in celebration of the folktale in folklore pt.1 (and how taylor swift inexplicably wrote a musical in my head) It is the nature of a folktale to continuously transform and mutate as it passes from one person to another. Before the release of folklore, she called on listeners to pass down the stories she had so meticulously crafted within the album. Among them is the ever enduring tale of a love triangle told in three songs. On their own, the trilogy is already an incredible achievement in storytelling. But because of the strong thematic coherence of the entire album, all the other songs on the album enriches the story arc of august, betty, and james. After listening to folklore countless of times, a cohesive narrative started to form in my head that would play like a movie. At some point I took it even further and imagined it as a musical. This may have partly been inspired by my other quarantine obsession, Hamilton. Specifically, the sequence and staging of Helpless and Satisfied. If you follow the narrative throughout folklore, you encounter several time jumps and clear imagery that repeats and foreshadows. As if time is skipping backwards and forwards. This is ultimately how I’m choosing to pass her story down. Maybe it’s unique, maybe it’s not. I just wanted to share because I think for me, it illicit a very strong and emotional response and I hope others could experience it as well. I also don’t want to lose the memory of it so I wanted to put it down in writing. The following details loosely how I imagine the first three songs. I say loosely hopefully to also try and make the experience as unique to the listener as possible. The story begins, appropriately, with the 1. Like a prologue of a Greek Tragedy, it introduces us to the premise and to our three main characters. This then is followed by betty’s soliloquy in cardigan. Set in the fall, this is after betty discovers james’ summer fling. The next song, the last great american dynasty, was one of two songs I struggled the most with to fit in the narrative because it’s so tied to who Taylor herself is. Ultimately, it functions as a great embedded narrative. A story within the story. I imagined it to be a folktale betty’s mom narrates to console her. She describes all the bold and extravagant choices Rebekah made throughout her life. The townsfolk may not have seen her in the best light, but she lived her life anyway. And things wouldn’t be the same if she hadn’t made those choices. All this to tell betty to be proud and own all of the bold choices she made in her relationship with james, no matter if it is perceived to be wrong or not. the last great american dynasty is also my favorite sequence to visualize. I imagine it to be a grand set piece with a chorus of townsfolk singing parts of the song, their gossip stitching together Rebekah’s story. What is gossip if not the exchange of and proliferation of folktales, right? There would be dancers and the rotating stage would be spinning wildly counterclockwise. I can hear a full orchestra and band with raucous horns and bombastic strings. Transitioning to the next song, I think it’s a great juxtaposition going from this big choral dance number to a haunting duet during the spring formal…….

You know what I love about “The Last Great American Dynasty”? I love the line “and blew through the money on the boys and the ballet” and you probably listen to it and think “wow she must have spent a lot of money on ballet tickets” BUT THATS NOT IT!!!! Rebekah Harkness freaking tried to buy Joffrey ballet and rename it after herself! She made a HUGE donation to Joffrey ballet (which is like THE ballet school) and when Joffrey refused to rename the studio after her she withdrew the money and stole all his dancers!!!

REBEKAH HARKNESS WAS THAT BITCH!!

my fav lyrics for each song on folklore

the 1: we were something, don’t you think so?

cardigan: a friend to all is a friend to none

the last great american dynasty: and then it was bought by me

exile: i’m not your problem anymore, so who am i offending now?

my tears ricochet: you wear the same jewels, that i gave you, as you bury me

mirrorball: i’ve never been a natural, all i do is try, try, try

seven: and though i can’t recall your face, i still got love for you

august: to live for the hope of it all, cancel plans just incase you’d call

this is me trying: they told me all of my cages were mental, so i got wasted like all my potential

illicit affairs: so you leave no trace behind, like you don’t even exist

invisible string: isn’t it just so pretty to think, all along there was some invisible string, tying you to me?

mad woman: watching you climb over people like me

epiphany: some things you just can’t speak about

betty: i was nowhere to be found, i hate the crowds, you know that, plus, i saw you dance with him

peace: give you the silence that only comes when two people understand each other

hoax: you knew you won so what’s the point of keeping score?

the lakes: take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die, i don’t belong, and my beloved neither do you

what’s your favourite lines? 🖤 it was so hard to pick only one!

Taylor must make a movie or a series using the "the last great American dynasty", " mad woman" and "no body, no crime" storyline and I ain't letting up until the day I die.

Can we all just stop for a moment to freak out about this?? The woman in the last great america dynasty, Rebekah Harkness, was also known as Betty - who was married to Bill. This could mean that Taylor sees herself as similar to Betty (since she definetly sees herself as similar Rebekah), and that that Joe is William Bowery, since William was Betty’s husband. Betty is also one of the songs that William Bowery helped write. Also, if there was some truth to the Betty-James-drama and William Bowery is Joe, then it would make sense for him to help write the song from ’his’ perspective.
