsewhere
She directed this MV
She's not only genius when it comes to songwriting and production
Singer, creative direction, record producer, political speaker, model, business woman
So much talent

Drew Sifur do you even know what a simp is?

Can we give a round of applause to the editor of this video?! Honestly Insider always does such an incredible job on these TSwift analysis videos
@Kyle Kerchaert that video was 10/10
I always miss these parts of her videos, so it's very cool when I watch these and notice all the careful planning and Easter eggs that Taylor Swift puts into her videos I think 😊
Such efforts in so many aspects, not just lyrics but she's so brilliant with her Easter eggs and clues. A blessing.
She can win oscar for her MV's
If that category existed
@@ForteExpresso I swear she should tho
almost as if it's all staged
H J 🙄 love when ppl are so obsessed with something that they relate everything back to it and assume people can’t come up with creative things on their own. She has always been like this...literally her whole life, she’s been a storyteller. This isn’t something new for her. She’s always used symbolism and clues in her music videos because those types of things are naturally how she sees life. I’m the same way, and if I could make music videos, I could see myself doing the same thing because I view life very much through this kind of lens and making connections etc. We are all different, and just because some people show creativity in similar ways DOESNT mean that is what inspired them. Unless she said it, don’t assume it...same goes for anybody, don’t assume anything with anybody and realize that everybody has a different perspective individual to their experiences/interests/life/personality/background/struggles/opportunities/traumas/and unique self etc. As the saying goes, _when we assume, we make an ass outta u and me._
H J K-pop? Lmao I doubt she got inspired by K-pop.
Because Taylor is more than just a singer. She is everything.
@Ethan Hunt sad life

@@CocoKoi321 oh so stanning an artist makes u a simp now?
i like this narrator. her voice is so satisfying to listen to.
Same
Insider should make a different playlist for Taylor alone😂🤟
@Kyle Kerchaert should we start Taylor Swift Insider? 🤔
Isn't she is so smart to do all these things at once, in a single blow?
Taylor swift is one of the most intelligent and smart artist who know how to connect memories and feelings with music and visuals 💓
Light Zero I mean, she isn’t. She’s quite a smart person, especially musically and in the music industry.
@Light Zero i bet you couldn't even write a decent song.
@Light Zero watch any interview she has ever done...then edit this comment please
@Light ZeroDumbness is genetic in your family so dont be jealous
@Light Zero if she was dumb, people wouldn't be out here trying to figure out her lyrics and videos
she’s by far the most passionate musician i know. she’s a living legend and a genius. PROTECT TAYLOR SWIFT AT ALL COSTS.
I´m swiftie and didn´t even notice half of those facts oops, well thanks for the video
Same! 😂
Same🤣
Me too😅
I swear....but then I feel we can be swifties without actively being able to find out the hidden meanings and easter eggs. It really is a hardworking job to be have such eye for details.
@@rashiava sometimes we figure stuff out that the FBI couldn't even find out tho
I think she is among those few American singers who actually want their listeners to understand the lyrics into the depth by using various metaphors.
Other singers
Sexualize
Copy others
Buy someone's song lyrics
Use half nude girl and showoff cars
Clubbing
Etc
I love Taylor's music and I agree that her songs use lots of metaphors and are very emotional but I don't think you should bring other artists down in order to be able to compliment Taylor. There are lots of great artists who write songs about meaningful things
Love her so much but she is not the only one who does this. Check out twenty one pilots where the easter eggs is as complicated or ever more..this is why i love these artists. They trust their fanbase to be smart asses so there is no room for fakeness and easy hunting.
Yeah but she’s crazy vengeful (bad blood, etc.)
@@aanya3248 Bad blood is a female empowering anthem whr women support each others.. Its just the point of view, u project what has been inside your head from the media..and whats the etc? Ran out of options? 🤣
@@ellapiispanen7273 sorry, I edited it our now
But there are still many singers who show things in their MV that are not even related to their lyrics. I appreciate Taylor's way of communication alot
Its so hard to be a swiftie when you're dumb. She's too talented and smart. I can't lol
That's why i never be a swiftie.. because i'm dumb 😭
@@titasuraida2242 we can't keep up with her brain. But her music still slaps so we're here for it.
