starting with cardigan- betty looks back on when james cheated on her, she is sad and broken-hearted, a truly beautiful melancholy song.

•“high heels on cobblestones” “when you are young, they assume you know nothing” “chase two girls, lose the one” “i knew you’d miss me once the thrill expired and you’d be standin’ in my front porch light and i knew you’d come back to me” “to kiss in cars and downtown bars”

august- from the pov of inez, describes the affair she had with james, is light hearted yet also wistful

•“cause it was never mine and i can see us twisted in bedsheets” “your back beneath the sun wishin’ i could write my name on it” “cause you weren’t mine to lose” “back when i was livin’ for the hope of it all” “remember when i pulled up and said “get in the car””

betty- from the pov of james, denotes his love for betty and how he deeply regrets the affair with inez

• “you heard the rumors from inez you can’t believe a word she says most times, but this time it was true” “i’m only seventeen, i don’t know anything” “i was walking home on broken cobblestones” “she pulled up like a figment of my worst intentions she said “james, get in, let’s drive”” “yeah, I showed up at your party will you have me? will you love me? will you kiss me on the porch” “standing in your cardigan kissin’ in my car again”

in this moment now capture it, remember it🎓

Dear @taylorswift ,

I know you’ll never see this but in the event that you do, I just want you to know how much you mean to me. I’ve been listening to and relating to your music ever since I was eight years old. Whether I’m in the back of the car, in my mirror, in my shower, or basically anywhere I always find your music making my day better. Your talents have truly helped so many people around the world including me discover themselves. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without your music, and anyone who knows me could tell you that. I have so many memories that I will never forget that go hand in hand with your music as the soundtrack to them. From singing in my room by myself while I get ready for a big event, crying in my bed with your music to help me get through a hard time, screaming your songs in my backyard at night by the fire pit with my best friends, or literally penetrating my throat singing my heart out at your live shows (my personal fav 💕🥺). This is me thanking you for making your music and being a genuine kind person who uses their talent for good. Never stop being the way you are <333

So much love,
