Taylor said her goal is to not repeat each show’s surprise songs so I thought it would be fun to track them as the tour goes on! Black strikethrough is included in the main set list.

#Taylor swift

[queenlucythevaliant]

Okay, here we go. Rating literary allusions in Taylor Swift songs:

The Outside: "I tried to take the road less traveled by /but nothing seems to work the first few times/am I right?"--Starting off pretty well! She tried to take the road less traveled by, but it didn't make any difference. 8/10

Love Story: Whole song allusion to Romeo and Juliet-- All those 2008 jokes about Taylor not having read R&J weren't funny then and they aren't funny now. It's a fun, satisfying subversion. However, I am going to dock points for the fact that Romeo and Juliet aren't a prince and princess, just rich. 7/10

Love Story: "You were Romeo/I was a scarlet letter"--Is the Juliet character in "Love Story" being publicly shamed? Did she do something scandalous? There are zero other lines in this song to suggest that she did, and a fair amount of evidence that she didn't. This allusion confuses rather than clarifies and tbh this is the one people should've made fun of in 2008. 2/10

New Romantics: "We show off our different scarlet letters/ trust me, mine is better" --Hooray! She figured out what the book is about! This is a beautifully executed allusion, where "scarlet letters" represents a mark of something shameful which, in a fun subversion, is being shown off with pride. Fits the song really well. Most improved award, 11/10

Getaway Car: "It was the best of times, the worst of crimes" (A Tale of Two Cities) -- Goes in the category of "fun wordplay, but doesn't really mean anything deeper" 5/10

This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things: "Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year" --This is a perfectly serviceable allusion, but not a super interesting one. Sub "Gatsby" out with "nostalgic" and the song wouldn't change at all. She could've done a lot more with the reference, given the subject matter of the song. 6/10

cardigan: "I knew you/tried to change the ending/Peter losing Wendy" -- This works! You get a sense of Betty losing her innocence and choosing to leave James and of it being inevitable somehow. Plus, it imbues the song with a lovely fairy tale quality. 10/10

illicit affairs: "take the road less traveled by/tell yourself you can always stop" -- To take the road less traveled by is to do something risky, unpopular, or unfamiliar, not just to take a route through town where you won't run into people. Not totally egregious, but the regression from Debut is disappointing. 4/10

invisible string: "and isn't it just so pretty to think/ that all along there was some/ invisible string tying you to me."(The Sun Also Rises)--Ugggggh. Okay, so "Isn't it pretty to think so?" is this sad, tired, ironic note in The Sun Also Rises. Brett tells Jake, "We could have had a damned good time together" and Jake says "Isn't it pretty to think so?" because their whole situationship was never going to work. It's not a positive thing; it's pure, bitter Lost Generation irony. Completely out-of-place in a song about how two people we're supposed to believe will actually work as a couple. This one drives me nuts, and I don't even like Hemingway. 0/10

happiness: "I hope she'll be a beautiful fool/ who takes my spot next to you" (Gatsby)--Saying this about an ex's future SO is so... off. Like, the reason why Daisy hopes her daughter will be a beautiful fool is because it's easy. The two situations have nothing to do with one another, and not in an interesting way. 1/10

The Albatross: whole song allusion to "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," but most notably "She's the albatross/ she is here to destroy you"--The albatross in the Rime is a good omen. The Mariner shoots is for no reason, and the albatross's death is the ostensible source of bad fortune. I wrote a whole separate post on this here. That said, culturally "albatross=bad omen" is common enough, so whatever. 3/10

I Hate It Here: "I will go to secret gardens in my mind/ people need a key to get to/ the only one is mine" -- I like this one a lot. Exactly the right vibe for the song, trying to escape something miserable by going somewhere pleasant. The key is a nice touch. Poor Archibald. 10/10

The Prophecy: "I got cursed like Eve got bitten" --No Taylor, that's not what happened. Famously, Eve was the biter in that situation. 0/10

Cassandra: whole song allusion -- correct me if I'm wrong (I haven't actually read the Illiad), but my understanding is that Cassandra died fairly far into the Trojan war, and not by burning. 4/10

#this probably isn't exhausive lol #but it's what i've got off the top of my head #this was weirdly cathartic to write #you guys know i adore taylor swift but literary allusions have always been my biggest nitpick with her #i would just like to send her to an English class or gently help her out or something idk #tay tay #i'm aware that i'm not addressing Peter off ttpd but that song is such a nothingburger that i really can't be bothered #pontifications and creations #literature makes us more human

A VegeBul Mixtape 🎶🌟

True Love — P!nk

At the same time, I wanna hug you / I wanna wrap my hands around your neck / You're an asshole but I love you / And you make me so mad, I ask myself / Why I'm still here, or where could I go / You're the only love I've ever known

