Katie and Madyson share their queer analyses on the songs Cardigan, August, and Betty, the love triangle of fictional/non-fictional characters on the album Folklore. They dissect all the ways that these stories might connect to Taylor Swift's personal life, and reflect on the queer innocence invoked in these songs. Referencing Taylor's 'hetsplanations' from her Folklore Long Pond Studio Sessions, they theorize how it may have been influenced by PR. Then, Madyson gives Katie a rundown on 'Grammygate', a term coined by Gaylors who are suspicious of William Bowery's identity. Trying to see the situation from every angle, they summarize their personal feelings towards Grammygate and why it was so impactful for Gaylors, specifically.