@@rlojhan indeed👍
Dumb Swiftie here 🤣
😂 I'm literally laughing out loud because I was thinking the same thing: "do all the other swifties just understand her lyrics immediately? Do they pick up on the meaning behind her videos right away? I guess I'm just dumb." 😂
Here's 2 more: "Sequin smile, black lipstick." describes her outfit she wore in the 2016 Met Gala, there she met her boyfriend Joe Alwyn. "Sensual politics." Is about how she has remained silent about politics during her career, that changed though in 2018 when she took a stand against a Republican in her home state. (I got these from Genius :>)
This is why I love Taylor Swift, she has the ability to connect her works,life,career and etc. She just don't include something in her works and in everything she does without a reason. She think everything through thats why she can produce excellent works.♥️ God bless you queen👑

Need a dedicated series "Decoding Tylor"
YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
Amen
I was eagerly waiting for INSIDER'S video!!!!!!

💕💖💕
Cardigan: "You drew stars around my scars but now im bleeding "
The 1 : "If you never bleed, you're never gonna grow "
Yes!!
Cruel summer: and if i bleed you'd be the last to know
@@provmarketingunlimited4847 possibly false god!he lived/live s in west village new york
@@provmarketingunlimited4847 cruel summer is like the grown up version of better, garden gate, car etc. she just made it into a childish version i think!!! i think she was seeing joe and harry and she left harry before he could leave her (bc of how was in the past)
SOBBING
"The stake are high, the waters rough. But this love is ours" the stormy scene
You guys are just so good in decoding all the easter eggs
I think the flashing lightning during the rough waters scene could also symbolize the flashes of paparazzi cameras just watching and photographing the whole thing while she is drowning in one of the roughest times of her life
Imagine these Easter eggs were just a coincidence and even Swift didn’t intentionally did some? 😂
She is Taylor Swift everything she does has a meaning.
- 14 Years of being a swiftie
Lana Swift I’ve been a swiftie too for 13 years, I’m just saying some could be 🤷🏼♀️😂
@@Cruel.summer13 right🤣
@@evanswift6758 you like lana del rey too?
@@elyshannah9034 yes 😂
Based on the music video.
0:20 -- The clock with its arrows pointing at number 1 and 3. Yes, 13. Easter egg. Did you also notice the number *8* on the clock which is somehow being highlightened if you look at it closely? Easter egg! She might be releasing something new any day around the month of August which is the 8th month.
3:45 -- Stars on her cardigan. These has been an easter egg since her Lover era. Remember that one blue outfit with white stars on it that she wore for the album cover photoshoot session? How about those shiny colorful stars on her black themed outfit when she performed on BBC Radio 1 last year? There's also more, other than those examples.
2:02 -- Lines in the song
"to kiss in cars and downtown bars was all we needed"
*I'm drunk in the back of the car and I cried like a baby coming home from the bar*
"you drew stars around my scars but now I'm bleeding"
*and if I bleed you'll be the last to know*
Going back to the star symbols! ☆☆☆
These lines in the song must be her easter eggs as well. Yes I'm talking about the possibility that Cruel Summer might still be having a music video very soon, if not this August!
Imma wearing some clown costumes now :)
we should NEVER give up on a Cruel Summer music video 😤
The 8 on the clock is probably referencing TS8
And the final lyric referencing Joes film the favourite?
Ok did anyone see the paper air planes? Or is it just me? It’s when she’s going into the seat when she’s about to go into the rough waters if I’m making sense
adorelouie 28 not OP but at 5:01 you can see a paper plane
Why is no one talking about how she is dressed like Wendy and Harry flew like Peter Pan in his video!?
omg
From “clean” to I’m doin fine I’m on some new shit (Joe). Also in clean it talks about being under water screaming and that is what Harry does in his Falling video.
And who else was constantly in vintage tees? I think Harry is her muse for a lot
Also on the video Diaries of one direction Harry stated that he wished to be Peter Pan.
Star-crossed lovers
I love these videos, Taylor Swifts videos are full of secrets.......
I was seriously waiting for insider to release release this cause I know they are so legit
ahhh thank you so much😭💕
If you look closely, at 5:00 under the chair, there’s a paper airplane. :)
Her brilliance is just on another level.. really wish she could release music even more often. Such a blessing to the world
also, if you pause at 0:44 there’s a teal colours shirt hanging up referencing invisible string ‘’teal was the colour of the shirt you wore at sixteen in the yoghurt shop’ her MIND
Life's too short to pretend NOT to like Taylor Swift's music 😁
"she's made it to the other side just fine". Yes, she did :')
Taylor's lyrics and metaphors are what makes her one of the greatest artists of all times. Period.
This is an artist should look like, not only singing things.
Also, the flashes of light when she was in the ocean was paparazzi lights
She is mysterious, smart, and so deep.....
We love her very deep
I love when my favorite artists drop some music , but when taylor does it’s way much fun! you get all these clues and dots to connect + meaningful music and lyrics and also the videos are always entertaining, can u believe she did this video while quarantined and also she did her hair and makeup , wow a real true artist ,
The music video for cardigan reminds me of Harry Styles’ ‘falling’ music video
when taylor's videos have more symbolism than most movies
The water in the piano looks like it is actually falling INTO it.