I Love You, You Imbecile — Pelle Carlburg & Ida Maria

I can live with vanity and puns / And the morning temper runs / I can live with all your downsides / I can live with you

Cold Cold Man — Saint Motel

Oh, my love / I know, I am a cold, cold man / Quite slow to pay you compliments / Or public displayed affections / But baby, don't you go over analyze / No need to theorize / I can put your doubts to rest

For Once In My Life — Stevie Wonder

For once in my life, I won't let sorrow hurt me / Not like it's hurt me before / For once, I have something I know won't desert me / I'm not alone anymore / For once I can say, "This is mine, you can't take it" / As long as I know I have love, I can make it / For once in my life, I have someone who needs me

We’ve Got Love — OK Sweetheart

"I'm sorry" flows, the faucet's broke / But neither of us change / We're past butterflies and goosebumps / We know each other's dirty games / But at the end of the day when I ask you what's wrong / You put a smile on your face as you sing your love songs

Powerful — Major Lazer & Ellie Goulding

Oh my, my, my, what you do to me / Like lighting when I'm swimming in the sea / From the very first time we loved / From the very first time we touched / Walking on wires and power lines / You put your body on top of mine / Every time that you lift me up / To the heavens and stars above

Boom Clap — Charli XCX

You're picture-perfect blue / Sunbathing under the moon / Stars shining as your bones illuminate / First kiss just like a drug / Under your influence / You take me over, you're the magic in my veins / This must be love

Human Touch — Betty Who

Good love is so hard to find / We got it right for a while / Do you get lonely at night? / We don't have to go higher, we don't have to go

Digital Love — Daft Punk

Ooh, I don't know what to do / About this dream and you / We'll make this dream come true / Why don't you play the game? / Why don't you play the game?

Be Mine — Alice Boman

Don't promise me too much / No I'd rather you don't / A promise don't mean much to me no more / Be mine, be mine

Still The One — Orleans

Changing, our love is going gold / Even though we grow old, it grows new / You're still the one that I love to touch / Still the one and I can't get enough / We're still having fun and you're still the one

[totallylost4you]

(Pandemic) We all needed our methods of escapism, and that was one of mine. I just kind of needed to create, not just an album, but... folklore was a state of mind for me. It was like... In my imagination, I could just escape to this sort of wooden cabin, in the middle of the forest, and I could just pretend like what was happening wasn't really happening. So that was basically the first step, was envisioning this album, and so it kind of became this imaginary vacation spot I would go in my head, you know?

(See post by @badgalazzie) The cabin where Kaylor stayed on their Big Sur trip

The folklore cabin is located at a vacation spot. 💜 🥹

👇 Full Speech. More Folklore speeches @corneliastvendor

Transcript by cages-boxes-hunters-foxes. "So we have brought the folklore cabin to Detroit! So folklore, folklore is an album that I started writing about two days into the pandemic. I just, we all needed our methods of escapism, and that was one of mine. I just kind of needed to create, not just an album, but folklore was a state of mind for me. In my imagination, I could just escape to this sort of wooden cabin, in the middle of the forest, and I could just pretend like what was happening wasn't really happening. So that was basically the first step, was envisioning this album, and so it kind of became this imaginary vacation spot to go in my head, you know? And when I was writing these songs, I also kind of took a little vacation from the way that I usually write. I usually write about something I have personally gone through, and exactly how I felt about that, you know? So it was kind of fun to be able to write an album and sort of be like, 'Okay, maybe with this one, we'll sort of fictionalize it a little bit. I'll create characters. I can name them different things, and maybe we can have these different story arcs.' And there are a few songs that go together. There's this like, teenage love triangle threesome arc. And so I. created a story between those three characters, and you know, when I would try to come up with names, it was just easiest for me to pull names from my real life, so the names that were actually named after real people that I love very much were James, Inez, and Betty!"

[taylortruther]

The more I listen to these vault tracks the more I'm drawing parallels between them and the folklore love triangle. It's not in the sense that it's directly about Haylor, but I do think it inspired some of the primary emotional veins. The whole thing schtick of James who showed up at a party saying "I don't know anything but I know I miss you" is very HYGTG and "Slept next to her but dreamt of you" just reminds me of how they've both had songs talking about him sleeping with people who remind him of her.

