"What are you doing with the magnifying glass?"
"Nothing, just reading the lyrics from the folklore lyric videos"
"Oh okay"
Hi all please check my cover of her song you need to calm down 🎶❤️😍 I’m learning more Taylor
😂
Underrated comment lol
Haha
😂😂😂❤
Best lyricist of her generation
That's quite a controversial and debatable topic you happened to bring up friend
@@brycehaden8274 shhh! Let people enjoy things ...
@noob I’m sorry but Taylor is so much better at writing than Lana , Lana is an amazing lyricist but Taylor is better
@noob lana is amazing overall, but if you just takes the lyrics Taylor's definitely better.
@noob samee
This is not a song, this is poetry
Technically a song is poetry. Lyrical poetry. But i can understand what you mean.
@@nahuelconstantine The song is about the Lake District in England and Taylor is celebrating why many of the great poets went there (Wordsworth, Coleridge, Ruskin etc). I think that's why people are referring to "poetry" a lot.
They started out as the same thing to be fair, although yes this song is especially beautiful.
THIS
@@TonyEnglandUKRuskin who..🤔
taylor didn't write "while I bathe in cliffside pools with my calamitous love and insurmountable grief" for you to just sleep on the lakes.
Honestly!!!!!!
fr, this song is probably one of them most beautiful songs she's ever written
Tbf, I think this one is something she intended just for the fans. Normies can get fecked
What does it mean? Enlighten me, not a native speaker
@@cahya5747 Calamitous often means "destructive," but in this case it is exaggeration. Insurmountable means, to my knowledge, "overwhelming," or "too much to deal with"
Taylor doesn't even warn us at this point I woke up to this.
Literally same.
Pls search for the lakes but you're on Windermere Lakes and it's raining
As me 😂🌝
Bro same!
same😭
Taylor Swift: *releases folklore*
Me, a non-English speaker: *vocabulary level up* ⬆️
I agreeee
me, an english speaker: vocabulary level-up
TRUEEEE
I definitely relate 😂
Exactly. Sometimes I think she works with a dictionary😂😂
"the lakes" and "seven" would have been Emily Dickinson's favorite TS songs
Omg they are literally my 2 favorite songs in the album
+ ivy
aAaAaAaAa this made me smile :)) YESSS she will definitely love this and "Ivy" from evermore ♡
those are my two favorites 😭
She would've been a Swiftie too :D
the literature nerds really enjoyed this album didn't they
edit: love to all of you literature nerds, I loved english and wanted to major in English literature but my parents didn't allow that, still I love this album and evermore with all my heart
oh we loved it
Totally
Indeed
Thank you so much Taylor!!!
Yeah, we did.😊😆
Sis, this is not The Album of The Year. This is the Album of my Life.
Please check out my cover of you need to calm down 🎶❤️
Exactly 😍😍💝💓
Mine is 1989..
Pls search for The Lakes by Taylor Swift buy you're on Windermere Lakes and it's raining
Sis 🥰
Honestly, she is teaching me more English vocabulary than what they teach us at school...
WHY DON'T WE STREAM?
Completamente
I can't tell if this is a compliment to Taylor Swift or evidence that Taylor Swift fans don't read much
hey angels,i made the 8d version of this,could you pls check it out
Chris Birch well in my case it’s a compliment to her, I read basically non-stop, and I still learned new words from her...
Folklore made me feel like i was in a countryside living in a vintage house with beautiful flowers with butterflies dancing around as the warm glow of the sun spluttered on the land
That's the beautiful scenery this masterpiece of pure art conjures up
No wonder folklore is my top favorite album. The way you described it is exactly how I picture my dream life would be. 😭🤍
You defined everything at once
So true
folklore reminds me of Rhode island at the beach where her house is and just like summer but not like bright sunny summer for me its like how the beach is in the morning when the sky is overcast and its windy, people say its like a winter album but for me its my summer album because it reminds me of my summers that ive spent in rhode island and in mystic conneticut with my mimi and my family
Same ♥
I used to think Taylor Swift was overrated and never really checked out her works. This is my strongest regret how did I miss out from listening these masterpieces A lyrical genius literally
She's really a genius.