We're highly suspicious that you are Taylor swift 😂
Ikr haha
LOL i wish 😂
Haha
At 5:01 you can a see a paper plane beneath the seat. Paper planes have always symbolised Harry and Taylor's relationship. Is that an Easter egg?
I think that’s just her dress
its just her dress CHILL:)
Dude it does look like a paper plane! If anyone knows Taylor we know we can’t just pass off the small details because she’s puts so much thought into everything, even the things you think are “just her dress” good find 🥰🥰
@@treearoha exactly! Thank you!
ALSO I’ve watched the clip several times and considering they used CGI for this clip, by time she climbed into the seat her whole dress should have been inside as well, but you see a paper plane being formed and she goes down. With CGI you can get all the little details hence why it’s used for scenes like this. Having her dress make a paper plane is not a coincidence, it’s done on purpose I believe. Another Easter egg!
Water keeps memories - Frozen 2
Great decoding video! Well done! I didn't see the Peter Pan references before.
She's so amazing. What good deed have we done to deserve her???😭😭
*CREDITS TO THE REAL OWNER*
'folklore' album might be a folk story about the history of the previous owner of Taylor Swift's Rhode Island house *"holiday house" (as told in three parts: The Affair, James' Arch, and Aftermath.)
characters: Betty, James, and Inez
THE AFFAIR
august - the beginning of Inez and James' affair.
mirrorball - describing the things James and Inez is doing.
betty - James finds out that Betty knows about his affair with Inez and tries to apologize.
cardigan - Betty finds out about the affair of James and Inez but doesn't take it well.
illicit affairs - Inez is recounting her affair with James from her point of view.
exile - Betty and James talks to each other and officially ends their relationship.
the 1 - Betty is now over with James and is trying to move on.
JAMES' ARCH
this is me trying - James is desperate to make things right with Betty but it's not working.
peace - James thinks that the way for Him and Betty to be at peace is for him to leave town. So he joins the army. (James and Betty's story might have happened in the mid 1900's)
epiphany - James
dies in battle.
my tears ricochet - James' funeral.
hoax - Betty goes crazy after not being able to process the death of James.
AFTERMATH
mad woman - Betty leaves town and moved to Rhode Island. (Context about her moving to Rode island is from TLGAD)
seven - Taylor Swift is born in Pennsylvania and experiencing her childhood.
invisible string - Taylor Swift talks about her adult life and her relationship with Joe Alwyn. (A reference of how she and Betty/James are unknowingly connected.)
the last great american dynasty - Betty is now deceased and Taylor then bought Betty's Rhode island house.
REBEKAH HARKNESS, the lady who originally owned the Rode Island house before Taylor, went "Betty". So the idea of Betty being Rebekah owning the house prior to Taylor checks out!
Great theory but I don’t think any of this could be from the 1900s because of the ‘brand new phone’ lyric
I like the analogy but there are only three songs related to the love triangle imo, peace is definitely about Joe, how she is constantly in the spotlight, etc
I LOVE THIS!!! THANK YOU💖🎶
Yess I was waiting for the Insider video!!
insider should decode taylor's whole discography! this is so well-made
Taylor Swift is indeed a great artist. The lyrics, the mv, and herself are on point expressing her feelings. That’s why I’m a Swiftie *
Haylor will always be golden
Thank you INSIDER, once again :-)
thank you for watching!💖
Hmmm, Taylor Swift is such a mysterious woman.
The thing I missed was the music video
Go watch it clown
Insider made me search for the MV
I noticed that it’s the 7th note that was broken on the keys of the piano ~ possibly referencing how the Lover (her 7th album) era was stopped or broken due to uncertainty
I knew you guys would post this. ❤️
she really knows how to make a story, everything connects to everything. very smart
I truly love it because music really gets to everyone and every time I hear the line Peter losing Wendy..... ahhhhh my heart I want to cry it’s so beautiful!!!
Very well done research. There were a ton of easter eggs i didnt know about lol
Thanks🧡
Aaaaaa I'm so happy right now I really love your videos and when you explain things it's just super cool I really love taylor music and videos but it always difficult for me to get the hints and Easter eggs and you guys save me every time 😂💙💙💙
Thank you for watching!!!!💙
@@irenekim9344
💙💙💙
@Kyle Kerchaert 💙💙💙
this is just smart.
Guys watch falling x cardigan u will have a goosebumps while listening to it
such an amazing video can't believe it has only 475 views!
I am amazed on your researching and Easter egg-hunting skills. Just wow.
