First thoughts TTPD:
What a lana x folklore girlie win this issss!
1.Fortnight is about matty?? HAHAHAHA also why did this make me think of when holt was going running with the ladies when he was in witness protection??? Crying. Fav line has to be they were supposed to take me away but they forgot to come and get me. So sad but also so cool in relation to her cancellation/return. 10/10
2. TTPD- not so hahahaha anymore IS THIS ACTUALLY A FUCKING MATTY HEALY ALBUM??? There was a typewriter at the 1975 show she performed anti-hero at? Unless its somehow about harry? Who else is tattooed on her roster??? Or is this about herself? Kinda feel like modern idiots/whoā€™s going to decode is directed at us lolšŸ˜‚ 9/10?
3.My boy only breaks his favourite toys- went in expecting mad woman rage. Pleasantly surprised. king of my heart to queen of sandcastles he destroysā€¦.DESTROYED ME. Are you fucking kidding me rn? Im caling it. Best song. Im crying at 7.30 am this is not funny anymore. Also THANK YOU FOR NOT SLANDERING DAD. I knew you wouldnt let us down like that. Also the chorus sounds like long story shortšŸ˜­ oh this is so sad. Once i fix me hes going to miss me? He was my best friend?šŸ˜­ he runs because he loves me? StoppšŸ˜­šŸ˜­ 1000000/10
4.Down bad- ā€¦.aaaand weā€™re back to MATTY AGAIN? He does not deserve this spotlight but why are all the song so gooodšŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ is this why artists love to date problematic men? It unlocks some extraordinary potential? Crazy crazy girlšŸ˜­ also stay down (bad) šŸ¤ŒšŸ¾ shes done it again 10/10 also for personal reasons i will be believing this is about joe in that Tom/Joe/met gala overlap period when she was photographed going to the gym a lot and that this is about all that yearning please let it be about that plesplesplesplesplesples also down bad waking up in blood staring at the skyā€¦like i lost a twin is giving bigger than the whole skyšŸ„ŗ
5. So long, london- so so long long, lon-don DONE? ok miss girlšŸ˜­ the hoax parallelsšŸ˜­ dont be undoing the song i was going to play at my weddddding what is wrong with youšŸ˜­ my only one my smoking gun to two graves one gun youll find someone??? Also reminds me of la la land :/ how much sad did you think I had in me? You wrote hoax so a lot ok leave us alone. crying again. 10000000000000000/10 oh lol its a track 5 ofc it isšŸ˜‚
6. But daddy I love him- she really said if you ever liked, shared or even LOOKED at the ļæ½ļæ½ļæ½vivaa las vegasā€™ memes you cant come to the wedding and shes so real for it. Lfgggg. Ubothered unhinged uhmazing. Growing up precocious sometimes means you still hold on to that princess/quarterback wattpad fantasy AS IS YOUR RIGHT QUEEN GO THE FUCK OFFšŸ„³ 100000/10 calling out toxic fandom for the first time and we love to see itšŸ«” this is suchhhh a happy songggg you deserve ALL the chaos and revelry.
7. Fresh out the slammer- god she gets it. Like sure he was great and he is still my biological father and everything but as a decidedly melancholy person myself who has constantly had atleast one close friend in a deep depression I can see how all that heavy lifting can just get heavy at some point especially when youre a partner and their sole lighthouse in wtv storms be out there buffeting their mental health. Its not for everyone and thats so fair and so valid but so sad as well. 10/10 for the honesty.