True! Her famous hits overshadows a lot of her songs and even her vocal ability. She's a great songwriter and storyteller
@@ATWTMVTVFTVSGAVRALPS let see the vault tracks from 1989 Taylor’s Version bcs we're afraid about them all, how it sounds
You are funny fanatics using the word genius to describe an average overrated pop singer. Let's reserve the term genius for true geniuses like Lennon and Dylan OK?
@@thegoughandbordenfamily8234 "Taylor Swift received the Songwriter-Artist of the Decade award at the during the annual Nashville Songwriters award on Tuesday. The star-studded ceremony was held at the Ryman Auditorium in Tennessee on September 20, 2022"
You were saying?
Taylor: THE LAKES LYRICS VIDEO
my blind self: where are the lyrics
It takes me a while to find the lyrics 😂
Me: what is this lyrics mean?
same af,, my brain cells too jeezus
Same! Took me awhile to find it. 😂
I mean.. this video is like all the rest of her lyric videos for this album
Taylor be expanding my vocabulary more than my English teacher lol
HAHAHAHAHAH
Kashvi Rateria agreed
I realized this too. While in the former albums i basically knew all of the words here i have to look into a dictionary more often ;)
LOL 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm not even bothered to look in the dictionary, just gonna go with the flow and guess the meanings of the words
The lakes basically symbolise an escapism to someplace safe and calm during the pandemic.
You can feel it. uWu
The song itself about the English Lake District…. Hence the reference to “poets” ( like Wordsworth) ….and Windermere
I live in the lakes :)
Love the comment buttheuwuwasunnecessarybutalrightiguessyoudoyou🦅
What pandemic??
@@andypark4431 I live in the Lake District, too. For those who don't know it well, find some images of "Lake District, England" and you'll see how beautiful it really is.
This song sounds old. Gives me a feeling of old times, when everything was simple. Maybe going out and buying the record of the song. Playing it while you sit in the chair outside your porch enjoying a nice cup of tea and something to eat. Lovely weather by your side, to make you feel comfortable while you listen to this melodious tune. :')
This song feels like bridgeton and pride and prejudice tbh
oh my..you describe it so perfectly
Taylor singing the lakes
Me: The more that you say, the less I know
lmao
@@madonnaswift4768 I laughed too hard at this...
LMAO 🤣🤣
LMAO
Lol 😆 😂😂😂😂
Did Oxford dictionary sponsor taylor's albums ?
They would've had millions of increase in users after folklore and Evermore hahaha
@@inaekim1937 well, are you saying students buy dictionaries for taylor swift and not for their education? 😆
@@jackieburkhart3268 at least for me bc I'm more passionate about Taylor than my Literature class 😂
@@inaekim1937 actually, yeah. i learnt a lot of new words from taylor.
@@jackieburkhart3268 same lol
Linguistically lavish. Taylor has found a new level of her authenticity.
As someone who grew up in the Lake District listening to Taylor Swift, this song makes me weak with how much i love it
I live in the Lake District and I barely knew anything about Taylor Swift, I think she did a majestic job with the lyrics.
I live in England but My mums from Scotland so everytime I go up there and pass the signs directing towards the lakes district I start yelling the chorus
Taylor: *releases the lyric video for "the lakes"*
Me: lemme bring my dictionary
And magnifying glasses😪
@@anjalitanwar715 oh, yes! 😂
i literally just looked up what wisteria look like ahaha
I am 😆
Taylor: hold my bonus track
Swiftie: hold my dictionary
Omg this is so accurate 😂
the Ielts
Omg😂
Fun fact: Taylor released this song when I was in a cabin. I repeat:
I. First. Listened. To. This. Song. In. A. LOG CABIN.
Lucky
you're living the dream luv
must've been 1000000% better and magical
I'm jealous.
bruh
Whenever I hear this song, it gives me the vibe of pursuing poetry.
