I think Taylor often uses summer as a metaphor for coming out like daylight which makes sense since it’s a very sunny season and winter would then be the opposite of this. And it makes sense why folklore (spring/summer) and evermore (fall/winter) would directly follow lover if the failed coming out theories are correct. It was her way of processing these emotions.
I think this is what the transition from august to illicit affairs is supposed to represent. The vibrant sunset and rainbow colors (lover era) drain away and turn into gray (folklore era)—“you showed me colors you know I can’t see with anyone else.” The sunset visuals during august also indicate that summer and daylight are indeed the same thing metaphorically since the sun is going away as she sings “so much for summer love.” She was so close to claiming her sunshine, both the concept and person, but it slipped away from her 💔
I think it’s very poetic that there’s an alternative ending on folklore. Hoax is one possible ending, “my eclipsed sun…this has frozen my ground” and she could’ve stayed frozen in that winter but the lakes offers a bit of hope, “A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground” which indicates spring and summer have returned 🌹☀️ Similarly in the song evermore she decides to go back inside her warm cabin instead of staying out in the cold which she said represents finding hope again (48:00 of this vid). And to tie it all together she chose a cardigan, her “wool to brave the seasons,” as the main motif of folklore since this person kept her warm during that perilous winter.
They also usually have free wifi. One of the few places you can use the wifi without being expected to buy something.
sometimes they also have 3D printing services! and they will most likely also have useful resources like tax help, copyiers, color printing, a laminator, and similar. and mine at least has a little seed library with free seeds and instructions for people who want to start gardening!
Finally joined my library in the new town. It’s a very small place so the resources are limited, but it’s free and I can use BorrowBox now so that’s nice.
you know what never fails to get me? taylor wrote, “i guess that’s the price i pay for seven years in heaven.” taylor is known as a supposed serial dater who once made a big deal about ‘finally’ making it to the one year mark. none of her more well-known relationships lasted even close to seven years.
okay, okay, so maybe 'happiness’ is about joe? that song was released in 2020. when did taylor and joe apparently meet? 2016.
2020 - 7 ≠ 2016. nevermind that even if the math was remotely close, taylor was still dating calvin at that point and dancing with tom. i have trouble believing taylor would start counting the beginning of their relationship then, but i digress. nevermind that it’s a breakup song and taylor is still with joe according to the press.
you know what 2020 minus 7 does equal? 2013. when was her first vsfs performance? 2013.