8. Florida- she really said girlrot summeršŸ«” this is the lanaest song ever. So lucky one/nothing new coded. This will be the First song I repeat and then so long london. Aaaghhh how i love a self aware melancholic anxious little superstar. 90283749292/10 thank you for giving florence an entire verse whew. Little did you know your homeā€™s really only a town youā€™re just a guest in is soooo going on my body forever
9. Guilty as sin?- honestly just fuck if it means we dont have to hear about how desirable ratty healy is man ffs. IThe only reason he looks so hot is bc hes forbidden. You have to trust me on this. Heā€™s sooo mid JESUS. U cant be writing hozier lyrics about a man that hasnā€™t met a showeršŸ˜­ 1000000/10 writing. -16392992/10 content. Unrequited love/lust truly is the greatest weapon in a poets arsenal bc where is this energy in the joe songs binch?šŸ˜­ this is such a teen in love with a 26 yo creep who called me so mature for my age mom you just dont get ittt anthemšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
10. Whoā€™s afraid of little old me?- is a warning šŸ˜‚ im so here for it. Like yes I still hate matty with all my heart and soul but yes I agree fans should not be allowed so much of an opinion on another persons life and yes I should be afraid (I am). She said aight love letter era over I AM WRITING YOU ALL HATE MAIL AND Iā€™M HAND DELIVERING IT. Shes sooo done pretending to be the relatable girl next door when sheā€™s anything but and is now reminding us of it and yes yes yessss girl OWN ITTTTTTTT. Iā€™ve been saying for agesssss that there is a darkness under all that sunshine from where she clawed her way to the top and this is sooo vindicating. 10000000000000/10 favourite song ever. Mad woman wishes she was whoā€™s afraid of little old me. I am unwell. I am in love. This is the Taylor Swift i stan. The marketing genius the calculating business woman the puppet master with narcotics in her songs thats why we sing alongšŸ«” she so can handle a dangerous man
11. I can fix him (no really I can)- you cant.
12. loml- ofc. OFC. Its the saddest song of all time. OFC. Fuck offf ughhhh. šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ its giving happiness. Its giving divorce. i am a child of a broken home now and my parents still love each other and hold so much regret still. What do i do with thissss? Im just a little girl taylorrr! 1002380292011010101/10 soo so gooood.
13. I can do it with a broken heart- first of all track 13. Love it. Second of all the upbeat barbieness of it all. Third of all I FINALLY PLACED IT. Shes in her unrelatable era. She is not your girl next door. You will never understand her life. She is as much a phenomenon as a person and we literally only see as much as she allows us to and honestly if i have to get put in my place theres noooo better way to have it done. Im having such a great time actually. 10 BILLION TRILLION OUT OF 10 you tellll em girl you FUCKING TELL EM.
14. Smallest man who ever lived- not going to speculate on who it is bc they clearly had a serious problem and its not a joke but damn :/ thats so sad :/ hope they get help? Didnt expect this to be what the song was about at all?
15. The alchemy- she said TRAVIS IS MY BOY WITH HER WHOLE CHESTšŸ˜Œ 10/10
16. Clara bow- did she just name drop herself ? I was so right about unrelatable era. Also the Subtle nod to olivia/sabrina noted and appreciated. Lucky one/castles crumbling (mature version) fr fr. Solid legacy song.
17. The black dog- shared your secrets with and location is the same whiplash as a red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground with no one around to tweet itšŸ¤ŒšŸ¾ joe songs hit so so different šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ 1000000000/10
18. imgonnagetyouback- the valiant roar was not so valiant and more of a mew i guess. 7/10
19. The albatross- oh this is the ONE. The album defining song for sureeee. Mad woman on coke. A rose by any other name is a scandal???? Thats my religion right there. Little last great American dynasty twist there at the end! Fuck yea. She does reallly try to warn the men in her life have to give her that. One gazillion/10
20. Clearly god has favourites and they are the ppl called chloe or sam or sophia or marcusšŸ˜­ ALSO this song is about joe for sure. The internet starlet hasss to be delaney rowe!!!! It HAS TO BE. 10/10
21. How did it end?- shes back for the fansšŸ˜‚ plot twist the breakup is with yallšŸ¤ŒšŸ¾ but yesss say it louder! One gasp and then how did it end. So good. 100/10
22. So high school- lmao aristotle grand theft auto ONLYY taylor swift manšŸ˜­šŸ˜‚ you know what you want and boy you got heršŸ«”šŸ«” 11/10
23. I hate it here- motherā€™s having a mental breakdown kids yk the drillšŸ¤ŒšŸ¾ 10/10
24. ThanK you aIMiee- what better way to say fuck you to a hater than to thank her for jumpstarting your legacy my god!!! She is insane for this. The capitalisation is a bit petty tho ngl. 8/10
25. I look in peoples windows- once again I thank you for the kindness and respect shown to joe. Never doubted you but thank you nevertheless. 10/10 short as nice to have a friend but it didnt need to be longer.
