one year since this mess in which i tried to theorize about how every song on folklore / evermore would be connected through corresponding tracks (but i theorized exclusively through the titles) and then i realized the next day that i just completely forgot about illicit affairs (which is weird bc it was my favourite at the time) and it completely messed everything up LMAO BUT I TRIED @taylorswift @taylornation

evermore “sister songs” predictions

alright evermore, midnight.

taylor referred to this album as a “sister album” with folklore. i saw someone on twitter suggest that maybe that means the corresponding track numbers between folklore and evermore are connected.

so basically here are my connection predictions after seeing nothing more than the titles off evermore

ALSO I JUST REALIZED I FORGOT ILLICIT AFFAIRS SO THE ORDER IS COMPLETLY MESSED UP LMFAO WHOOPS ITS OKAY ITS OKAY I TRIED

track 1: the 1 x willow

- okay i’m literally writing this one last like i’ve already written all the other connections because i can’t really think of anything for this lmao

- i suspect that the theme of willow is gonna be like specifically like a willow tree ?? 

- idk i mean i’ve always interpreted the 1 as being from specifically taylor’s perspective so my only guess is that it’s like a reference to taylor’s personal life that we’re not expected to figure out lol

- i’m sorry this was a terrible start lmfao i swear they get better

- you can tell which ones i wrote first lol

track 2: cardigan x champagne problems

- okay i wrote the track 8 stuff first so most of what i’m gonna say is based off that

- so i think tracks 2/8/13 are gonna all gonna have the same theme, either that it’s like another side of the james/betty/august story or it’s a whole different story with different characters but like similar themes

- based on the name champagne problems, i think this song could be more like the august in the sense that it’s like telling the story of the cheating

- i think this time though it would be from the perspective of the cheater (the james), rather than the august, based on the use of the word “problems”, which i feel like reflects how james knew being with august was a mistake but everything just went by so quickly that they (james) couldn’t stop themselves and this song is almost like a reflection / reliving the mistakes

track 3: the last great american dynasty x gold rush

- okay i literally don’t know anything about rebekah harkness nor the gold rush but like the names give off the same vibes yk

- like idk what the gold rush was but it sounds like an american history thing and like rebekah harkness was a person in history yk and didn’t she like lose her money or something and like,,, like gold is money,,

- i def don’t know enough about the two subjects to be making points lmao but they just give me similar vibes and tlgad is one my favs off folklore so i’m excited for this

track 4: exile x ‘tis the damn season

- “i think i’ve seen this film before and i didn’t like the ending”

- that’s me with like 90% of the holiday movies i watch (& ‘tis the damn season is literally my holiday catchphrase) 

- so like in conclusion track 4 is for people that love the holidays but just can’t get on board with like holiday movies and music and like annoying family members yk

track 5: my tears ricochet x tolerate it

- taylor described in the long pond studio sessions that this song is like the story of someone who knows you so well that when they suddenly turn on you, they know exactly where to punch you so it hurts

- i think tolerate it could be like the story of a toxic relationship (platonic, romantic, etc) and how you know it’s not healthy but you’re too scared to be without this person that’s been in your life for so long that you just tolerate their terrible actions because you feel like you can’t leave

track 6: mirrorball x no body, no crime

- i’ll be honest, my first thought when i saw “no body, no crime” was “oh shit we’re back to vehicular manslaughter taylor” and now i can’t really move past that idea lmao

- anyway so in the long pond studio sessions, taylor discussed her story behind mirrorball and how it’s like she feels like she has to come out and perform and be this shining light for everybody and how she never stops performing until the last person is gone

- so like my interpretation is like it’s telling the story how of one day she just couldn’t keep performing and she like snapped or something and like i’m not saying necessarily that like ms swizzle pulled a classic bachelor(ette) movie trope and murdered someone and like hid the body but it’s like she snapped but she had to force herself to keep going and pretend like it never happened and continue to be that shining mirrorball for everybody

track 7: seven x happiness

- tw abuse

- okay i forget if there was like an actual confirmation of what seven is about but i very much interpret it as like young best friends who care for each other very much and one of them is living in an abusive household but they’re still somewhat protected by the bliss of ignorance to the terrible things and people in the world and they always dream about running away together and living out the dream life together that they imagine the world, beyond their home, to be

