The different ways people interpret the folklore love triangle are sooo interesting (and all of them are valid not trying to say otherwise!) but to me it’s very clear that August & Betty are the high school-era songs whereas cardigan is the retrospective of an older Betty (in her 20s or 30s). To me the narrative reads that Betty & James got back together after his August summer when he kissed her in the garden. They stayed together through their early 20s (~to kiss in cars in downtown bars~ what high schooler do you know who is doing this?) But THEN he left again (this time for school maybe, or a job or something. ~stepping on the last train marked me like a bloodstain~). It’s like, James tried to change the ending the day he showed up in her garden, and it worked for a time, but the ending was always inevitable even from that moment in high school. Peter losing Wendy. Leaving like a father, running like water. Betty knew that at the time (~I knew everything when I was young~) and got back together with him anyway, and now she’s left bleeding, chasing shadows of him.

Also I do interpret the last lines “i knew you’d come back to me” as them finding their way back together for a second time in the end (not about him showing up in her garden), but I think it can be left open-ended as her just being wistful.

everyone is always quoting the ‘you drew stars around my scars’ but they always forget ‘and now I’m bleeding’ which makes the lyrics so much more powerful and deep and oh my god so painful.

I know Taylor is very careful about how she is perceived so I’m interested to see how this moves going forward. Will he not show up so blatantly at shows anymore like this is the most bad pr she’s gotten since like 2016 and I’m sure she doesn’t like that

i think he will absolutely be at upcoming shows. this is my own conjecture but i think she knows there's a lot of news about what's happening (good and bad) but she doesn't care

The thing I hate most about Pedro Pascal getting extremely more popular recently aside from people asking him strange questions all the time is I’ve seen people make fun of him for wearing cardigans like. This is an almost 50 year old South American man that’s his Latino swag. You don’t even get it like what are you doing here.

"Cardigan is from Betty's perspective from like twenty to thirty years later, looking back on this love, that was this tumultuous thing. In my head, Betty and James ended up together, right? So in my head, she ends up with him, but he really put her through it. But August was obviously about the girl that James had this summer with, right? So she seems like she's this bad girl. But really, she's not a bad girl, she's like really a sensitive person who like, really fell for him and she was trying to seem cool and seem like she didn't care because that's what girls have to do, and she was trying to let him think that she didn't care, but she really did and she thought they had something very real. And then he goes back to Betty. So the idea that there's some like, some bad villain girl in any type of situation who like, takes your man, is actually a total myth because that's not usually the case at all. Like, everybody has feelings and wants to be seen and loved, and just like... Augustine, that's all she wanted was love."