26. The prophecy- its so sad and humbling to see even a woman at where she is having to beg for love bc that literally is the nature of love. Something humiliating, to have to beg for šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø cards playing out like fools in a fable cursed like eve got bitten. No one writes like her damn. 10/10
27. Cassandra- very madeline miller on this one. Love love loveee modern takes on tragic greek women. 100/10
28. Peter- ah fuck. This one is going to hurt (it did). 1000000/10 my ribs get the feeling she didšŸ˜­ all her joe related aches are so bone deeeep ugh. Promises oceans deep but never to keepšŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ oh god it hurtsss it hurts it hurtss
29. The bolter- curious child ever reviled except by her father wow.
30. Robin- OMG! I needed this song growing up sooo bad. That way to go tiger felt so so warm like running into a kitchen after a day of being in the mud and u tell ur mum the silly things u did and shes genuinely interested and impressed by your smol victories. A bajillion/10
31. The manuscript- postmortem of every ex everšŸ¤ŒšŸ¾ love it.

Took me waaay too long to realise ā€˜you know I adore you. Iā€™m crazier for you than I was at 16, lost in a film sceneā€™ is a reference to when she LITERALLY WROTE A SONG CALLED CRAZIER for the Hannah Montana soundtrack and was dating another beautiful blue eyed golden retriever boy.
Quintessential swiftie behavioursšŸ¤¦šŸ¾ā€ā™€ļø counting holes in fences and missing obvious in your face easter eggs.

I have this theory that ā€˜Bigger than the whole skyā€™ is from the midnight she couldnā€™t sleep from worrying about her momā€™s health and spiralled down into the worst possible what if scenario .
Sheā€™s talking about a grief so big that ā€˜No words appear before her in the aftermathā€™ and we know words are exactly how she processes romantic relationships so it cant be about them.
Every single thing I touch becomes SICK with sadness.
Cause its all over now, all out to sea and going out to sea could be a euphemism for dying?
Did some force take you because I didnā€™t pray seems to link back to Desperate people find faith so now I pray to Jesus too
Every single thing to come has turned into ashes 'Cause it's all over, it's not meant to be
So I'll say words I don't believe ( saying Soon youā€™ll get better when youā€™re unsure of it yourself)
And the chorus is self explanatory.
Idk it just makes sense. Especially with it being the saddest song on the whole album and about someone bigger than the whole sky

If i had a nickel for every surprise drop of a whole extra album i would now have 3 nickels which isnt a lot but crazy that its happened thrice
Second First thoughts:
Ofc she would drop 7 more songs. 44 mins was always too little. I shouldā€™ve known better šŸ¤”
Ah yes the great war is exactly the kind of overthinking and fucking up good things I was waiting for. Itā€™s such a literary treat the crazy number of on theme metaphors she packs her songs with. I think sheā€™s exhausted every war allegory out there.
Bigger than the whole sky is archerā€™s equally depressed twin and im their lesser known triplet damnšŸ„¹ also couldā€™ve wouldā€™ve shouldā€™ve??? Nicee
Paris is so POP. Its like sonically paper rings but the lyrics are darker and more anxious and insecure. Swooping sloppy cursive letters. WHO THE FUCK RHYMES Paris and somewhere else? Only the same woman who rhymes cardigan and car again thats who
High infidelity is sooo renegade. ā€œDo you really wanna know where i was april 29ā€ ā€œDo you really wanna talk about timing at times like theseā€ also is this the husbands pov from tolerate it ? You know there's many different ways that you can kill the one you love The slowest way is never loving them enough? Picket fence sharp as knifes?? Take my whole breath away maā€™am
Glitch is odd in a way i cant put my finger on. its so sweet but so sensual in its vibe im confused but i love it. Also is the hint 3 yrs in advance about the glitch transition she used in her wildest dreams announcement tiktok????
