What a total wanker. And slandering Ines? Fucker.

Crikey, I didn't know this 😧 I'm a massive TS fan (I'm obsessed and still pinching myself that I'm going to one of her Edinburgh shows in the summer!) but I've just read an article explaining the love triangle songs.

I'm choosing to blame the fact that I'm autistic and miss 99% of subtext. At school, my poor English teacher had a terrible time trying to make me understand that poems aren't saying what they're saying, and clearly it hasn't improved for me since 2005 😅

I find poetry exhausting- prose that makes you work for it, nooooo!

My friend occasionally sends me links to poems have moved her but I just think “Could you have not just said ‘I love my cat’ 😆 Am total Philistine

@amusedbush well that makes the OP seem weirder - because they're all just little girls.
The eldest (James?) is what - 10?

Aren't those the names of Blake Liveys daughters?

Yes, they are friends. The song mentions Betty, James, and Ines.

Edit: Sorry, didn't see the Ines part in the OP!

@Zarahlovesthebeach It’s about a love triangle played out in 3 songs on the Taylor Swift Folklore album, each song narrates the story of one of the 3 people without explicitly saying so. They are very cleverly written.

@TheFlis my bad - it’s not clear from the song, but in Folklore - the long ponds sessions (on Disney and very charming if you haven’t seen it) she confirms they get back together

Oooh I will look those up. Thank you.

I thought this was going to be about the brother and sister on Race Across The World

I see Mumsnetters are still doing that 'Let's post something cryptic that only certain people will understand so we can feel important and exclusive like the mean girls at school' thing, then.

I have no idea what we’re talking about but I’m siding with Betty and think she looks stunning in her new cardigan.

@HermioneWeasley They had a relationship but then he cheated on her over the summer break. Betty and Cardigan both end with James going to try and get her back but we never find out if she accepts.

Zarahlovesthebeach · 11/04/2024 14:33

Can someone explain what this means please?

HermioneWeasley · 11/04/2024 14:30

She didn’t - “cardigan” makes clear they had a long term relationship (but I agree, I wish she had told him to fuck off)

Singleandproud · 11/04/2024 14:30

Yea not many people are going to get this generally MN is anti TS.