I needed this.. thank you
I saw a post on insta that said the broken/cut in half key (B) is the seventh key in the C major scale, which possibly represents her seventh album Lover and how the Lover era was cut short due to COVID-19. Thought that was a really cool and fun little detail!
you missed the paper airplane that forms from the pixie dust on the bench... ;-)
all i've listened to over the past 4/5 days is folklore on repeat - now it sounds weird when it's on shuffle or i hear the songs by themselves because I've just come to expect the ones that come next on the track list
the awkward glitter wasn't only in cardigan or delicate it was in the archer too shes hiding a something a big thing needs to be explored and i am so exciting for somebody to discover it
So true taylor swift loves harry styles.
Not anymore, Lover and London boy (Songs abour being in love) are about her boyfriend Joe Alwun (she's been with him for 3 years).
Harry and Taylor were together just for months, and I don't think this M/V has nothing do with him because Cardigan is the perspective of a fictional character Betty
So sad they broke up because of the media pressure and outside interference. If they dated when they're older and more experienced perhaps they might have their happy ending.
Oh well, I'm still glad Taylor got Joe and hopefully Harry will find someone too.
HL N. Can you name his songs for her?
@@whitecat5695 'two ghosts'
@@blinkspyblackpink4613 yeah I agree with you but... Harry is also British,so what if "London boy" was about him ( idk lol ,don't mind me)
Great dissertation! I would also love to add to this the train track reference in the Archer. “I jump from the train, I ride off alone, I never grew up, it’s getting so old” YET ANOTHER PETER PAN REFERENCE that was hinting at this album before she even knew it would exist. Spectacular.
This has been the best explanation of this video. Great job and thanks.
The whole music video seems to me like a "reference" to Out Of The Woods MV, especially the beginning and end.
This was really great! (Your analysis and her video 👗🧚🏻♂️🕸🌳🌲🌿☘️🌱✨)
The more you know about this song.... the more you fall in love with it..
At 4:59 u can c a paper plane on the piano bench
This is the best Easter egg video I've ever watched. Usually they're really annoying but I watch them to see what I've missed however this one was pleasant and I enjoyed watching it
She's the smartest person eveeer... I LOVE HER SO MUCH
Best decoding video I have seen so far 🙌
The speakers voice is so gentle and soothing. I didn't realize I was paying so much attention until the video ended.
Omg I missed so much of these details !
Do you guys see the paper airplane at 5:01 on the piano bench? Taylor and Harry used to wear matching paper airplane necklaces👀
The one who does this analysis is true swifties. Hats up
I WAS LITERALLY JUST SEARCHED FOR INSIDER FOR TAYLOR'S EASTER EGG!!! BUT AS THEY DIDN'T UPLOADED, I STARTED WATCHING CLEVER NEWS'S VIDEO!!!!
AND GUESS WHAT!!!! I WAS JUST WATCHING AND GOT INSIDER'S NOTIFICATION!!!!!!!!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️
lol,i just found you in youtube
@@reyvennmarasigan5896 The world seems smaller, when it's at your fingers...
I mean out of the woods this mv
Harry styles entered the chat
IT IS ALSO SIMILAR TO ALICE IN WONDERLAND THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS!!
Como é que a Taylor é tao inteligente e tem tanta criatividade?!
The anthem of relationship between love and fantasy. What an masterpiece!
omg i have never thought like this!!! beautiful interpersonal
i love how she connects all of that in one song. i mean, every songs of her are almost connected to the other songs or whatevah. i love her.
ok but what about how in ‘betty’ she says “i’m only seventeen, i don’t know anything” and in ‘cardigan’ she says “i knew everything when i was young” and “when you are young they assume you know nothing”
I think in 'betty' that is actually james pov. james trying to talk to betty bc inez said to betty rumours about james cheating and james confirm it true so he want to apologize. so he said "im only 17, i dont know anything but i know miss you". correct me if im wrong😃
Hera sorry yes i did mean how in ‘betty’ james says “i’m only 17 i don’t know anything” and in ‘cardigan’ betty says “i knew everything when i was young”. thank you for the reply :))
i love this interpretation but i also love how the narrator made it sound so magical ❤️
I was crying the entire video 😭❤
Thanks insider.
For this beautiful intellectual video.
From a Swiftie, with love
❤
Soooooo much f love
This is so beautiful. ☺️ Thank you!
Thank u insider! Ive been waiting for
Taylor never disappoints.
Perfectly powerful music video!
Amazing young woman. Amazing! ❤️
whether you’re a swiftie or not, you have to admit that there was a least one line that you enjoyed in the song
You describe this so amazingly
Please describe her other songs too.
The videography is amazing. I want a waterproof piano too!