Wouldve couldve shouldve is my favourite of this set my god. This song checks all of my boxes. Such a vibe. That ooooo is just *chefs kiss* if mad woman sang dear john she would produce wtv this masterpiece is.
Dear reader is marjorie but with the lol idk tho disclaimer at the endšŸ˜‚ ā€œnever take advice from someone whoā€™s falling apartā€ but solid advice damn. If you aim for the devil make sure you dont missšŸ‘Œ
I claim Wouldā€™ve couldā€™ve shouldā€™ve and bigger than the whole sky for mental health reasons thx
This set is definitely that crash after sheā€™s home from the club. The album is finalllly complete. Aaaarghhhh. I just need to find hits different now. And then go lie down and recuperate before anti hero mv comes out and wrecks me all over again
First thoughts:
Lavender haze feels like Lover and Future Nostalgiaā€™s incredible love child.
Maroon is about Harry. Thereā€™s too many 1989 references for it to be anything else. This chorus reached into my chest and punched me in my fucking heart. Also I need a compilation of Taylor saying fuck for mental health purposes
Anti hero is everything I expected it to be. Its me. Hi. Im the problem. Its me.
Does anyone else feel like the verse of snow on the beach is just like the verse of the way I loved you???? Also no lana verse?šŸ„¹ why no lana verse?šŸ„¹ i cri
Track 5 felt so not sad until she dropped her voice for ā€˜youā€™re own your own kid you always have beenā€™ and then I diedšŸ˜‚ and then the ending is so uplifting Youā€™re on your own but you can do it and yk what now that Taylor said it, it does feel possible šŸ„¹
Who tf is singing on Midnight rain? Oh wait taylors back oh wait who tf is back now?
Can I ask you a Question? My god so passive aggressive I love itt
Vigilante shit has my hair on end omggg. The beattt. I donā€™t dress up for women I donā€™t dress up for men I dress up for revenge. Any dude who does a girl dirty this year is just asking for it. Sheā€™s going to destroy you with these lyrics all over her ig stories
Bejewelled. One word shimmer āœØ iykyk. Bejewelled is if the bad bitch of reputation stopped giving a fuck. Major Anthem.
Labyrinth. If it rises fast it cant lastšŸ˜­ weā€™re back to soul crushing I see. Oh the eldritch horror from midnight rain is back on its cameo shit.
Karma. Fuck yea go straight for the jugular babe. Give us everything. Karma is a cat purring in my lap? Me and Karma vibe like that? Fuck YES QUEEN. Karma IS your boyfriend. Hell shes your handmaiden.
Sweet nothing. Thereā€™s something about songs Joe writes that really get me. Its just so cuteeee. I spy with my little tired eyešŸ„¹
Mastermind? Already? No? We cant be done???? This is a love song?? WtfšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚. Plot fucking twist.