And the thing is, I feel like Taylor was both August and Betty in this whole twisted ordeal. The entirety of their situationship she was constantly in that "You weren't mine to lose" phase, but after they ended and he ran back to her we know he haunted her "I see your face in every unsuspecting waiter/Chasing show down the grocery line" but she also haunted him in a sense "I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired". Plus, there are also a bunch of parallels between cardigan and This Love. It's pretty interesting to see more & more how folklore & evermore are simultaneously fictional and realistic as we make our way through the vault tracks of these re-recordings.

yeah, i think the desire to be chased, apologized to, is a recurring desire in taylor's life. that's why even the songs that felt less autobiographical still felt extremely personal, because of those parallels you're describing.

also, although "dark side of the gym" and "i'm standing in a 1950s gymnasium" aren't strict parallels, i think it's yet another connection for how taylor thinks in metaphor. i think the high school motif is a signpost for when she's drawing from something in a certain part of her past, or when she's relating to a specific feeling (like grappling with fame and its high costs.)

You Were Never Mine

Another Billy Russo as a young Marine. Billy the Beaut at his worst.

My first entry into Mandy's sweater weather challenge. 😁

Song Prompt: CARDIGAN & AUGUST - Taylor Swift

Betty

Autumn brings in a chill to the air, a crispness I feel in my bones. The leaves are changing in Central Park, soon the trees will be bare. All that will be left are twisted & gnarled branches. Which will match my soul. Billy Russo broke my heart. It would have been a kindness if he had ended things with me. A long-distance relationship was not what I wanted. Billy was stationed out in Camp Pendleton in California, while I stayed home in New York because he said this is where he wanted to build a life together when he got out of the Marines.

Wrapped up in each other bodies, "Once I make Officer, I'll be able to make a better life for us, Sweetheart." Trailing kisses down my neck, his warm hands squeezing my waist, I've never felt so loved & cherished. He oozed charm & charisma making me believe every lie that fell from his lips. Promises of love & a future together. I'm a fool & I stayed with him. He's my first love & I love him completely. Never did I expect to see him on social media with another woman. Billy smiling at her, with the smile he saved for me. A guy from his unit posted a party picture and Billy is there with someone else. And there was no mistake. I'd recognize Billy anywhere.

A friend to all is a friend to none

Chase two girls, lose the one

When you are young, they assume you know nothin'

Augustine

Billy and some guys from his unit were invited to a beach party I was at. He was so handsome; I couldn't help but want him. He had this heavy New York accent that I found so sexy. His rich baritone made me break out in goosebumps when he'd whisper in my ear. As the temperature dropped, he'd pull me back against him, wrapping his arms around me as we hung out by the bonfire. Hidden by my beach blanket he slipped his hands under my sweatshirt, palming my breast & nipping at the skin on my neck with his teeth. I tilted my head back & he captured my lips in a kiss that had me yearning for more. Much more. "Are you sure?"

Breathlessly, "Never have I ever before." As a lover, he made my body scream for him. I couldn't get enough of Billy Russo.

His dark eyes, which could be like warm chocolate when he graces you with one of his breathtaking smiles. I also learned; it could change to cold & emotionless. Flat. Twisted in bedsheets, we finished off our bottle of wine from dinner. I was drunk off the wine & sex-drunk off Billy. We had been inseparable for the past 3 months, I thought we could make a vacation of his next trip to New York. As soon as I brought it up, I knew it was a mistake. "Why not? It'll be fun, Billy." I try to run my fingers through his hair & he jerks away from my touch.

"New York is my home. My girl's there." Those 2 sentences shattered my heart.

So much for summer love and saying "us"

'Cause you weren't mine to lose

You weren't mine to lose

Staking A Claim | Reggie Mantle

[gif is not mine; all credit to the creator]

Word Count: 1K

Pairing: Reggie Mantle x Fem!Reader, 2nd person POV

Description: Nobody knows the two of you are dating, until Reggie decides to stake a claim

Warnings: implied sexy things, sneaking around, intimidation

A/N: I’ve written something similar for Frausto from All American, but I wanted to change it up and reuse the idea. No spoilers, as this is just a snippet of time that takes place at Riverdale High and I’m only on season 3 of the show

- - -

You stepped out of the women’s locker room after football practice, your sore muscles aching with every step. You were snug in Reggie’s ‘Riverdale Bulldogs Football’ hoodie, the thought of wearing it in plain sight giving you a little thrill. Nobody knew the two of you were together, and if anyone were to ask about the slightly bigger size to the hoodie, you knew you would just lie and say you’d ordered a bigger size because you wanted it. Not that anyone would ask you about it; being the only girl on the football team was enough to intimidate about two-thirds of your class. It didn’t matter that you were only on the football team because there wasn’t anyone else who’d scored more points than you - or because you wanted the off-season practice outside of soccer - running with the football team gave you a different kind of power in the Riverdale High hierarchy.