Yeah all I want to do is read poetry by a graveyard,there is one by my school but I’m not able to get there
@@Hecateofcrossroads we'll find our way back to poetry, my fellow lost soul.
she’s not a pop girl, she’s a legend
Woah! You're an arianator as well as a swiftie like me? Yay!
@@mahikashakya yess!!!
@@mahikashakya swifties x arianators foreverr
@@AnaMaria-ed1de yaaass!!
pfft
When you thought that Folklore is already perfect as it is, but then you heard The Lakes. It takes you to a higher level of perfection.
Wishing for 5 more albums like folklore, coz folklore is the one I've been waiting for since Red
Is anything beyond perfect?...I thought perfect was the end
@@manali6402 says the one who couldn't even perfect simple punctuation rules.
I had the exact same thought after listening 💜
@@justincera1770 please enlighten me
we all know taylor was a poet in her past life
When she said "calamitous love and insurmountable grief" it feels so damn luxurious ✨
"Is it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me"
*Elegies*- sorrowful poems/ speech (in her case, her songs)
*Eulogize*- praise someone in a speech or writing
Meaning of this entire line- She is saying, isn't it beautiful how all her sad songs (about her and for her) end up embracing who she actually is.
Wow that’s absolutely gorgeous... One thing about Taylor is she has always known how to write such wonderful sad songs. Tied together with a Smile, Teardrops on my Guitar, All too Well.
Now that's enlightening
imagine a bee king 👑
Damn, that's deep
My mom said if my last song will get 5.000 Iikes, she will buy me a new microphone, I really need that microphone
Taylor drops another song:
My dictionary: looks like you need me again
okay but did you lie tho lmao
😂
More like I need google 😂
Oof so relatable
Mood
did anyone notice how in hoax, she says stood on the cliffside screaming give me a reason, and in the lakes, she says i bathe in cliffside pools with my calamitous love and insurmountable grief
to jump off the cliff, whatever it takes
Is it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me?
I'm not cut out for all these cynical clones
These hunters with cell phones
Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die
I don't belong, and my beloved, neither do you
Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
I'm setting off, but not without my muse
What should be over burrowed under my skin
In heart-stopping waves of hurt
I've come too far to watch some namedropping sleaze
Tell me what are my words worth
Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die
I don't belong, and my beloved, neither do you
Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
I'm setting off, but not without my muse
I want auroras and sad prose
I want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet
'Cause I haven't moved in years
And I want you right here
A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground
With no one around to tweet it
While I bathe in cliffside pools
With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief
Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die
I don't belong, and my beloved, neither do you
Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
I'm setting off, but not without my muse
No, not without you
Me: *has online class*
Taylor: ✨🤍🍂the lakes lyric video🍂🤍✨
Me: *leaves online class*
I Did the same thing
Yes
Me too💛
girl- f the teacher. taylor is more important :)
Me too
She's not just a singer/writer she is also a poet and a story teller.
Little Cute Sky trueeee 😍
Has always been
True
Exactly, like everything in “Folklore” sounds so historical and touching.
Hey I made a rainy version of The Lakes in my channel
This isn’t an album so much as it is an experience, this feels like a spiral of thoughts you have in the quiet night
The Lakes has some of the most beautiful lyrics I’ve ever heard in it. I mean, the way the line “I want to watch wisteria grow right under my bare feet cause I haven’t moved in years” makes me feel is incredible ❤
You should come to the Lakes (they're in Cumbria, Northwest England), you'll get to see the Wisteria and all the Great Poet's houses and the beautiful Lakes themselves. Taylor's lyrics really do ring true, it's very beautiful and calm here.
In her 14 years of career, she experimented and tested her limits. She reinvented herself with each album. Made her album more like an era. She stepped into 3 different genres- country, pop and now alternative. Taking such big risks fearlessly and making masterpieces. I dont find any reason to not stan her! Its a bliss to be born in the same era as Taylor and listen her music. Stan her forever cause i'm a swiftie for evermore.