Vigilante shit and Maroon have me on the ground for different reasons both good ones though. Ughhh I love this album so so muchhhh
Album as a whole completely defied my expectations. I was expecting a sad, crying in my bedroom vibe and its more of a manic in the bathroom of a club vibe like yk sheā€™s going to go home and fall apart in the worst way but this is that moment when shes running on pure fumes and manic energy

Either Iā€™m sleep deprived or Taylor has driven me absolutely crazyā€¦ hereā€™s why I think Lover and Midnights are cousins lol
Jimmy Fallon interview Nov.2021
Tumblr media
And we got suspicious and started clowning buttttttt and stay with me here (I was looking for clues and stuff last night and I found this)
October 21, 2018 post ā€œlet the games BEGIN.ā€
Tumblr media
(SHE HAS THE FACE OF A WOMAN THAT KNOWS WHAT SHES HIDING WILL CERTAINLY END US ALL AND SHE KNOWS THAT WE KNOW) itā€™s practically that meme with the little girl standing in front of the burning house! THEYā€™RE THE SAME PICTURE
Tumblr media
Anyways we started coming up with theories and clowning once again untilā€¦ she posts this
4months and 3 days after her ā€œlet the games BEGINā€ insta postā€¦
Tumblr media
4+3 is 7 obviously itā€™s her seventh studio album hence the 7 palm trees emoji she used. We started to try and guess the name of the new album that we knew was coming and started counting the STARS and palm trees and coming up with theories AGAIN. Some of us were confused because of said STARS and how they had any correlation to this album and then WE FORGOT ABOUT THE DAMN STARS BECAUSE SHE HIT US WITH THE FIVE HOLES IN THE FENCE POST. Okay a couple of instagram posts later we get this post with the lyric (that we didnā€™t know was a lyric) ā€œstep into the daylight and let it go.ā€
Tumblr media
Keep in mind we still didnā€™t know the name of the album yet, we even suggested that the album was going to be called Daylight and then butterflies because she kept posting her butterfly heels. Then she starts posting close ups of her outfits in her ME music video with hearts and we had that big neon sign of ā€œloverā€ in the video and started feeling confident that lover was the name of the albumā€¦
Tumblr media
We get a high five from Taylor for figuring out the mural was for her and we once again start counting everything and anything. But notice how there is not 7 but 8 stars in the butterfly mural, remember when we thought that lover was supposed to have a side B? Maybe idk MIDNIGHTS, Iā€™m crazy. (maybe šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø idc at this point Taylor made me this way) Iā€™ll get back as to why I think ā€œloverā€ has something to do with her 10th studio album.
Tumblr media
Again on the same day we get another post with you guessed it STARS. Also keep in mind her hair has been PINK this whole time.
Taylor confirms the album name on her instagram live on June 13, 2019 we then get YNTCD as a single and we freak the fuck out bc itā€™s Taylor duh šŸ™„. We get the album cover with her hair now BLUE (no big deal) šŸ‘€
August 13th we get dice that add up to 10 and 10 heart emojis, so track ten of lover. Why is it important we donā€™t even know the name of the track yet.
Tumblr media
THREE DAYS LATER we get a post with her and BLUE HAIR. The caption is a lyric of her next single ā€œloverā€ and we get a music video now that is very important for this last bit, but we donā€™t just get this post we get all the track names.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now why do we get Daylight as one of the first post of the track names? Oh maybe Taylor just wanted them to be in order and lined up on her instagram, yeah maybe idk. Okay ignore that last bit if you want to.
We then get the Lover music video that was (cough cough) 3 Years ago.
Tumblr media
Also I think I know why thereā€™s a nail missing on the board game. See how itā€™s the pointer finger, we tend to put blame on others or give excuses to why we made certain decisions . Now yā€™all remember when we were kids and teachers will tell us not to point bc we have one finger pointed at others but four fingers pointed back at us. We literally lie awake questioning the things we say to the people closest to us. I mean does the board game not say itā€™s THE ONLY GAME THAT QUESTIONS YOUR ANSWERS! Tell me what are you doing in the middle of the night, questioning every decision that youā€™ve ever made hence why you canā€™t sleep. (Well at least thatā€™s what Iā€™m doing lol) because although we may not be in the wrong, when youā€™re awake in the middle of the night youā€™ll always feel like those four fingers are pointing back at you.
We also get some dice again in the board game and we get hinted at track 3 aka Cruel Summer where she mentions a lot of BLUE in her lyrics (Ik you think Iā€™m reaching at this point haha but again idc because Taylor said that she toyed with the idea of naming the album Daylight instead of Lover) Daylight aka ā€œLoverā€ is bright happy and sunny obviously the opposite is blue and dark aka Midnights.