Hot Killer by Julia Wolf played through your headphones as you sauntered down the hall to the student lounge, hoping to grab a VigorAde from the vending machine before heading home. You made no acknowledgement of the people there, heading straight for what you wanted.

*~*~*~

“D’you think she can hear us?” Kevin Keller asked, eyeing your turned back.

“Even if she can, what makes you think she’d say anything to us?” Betty shot back, looking to her boyfriend for some support.

“Sometimes I wonder if she realizes that people think she’s scarier than Cheryl Blossom, pre-Toni,” Jughead mused, running a soothing hand up and down Betty’s thigh.

Reggie shifted uncomfortably in his seat, hoping he wasn’t giving anything away. “Guys, she’s not that bad. Serious and intense, yes, but not that bad.”

Archie scoffed and rolled his eyes. “Normally, I’d agree with you about one of our teammates, but she’s just built different. I don’t care that she’s the main reason we beat Centerville last week or that she’s captain of the women’s soccer team when the season is over, I agree with Jug: she’s scary.”

“I’m telling you you’re wrong.” Reggie could feel his anger and frustration rising, unsure why he wanted people he considered friends to like her.

Veronica arched a perfectly-manicured eyebrow. “Methinks the football player doth protest too much.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Reggie huffed, leaning forward. His gaze flickered to your back for the briefest of moments but of course Veronica caught that.

“Vee is right,” Betty muttered, sitting up a little straighter as she put her detective brain to good use. 

“What aren’t you telling us, Reg?” Archie prodded, joining in on the questioning.

“I-”

*~*~*~

You smiled to yourself when your favorite flavor of VigorAde dropped down from the machine. You opened it, taking a long swig as you debated whether or not to grab something to eat. It was a stall tactic more than anything; you knew when people were talking about you and this time was no exception - except for the fact that your secret boyfriend happened to be among them.

Your playlist started on the next song, but you subtly pressed pause, wanting to be able to hear what was going down behind your back. You could hear Reggie defending you, your heart constricting at the warmth spreading through your chest. Betty and Veronica were right, you thought, taking another drink of VigorAde, Reggie was definitely protesting too much for someone claiming to just be defending a teammate.

“What aren’t you telling us, Reg?” You heard Archie ask as you finally turned around.

Your gaze met Reggie’s as he opened his mouth to respond. “I-”

“He isn’t lying to you, Andrews,” you cut in, drawing attention to yourself now. “There’s nothing to tell.”

Reggie’s eyes narrowed as he studied you, and you couldn’t tell if he was hurt or confused or both. The two of you had previously made a pact to keep your relationship a secret, but lately he’d been hinting at the possibility of going public. “Like hell there isn’t,” he growled, standing up and stalking towards you. To anyone else it would be scary or intimidating, but you knew Reggie better than anyone - even Moose, he’d confessed to you one - and knew that this was all just for show. He reached out and placed a hand on your cheek so softly that it took every ounce of your willpower not to close your eyes and lean into his touch. “Care to tell the truth?”

Calmly, you reached up and grabbed Reggie’s wrist, taking his hand off your cheek. “You really wanna do this right here, right now?”

Reggie shrugged, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. “It’s as good a time as any, I’d say. Unless you’re scared?”

The challenge in his tone had you rising to the occasion, always fighting to prove yourself and Reggie knew that. “Me? Scared? Never.”

“Prove it,” Reggie smirked, both hands grabbing your hips and pulling you flush against him. “Kiss me. Show everyone you’re mine and I’m yours.”

“Okay, okay,” Kevin’s voice rang out as he stood up, reminding you that it wasn’t just you and Reggie in the student lounge. “This has gone on long enough, and I, for one, don’t want to be witness to whatever the hell this weird sexual power dynamic is that’s happening.”

You rolled your eyes. “Oh shut up, Keller.” That interruption had been all you needed to get your shit together, dragging Reggie down for a public heated kiss.

When the kiss ended, Reggie pressed his forehead against yours as he tried to catch his breath. “Fuck,” he whispered, swallowing hard, “that was-”

“I know,” you replied, giggling. “Guess the cat’s out of the bag now, huh?” You peered over your no-longer-secret boyfriend’s broad shoulders to marvel at the shocked faces in front of you. “What are you all gawking at?!” You questioned, your intimidating persona back with a vengeance. 

The group got up to leave and Reggie turned to his friends. “I’ll catch up with you later.”

Once it was just the two of you alone in the student lounge after hours, Reggie took your hand and led you to the couch, sitting back and manspreading so you had no choice but to straddle him. His hands returned to your waist, sliding up underneath his hoodie. “Now,” he murmured, his voice thick with lust, “where were we?”