Beautiful comment. I stan you!
Hip hop too.
Ugh her mind. I just love her
❤❤❤
And the fact she invites fans at her house , play them new albums before their release , bakes stuff for them , and have convos , have fun . She's so down to earth despite being the biggest musician in the world
THIS IS MY FIRST TIME HEARING THIS SONG
No one::
Literally no one:::
People in comment section :- Blessing my parents😂😂😂
OMG SAME!!!!
ME TOO
Kevinnnnn
Same
I'm so *impressed* by Taylor's ability to keep all the *songs similar* in style yet *sound different* for two albums. Every song sounds new but fits the theme.
*How does she do it?*
she genius bruh, also not me replying to a comment from a year ago 🌚
@@iguessihaveinsomnia4594 😭😭😭
She's an integrated human being.
She's TAYLORRRR! 🌟🌟🌟
This is so much sadder now. Goodbye Taylor's muse.
okay but like taylor doesn't need a muse tbh
This song is the perfect conclusion to the album. Imagine it playing during the credits of an old film.
I was actually in the Lake District a couple weeks ago and got to listen to the folklore album for the first time whilst on Lake Windermere! It was totally surreal..but I've never seen Tay in concert before😪
Oh man, I wanna cry already. 😭
The way you spill made me wanna cry 😭
HEYYYY LET'S STREAMMM
Or the longest movie ever!!
This album makes me feel like im living in an old abandoned mansion with a huge library ,large paintings in the living room and a fountain in the backyard
Me too🌻🎵🎶
It is similar to blank space music video

Same thoughts
WHOS HERE AFTER LISTENING TO THE ORIGINAL ??? HAPPY 1 YEAR, FOLKLORIANS !!!
I'm happy and at peace cause of Taylor today😌
Heree
MEEEE HAPPY ONE YEAR!
When the bonus track reaches this standard, thats how you know an album is exceptional. I mean, THIS IS THE BONUS TRACK? Come on, its a masterpiece.
this is one of my top five favs it’s MAGICAL
taylor please be responsible for non existent heartbreaks that u give me
REVIIIIIIIL HAHAHAHAHAHA
😜😆
I can totally relate
omg we stan queens supporting fellow queens😩💙✨
😂😂😂😂😂
we demand you Taylor!
She really snapped when people called her childish for the “spelling is fun” lyrics
this is one of my fav songs in Folklore. I can say that it is also a very underrated one. “A Red Rose grew up on some ice frozen ground, with no one around to tweet it” That line claimed that she used to be so present in socmed, tweeting posts and beautiful moments. But in that scenario, she’s living in the moment and just lets her eyes witness that beautiful moment. It also means that she just wants to run away from the life she has here with her muse and just cry out on the windermere peaks as she refers to it as the perfect place to cry. She wants to run away, but she can never escape the life she has here. It will always haunt her because she is Taylor Swift. Despite not being famous, I love how people can relate to this song, including me. The thought that you want to run away from all those things that is bothering you and that our social batteries can be drained too. The song speaks for ourselves. Sometimes, we just want to let it all out and escape social media and everything. She is truly a genius and can make our vocabulary broad than what the school does /j.
Reminds me of the line in Call It What You Want "I recall late November, holding my breath slowly I said, "You don't need to save me
but would you run away with me?"
"a red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground, with no one around to tweet it" this literally defines joe and taylors private relationship
I've been taking some classes on English literature and we recently studied the romanticism movement. Girl, you had all the references in this song. You make me love you more every day. The songwriter of our generation.
Can you please explain them here🥺🥺🥺
*other artists* : i wanna live a private life
*taylor alison swift* :
I want auroras and sad prose
I want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet
'Cause I haven't moved in years
And I want you right here
A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground
With no one around to tweet it
While I bathe in cliffside pools
With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief
Underrated comment💕
Bring Taylor up without pulling others down.
