Folklore Triangle

"There's a collection of 3 songs I refer to as The Teenage Love Triangle," Swift revealed. She has also confirmed that the characters are named after her friends' children, Betty, James (who is a female but in her song is a male), and Inez.

"You heard the rumors from Inez,"-"betty"

"She said James get in,"-"betty"

Betty is referenced several times in the song "betty".

Those songs are cardigan, august, and betty. Why?

The lyrics. "She said James get in let's drive," and "Do you remember when I said, “Get in the car” happen EXACTLY THE SAME TIME in both songs. Notice that in the beginning of “August”, there is a few moments of silence, probably because of this. The other similar lyrics are:

“And you’d be standing in my front porch line,”-“cardigan”

“But I’m here on your doorway,”-“this is me trying”

IN the song "Babe" by Sugarland and Taylor, 3:45 of this video, the letter says "August" in the corner and is signed by William. Is this a reference? Taylor says that these are merely stories, but fans believe they are based on something real. For example, in "Cruel Summer", there is a lyric, "I'm always waiting for you to be waiting below". This sounds like a reference to "Love Story". Both are about something forbidden... an "illicit affair". "Illicit" could just mean forbidden, what if it didn't mean cheating, what if it was just forbidden by others, like their parents? But, there is also a lyric, "And I snuck through the garden gate every night that summer just to seal my fate."-"Cruel Summer". And in "betty', there is, "Would you... leave me in the garden, in the garden would you trust me...?". In the "Peter losing Wendy," line of the "cardigan" video, there was pixie dust, possibly a reference to Tinker Bell. The water pouring out of the piano was in one of Hairy Styles' videos as well, "Falling". He is her ex. Notice that in the old room scene, in the corner there is a painting of a house by the sea, this could be a "the last great american dynasty" reference. The clock is pointing to one and three... thirteen... classic Taylor lol.

There is a video on MARCH 6 2009 titled, “I hope it’s gonna make you notice,” of Taylor, in a car, wearing the folklore Cardigan! You can find the video here Taylor is named after James Taylor. Karlie Kloss's middle name is Elizabeth, of which the nickname could be Betty. Plus, there is an entire song called “cardigan”. The title of something is what it is about, so if it’s really about Betty’s perception of the summer experience why isn’t it called that instead? It’s about “cardigan”, what if that represents Karlie Kloss? See Kaylor Theory Which talks about “Cornelia Street”. In that song there is a lyrics, “Jacket ‘round my shoulders as yours.” There is a photo she is in with Karlie, in which she is wearing Karlie’s cardigan. Is The Teenage Love Triangle about Kaylor?
