Some song analysis:

I think this album is an apology to Karlie. Listen to the lyrics.

In the last great American dynasty, it’s all about Karlie and how Taylor basically is her end game. I know it’s about the actual lady that owned her house too, but there are parallels (jk is an heir, St. Louis, etc), and she ends it with that she, Taylor, ruined everything.

“Betty” is a total apology. Taylor is James (James Taylor), and Karlie is Betty (Karlie Elizabeth (Betty is short for Elizabeth) Kloss). Inez is Joe? (“Can’t believe a word...”) I think that she and Karlie had an understanding of some sort, my guess on this, just from the other songs, is that their understanding was that Karlie and Kushy were getting “married” to be a long term bearding situation for Kaylor to be able to step out more together again (and the bearding was arranged even before Taylor, between Karlie and Kush, so they could cover for each other as I’m fairly sure both are gay). But then, I think, like in the song when James didn’t like her dancing with someone else, that someone else touching her bothered them, and I think Taylor started to get jealous IRL. When she got jealous, she blew up at Karlie and then found her own beard. Even though both know how they feel about each other, in the song, Taylor is admitting that she was wrong and that she understands now that Kush and kk aren’t real. Notice how she breezes right over the talk of the guy Betty was with and wants to go to her party and kiss her, etc? Yup! It’s an apology. She’s saying “I’m sorry. I know he’s nothing. I shouldn’t have hurt you by getting jealous.” She mentions in other songs not being able to leave well enough alone. I think from the start, she knew all of this had to happen between KK and Josh, and she got jealous anyway and it hurt them as a couple deeply. I don’t think just she needed to beard...I think kk did too, and I think kks beard invested a lot of money into her, her career, used certain connections he had to help her early on, etc., and in return, she’s his beard too.

The 1 - this song was probably written during her breakup period with kk. I think she really thought that they could go public at some point, and I think kk has a duty to fulfill to jk first. As a Leo, I can say we are loyal af and when it comes to honor and duty, if she made a promise to him years ago that they would beard for each other, that’s how it’s happening. I think it’s interesting that Taylor didn’t spell out one, she makes it a number. 🤔 not sure why.

August - What a sad song! I think she’s talking about how she recognized that Karlie was never “hers” in the first place (because she was bearding with Josh). She’s recalling the summer, Karlie’s birthday, how she dropped everything for her, and then she had to realize that she was sharing her partner because of the arrangement that Karlie had made before, with JK.

My tears ricochet - Another song summarizing the relationship with KK. Taylor is calling out Karlie. She can go “anywhere I want, but just not home.” Home is Karlie. Karlie is with Josh now (in Taylor’s mind and at this point).

Excerpt:

I didn't have it in myself to go with grace - Taylor fought for what they had

You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same - Karlie had to lay down the law. She had to remind Taylor “look, there were things in place before us. It’s painful that I have to remind you of this, but there were and i am true to my word and to any contracts I have with JK.”

Cursing my name, wishing I stayed - Taylor doesn’t accept that. She’s ready, she wants to admit she’s gay/bi and have Karlie with her, but she won’t do it.

You turned into your worst fears - Karlie has turned into someone not genuine. She’s not her true authentic self with Josh. She’s hiding in the fake reality she made. Her biggest fear.

And you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain - Karlie blames her fully, I mean, Taylor knew what she got herself into. Karlie is devastated too though. She wanted the plan to work.

Crossing out the good years - Before JK and Scooter had teamed up, everything was good. Then came the dark ages. Taylor is referencing this.

Illicit Affairs - This is directly about Kaylor. “You showed me colors you know I can't see with anyone else” = rainbows. The rest of her “relationships” were the simple black and white of being “straight”. It was all fake, no colors. Just the lyrics...all of it. It’s full on the experience they had.

Peace - I’m torn, because on the one hand, this could be about Toe and how he will never be happy with her, never 100% and never at peace. On the other hand, it could be about Karlie and the fall out again. 🤷‍♀️. I really don’t know.