The lyrics started playing on my screen just when I finished reading your comment
She's so special, I wanna protect her from everything.
@@kelseyhorton8514 they didn't specify any artist so this comment isn't actually pulling someone down
LITERALLY the lakes, peace and hoax is sad beautiful tragic.
ikr!
The holy trinity of sad beautiful tragic
and it's perfect to fall asleep
HEYYYY LET'S STREAMMM
indeed
The lyrics of this song... wow. One of her best songs, ever. I cannot get over it after 2 years of realising this album. Sublime.
Easily one of the top 5 songs of hers
Ok everybody, repeat with me: "Taylor Swift is the music industry"
TAYLOR SWIFT IS THE MUSIC INDUSTRY
TAYLOR SWIFT IS THE MUSIC INDUSTRY!!
Taylor Swift is the music industry
TAYLOR SWIFT IS THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. AMEN.
Taylor swift is the music industry
She ain't joking when she says spelling is fun!
🤣🤣
Literally laughed out loud 😂
We've been warned, We didn't listen
😂
True😂
this whole album is so artistically written. it makes me want to escape reality by sitting in a meadow away from humanity.
Same
Legit
the funny thing is what you said is literally what taylor refers to in this song lol
@carmyn Monroe perfectly said...feeling this like now
That sounds like the place to be right now.
“I want aurora and sad prose” Surreal. Best. Line.
I think we all can agree that Folklore is a masterpiece.
Can’t believe I spent 20 min thinking this was fake. This is what Twitter does to you
For real. I literally stared at it for 5 min before clicking it
I understand you 😀
*Taylor Swift* & *Selena Gomez* is my inspiration!! *Begging you* please listen my song!! *Literally begging you* please listen my song!! And help me to reach my dreams!!
I just saw it right on RUclips lol
@@chad9487 same
You'll probably never see this, Taylor. But "I want auroras and sad prose" is lyrical perfection. Bravo, girl. Bravo.
can u explain what it means?
Yeah can u explain :v :0
Eggsplain
Auroras are the lights in the sky caused by solar radiation that occur at the poles, they very mystical, rare, and beautiful. Sad prose is just another way to say sad writing or a sad story. So she’s basically talking about wanting to feel melancholy and mystical in a way
That whole section from “auroras and sad prose” to “I bathed in cliff side pools with my calamitous love and insurmountable grief” made me so emotional 😭
SAD FACT: I haven't heard this song before Coz i m such an ignorant until a couple minutes ago I listen to the original version Because she posted it on her social media. And now i can proudly say that this is my all time favorit song on folklore 🥺
Same
I've been listening for the first time this song out in Spotify, but the originally version make me more love this song.. Makin jatuh dengan Taylor Swift, selalu ngasih sesuatu yg sangat indah.
So glad you found it, better late than ever! It's also one of my favorites from folklore. I just covered it on my channel if you want to give it a listen :)
Same--I never explored Folklore that much (compared to evermore) but after she release this song now I fell in love with folklore album
Taylor swift is so amazing! My friend (not a swiftie) thought that Taylor swift only wrote pop songs (shake it off, blank space, we are never getting back together) until she heard this song and other folklore songs. She really does have every genre of music
"Folklore" is like a world we needed, where everything is calm with magical tunes. Thank you taylor.
Pls search for The Lakes but you're on Windermere Lakes and it's raining.
My mom said if my last song will get 5.000 Iikes, she will buy me a new microphone, I really need that microphone
i can't agree more!😭💜💜💜💜💜
brainmare no
A new magical world
Starting an new magical journey during the pandemic
I think Taylor wrote this as a poem but then she put it music.
I covered her song you need to calm down 🎶💕❤️🎶please check it out enjoy 💚
Yeah maybe its always a possibility
I feel like all her songs are just Poe’s to herself or others and it just has music
Pls search for The Lakes by Taylor Swift buy you're on Windermere Lakes and it's raining
It may be!!! That's what happened with this love
Shakespeare has been real quiet since this dropped just saying.