Okay now back to the dice and number 10 and we now know that track 10 of ā€œLoverā€ is called DBATC. Now here is the interesting part that kept me up. The lyrics sounds oddly familiar to me. ā€œFlashbacks waking me up I get drunk, but it's not enough.. look through the windows of this love Even though we boarded them up Chandeliers still flickering hereā€ ā€œI ask the traffic lights if itā€™ll be alright They say, I donā€™t Knowā€ does that not sound like. ā€œ We lie awake in love and in fear, in turmoil and in tears.We stare at walls and drink until they speak back.ā€
Tumblr media
I mean is this not the same thing just worded differently?
So after all this am I still the only one who thinks Midnights is side B of Lover if the pandemic didnā€™t interrupt Lover era and folklore and evermore didnā€™t come to be, and instead of folklore being her 8th studio album it would have been MIDNIGHTS hence why thereā€™s 8 stars in the Lover butterfly mural and why folklore cds came with STAR confetti. I mean she didnā€™t plan for folklore or evermore hence why the album covers are either far from her or she has her back turned because she was inspired(so she says) by other people and stories and with midnights we get her face on the cover again because theyā€™re her stories now so weā€™re all up in her business again OR HAS TAYLOR OFFICIALLY BROKEN MY WEE BRAIN AND I NEED TO BE LOCKED UP CAUSE IVE GONE CRAZY šŸ¤ŖšŸ˜…
itā€™s about to be 2 am so if this all sounds crazy itā€™s not my fault hahaha.
currently feeling like this..

You know what I think folklore is a male album and evermore is female in that the focus of folklore is on men. Even when overtly about women theres a man lurking in every song. And evermore is female through and through. The male is usually absent, circumstantial or even collateral damage but the woman is the driver of all the stories.
Folklore songs are
Either with man as the focal point of the story telling like in exile, cardigan-betty-august trilogy, epiphany, invisible string
Or focused on the consequences of his actions (intentional or otherwise, good or bad) like in cardigan-betty-august, illicit affairs, my tears ricochet, mad woman, seven
Or based on yearning for him like the 1, hoax, august, cardigan, exile
Or about the omniscient male like mirrorball, the last great american dynasty, mad woman, peace, seven, this is me trying. There may be no overt mention of him but heā€™s always there, sometimes even within herself, watching, judging.
And evermore songs are
about female protagonists- dorothea, marjorie, tis the damn seasons, cowboy like me, right where you left me, tolerate it.
about the violent, melancholic woman within us all, about her madness- champagne problems, no body no crime, her sadness- evermore, ivy, tolerate it, happiness, her regret- marjorie, coney island, her rage and resilience- closure, long story short, willow, evermore, its time to go.
While gold rush, cowboy like me, tolerate it and willow might seem to be about the men its more about the men through the female gaze.
I feel like this is why evermore is also free to explore some darker, richer, madder feelings because the woman is no longer being watched. Where mad woman speaks in riddles and metaphors of scorpions and breathing fire, no body no crime has actually followed through on murder. Where peace and mirrorball have an almost apologetic tone towards her lover even after he has chosen to be with her, cowboy like me and tis the damn season reach out and seize him, taking exactly what they want. Every emotion that was tightly leashed, simmering under the surface in folklore bursts forth and is given free rein in evermore like the sadness of hoax vs the bone deep ache of evermore. The hesitant homosexuality of seven vs the blatantly lesbian ivy. The threats of my tears ricochet vs the actions of its time to go. The other woman (passive) of illicit affairs vs the other woman (active) of tis the damn season. Even the pain of cardigan is superficial and juvenile and packaged cutely as compared to the deeper far more devastating and messy aches portrayed in tolerate it and happiness. Idk man folklore has a man in it and evermore doesnt.

So The phone? The title? Definitely one of her worst midnights? This song is going to be about Kim recording editing and masterminding the narrative behind *that call* right? Right?????