- so like happiness would kinda be a part 2 to seven where like they’re imagining themselves living out that dream life and they’re telling that story to distract themselves from the horrors that they’re facing at home in that moment

- i kinda imagine it like if it were a movie, the entire thing would be them living in pure bliss and peace together, not having to worry the world around them but then at the very end there’s like a cut and you see them crammed in a small space, hiding from the worst

track 8: august x dorothea

- idk who dorothea is lol i haven’t seen anyone say that the name is significant yet so i’m just gonna assume it’s a random name

- because it’s paired with august i think it could potentially be like another side to the same story (betty, james, august) 

- or it’s like similar to cardigan/august/betty in the sense that it’s another story told from the perspectives of 3 different people and dorothea is like this story’s august (or maybe james/betty based on what i said for track 2)

track 9: this is me trying x coney island

- this is me trying not to puke on the rollercoaster

- this is me trying to stuff my fourth corndog down

- this is me trying to get that damn ring on the bottle to win that giant pink monkey

- this is me trying not to cry that coney island is still closed cause y’all can’t stay home while ms swift over here is literally staying in a cottage in the woods

- this is me trying to pretend i’ve been to coney island and i know what it is

- this is me trying to come up with a connection between the two songs which sound like they have nothing in common based off the names

- WAIT

- NO I GOT SOMETHING

- okay nvm i wrote this whole thing about this super detailed metaphor before remembering english is my worst class and it made no sense lol

- in conclusion this is me trying (and failing)

track 10: invisible string x ivy

- okay so ivy could be like the literal plant or like a name

- it obviously makes more sense for it to be a person, like she said invisible string was written after sending a baby gift to an ex or something

- idk how these are like related lol but maybe the ivy’s like a metaphor for something else in the invisible string story

track 11: mad woman x cowboy like me

- well they both have similar titles in the sense that they refer to a person or like a specific type of person

- are we getting a mad woman/cowboy love story

- it’s a love story, cowboy, just say yes

track 12: epiphany x long story short

- okay when i think of epiphanies and like the word epiphany, i think of like this long drawn out story or issue and then it’s like woah lightbulb

- i just think the titles alone have similar themes, they may not be related at all but i think they have potential to be

- like long story short could be like the telling of the epiphany yk?

track 13: betty x marjorie

- this is my third time describing this so yea in conclusion i think this is a betty/james/august situation

- i saw someone on twitter say that marjorie is the name of taylor’s grandmother or something ?? i might have made that up idk lol but maybe that’s like where the significance of the names come from this time

track 14: peace x closure

- the name’s of these songs give off such similar vibes

- they may not necessarily be like a part 1/part 2 type like the some of the other songs but i think they’ll be telling similar stories

- since peace was about taylor not being able to give the people in her life peace, this could be like a similar story like maybe it’s how she can never give closure to her former relationships because of the paps/press/media etc always prying in her personal life and like trying to determine which exes her songs are about etc so her exes never truly get closure or the opportunity to move on because the public never lets them forget

- kinda like when mr all too well posted that photo on instagram earlier this year and the comments were flooded with swifties lmfao like idk maybe they’ve like both moved on from that breakup etc (idfk it’s not my place to speculate) and everyone’s just like continuously reminding them of their past (this was just an example of like the themes of the song, i’m not tryna speculate about anything)

track 15: hoax x evermore

- i suddenly cannot remember any of the themes from hoax lmao im sorry

- all i remember from lpss is taylor talking about how she likes the word hoax

- evermore is such a cool word as well like maybe the theme is cool words

- i also think evermore is such a cool name for the album closer, i literally love her album closers so much bye

- change rights !!

track 16/17: the lakes x right where you left me x it’s time to go

- maybe she was left at the lakes

- and it’s like time to leave the lakes

- like it’s time to stop living that cottagecore fantasy and get back to work

- no im kidding pls take a break ms swift u work so damn hard ily

- and i think ur the only person that can combine work and cottagecore and make it so damn beautiful

the way i put a million times the effort into this as i’ve ever put into an english assignment damn

anyway i’m very excited

i’m extremely sleep deprived but excited

- happiness

- dorothea

- marjorie

- gold rush

songs that were actually from a diff pov:

- like all of them

anyway fr tho i absolutely loved it