The lakes is such an inspiration for me, it makes me wanna search for beautiful and lesser known words and just write poems. It inspires me to think creative and write something with depth. Duh, i love this song sm !!!!
People criticized her for using childish lyrics like "Spelling is Fun". Now I bet they need their dictionaries to decipher the meanings....
Yes queen tell them
Absolutely, this is such a lyrical masterpiece. I loved the bridge the most. It sounded like a Disney song for some reason.
YASSS PREACH!!!
@@heraldjaybautista3754
Yes.... Too beautiful for words...

literally me at the moment

please tell me what it means 🤣 im too lazy to search it up hahaha
and this is my favorite by far, (even though ion even know the lyrics by heart haha)
Greeks reading the comment : 👁👄👁
Dont mean to offend anyone it's just funny how these 2 words are from greek roots
I can’t even begin to describe the amount of peace this song brings me
The way she sings "and my beloved, neither do you" ...
taylor swift is here again proving that she's a lyrical genius.
Pls search for The Lakes but you're on Windermere Lakes and it's raining.
this is taylor’s punishment to us when we didn’t take “spelling is fun” seriously
Lol I’m learning a lot of English from her🥰
GIRL THERE AINT NO I IN TEAM
BUT YOU KNOW THERE IS A ME!
Love this! Hahaha
Me! hahahahaha
Folklore was like a combination of poetry and literature 🥺
i aspire to experience the meaning of the lyric “a red rose grew up out of ice-frozen ground, with no one around to tweet it” to go through such a painful time alone where you’ve nearly given up on love and lost hope and then to be blessed with something beautiful. something real.
"A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground with no one around to tweet it." Taylor making us remember that we can appreciate/enjoy the beauty without spreading it all around social media.
She also mentioned something about that in one of the diary entries she shared with us, saying she was worried that everyone felt the need to post every little thing.

i really hope she performs this at the eras tour as one of her suprise songs
She just did tonight at Chicago!
*_“I want auroras and sad prose i want to watch wisteria grow right under my bare feet cause i havent move in years”_*
it's the longing for such happiness that blooms like spring flowers during occasional depression. like caged birds that haven't been outdoors for such a long time it really relates to how we all felt during lockdown when the pandemic placed us all in house arrest.
The fact that Taylor isn’t even promoting her album and is more bothered about spreading awareness of important things just gives us another reason to love her so much 😭💖
Pls search for The Lakes but you're on Windermere Lakes and it's raining.
She puts on such a great show too....

Taylor's touched on everything in this song
"Is it romantic how all my elogies eulogize me?" - People saying "she bashes her exes in breakup songs all the time!"
"I'm not cut out for all these cynical clones, these hunters with cellphones" - Addressing the Kimye feud/general haters on the internet
"I've come too far to watch some namedropping sleaze tell me what are my words' worth" - The "worth" of her records before Lover that got owned by Scott and Scooter resulting in a feud
"A red rose grew/ with no one around to tweet it" - Her privacy, and the fact that her personal life is not "up for discussion" means it's all going so well because it's away from the public eye
Wow, Taylor, wow 👏
Pls search for the lakes but you're on Windermere Lakes and it's raining
Wow .
Hello sakhi!!! Guess who here?
While I agree with you I think the "words worth" line is both what you said and a reference to William Wordsworth a poet who lived in the lake district in England which this song is about, she has away of hiding Easter eggs within beautiful lyrics
@@elliet767 sorry I didn't read the comments first
This is my favourite song off ‘Folklore’ and genuinely one of my favourite Taylor Swift songs. It’s pure poetry and the beautiful vivid imagery it conjures up is unmatched.
the tone change in "'cause i haven't moved in years" is the best part
rep era: “all my flowers grew back as thorns”
folklore era: “a red rose grew with no one around to tweet it”
"Rose garden filled with thorns" - 1989 era
@Tfd if you really feel like that, then why are you here?...
Tfd the tastelessness
Taylor will be written in history books.
Yes
I’m so glad I live in the same time that Taylor swift does
yes, preach!
For sure 😍
pretty sure
The way she assembles these words, like pieces of jigsaw, everything fits so perfectly. No one does it like Taylor Swift. No one ever will.
This woman is the best contemporary poet, this line : "I've come too far to watch some namedropping sleaze, Tell me what are my words worth"
Using Wordsworth as using it as Words Worth. I can't get over this
❤❤❤
shes such a genius its crazy...
Producer: How small do u want the lyrics
Taylor: ʸᵉˢ
HoneyBee •ω• lmaooooo very underrated comment
Lmao this comment is underrated af
Lmao
I think this is more of aesthetics rather than a lyrics video
Shamsun Nahar this is a LYRIC video check the title
Did u notice the W was in caps in “Wordsworth”....she’s referencing to William Wordsworth, a true nature poet.
He is also known as a lake poet... Taylor Swift is a genius!!!
exactly!
Yes, and he is called a “Lake poet,” he lived in the Lake District in the northwest of England!
She mentioned Windermere too which is in the lake district!
we're all uncovering something here!!
I studied Wordsworth doing my English major 40 years ago, and I never till now realized you could make it quite the play on words the way Swift has and make it another great piece of musical art. Brilliant mind at work here. Love it!
can’t believe she’s also the artist who write reputation and 1989
I've genuinely never heard a singer put so many meaningful emotions and literaterary devices in all her songs. Specifically this one. Taylor swift has really helped my with my english and love for poetry and literature over-all. Please be my english teacher tay tay !!
People who don't like her don't know what nostalgia is.
if this album doesn’t win a grammy we will have a problem
grammys don't deserve this lyrical genius
Lol
Taylor, you must be tired of carrying the whole industry on your shoulders.
Hey guys. Pls search for My tears ricochet but the battleship has sinked beneath the waves.
Just kidding it doesn't exist.
Omfg i laughed so hard hahaha

girl!! release the orchestral version of the lakes in celebration of folklore's 1st year!! 🥲🤍
U called it omg
SHE did release some version of it so ur wish came true yay
She played this song on piano in Chicago during the Eras Tour. Forever in my heart
Can we all just say that Taylor has a very, very wide range of rich vocabulary!
Absolutely in love with this song.
The poet of millennials 🖤
I've never improved my vocabulary so much in three minutes
HEYYYY LET'S STREAMMM
why is this song a bonus track when it's literally the most beautiful one on the entire album?? :( I cry everytime with "i want autoras and sad prose..."
it’s special . it’s a bonus track made just for us listeners, taylor decided to gift us with the most beautiful bonus track instead of letting it be overplayed like the songs on the main album
Connie P.....you took the words out of my mouth
SAMEEE
I absolutely love this song, but I’m still a bit iffy on that line. For some reason it sounds pretentious and something else that I can quite put my finger on (edit to add: it just doesn't ring true). I do, however, love the next line: “I want watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet ‘cause I haven’t moved in years.” Absolutely beautiful.
@@IndieCindy3 I personally like that line because I think "auroras" represent beauty, and it pairs nicely with "calamitous love," meanwhile sad prose represents her feelings spoken into words and pairs nicely with the "insurmountable grief" that she feels🌹 They say the most beautiful art comes from those who have gone through the most painful circumstances
Taylor and Joe be the leader of those Dark Academia couples, I just know.
some one finally said it
Underrated comment
not dark academia. Taylor seems more like a cottagecore girl
@@tanviohol6807 both aesthetics are heavily merged with the concept of escapism and this song feels a lot like that
@@meganbayram5092 dark academia isn't escapism tho. Cottagecore is
Folklore is a masterpiece that you can listen to in any season, but it just feels more special when it's raining outside and you're playing this album while slowly sipping hot cocoa beside your window, pondering about what has been and what could be.
Happy anniversary to Grammy 2020's Album of the Year, and actually one of the best albums of all time.
