| evermore (2020) (Music) | comment |
evermore (stylized in lowercase) is the ninth studio album by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift.Announced on social media only the morning before, the album was released at midnight on December 11, 2020, fewer than five months after the similarly unexpected folklore.Swift described it as a "sister record" to folklore, an assertion borne out by the sonic and thematic similarity between the two which contrasts sharply with Swift's usual sound and image reinventions between projects. Like its predecessor, evermore features intricate lyrics, an emphasis on emotional storytelling, Alternative Indie production elements, and contributions from Bon Iver, Taylor's boyfriend at the time Joe Alwyn (under the pseudonym William Bowery) and The National. Also joined on this record as feature and background vocals are Haim and Marcus Mumford. | |

The Mistress | |
| evermore (2020) (Music) / int_15395adc | comment |
The Mistress: A small but pivotal character in "no body, no crime," as Este's husband murders her to move in with his side piece instead. "ivy" is more sympathetic, as the narrator is engaged or married to a man she doesn't love, and embarks on an affair she knows can't last—her love interest is this archetype (though their gender, and whether they're married themselves, is unclear) | |

Genre Shift | |
| evermore (2020) (Music) / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift: In an album of mostly moody and atmospheric alternative-folk, "long story short" is an upbeat indie-pop song with a drum machine. | |

Girl Next Door Turned Superstar | |
| evermore (2020) (Music) / int_1869370f | comment |
Girl Next Door Turned Superstar: "dorothea" is told from the perspective of an unnamed narrator whose high school sweetheart, the titular Dorothea, left their hometown and moved to L.A. in search of fame and success. Its companion song "tis the damn season" tells the story from Dorothea's perspective as she visits home for the holidays and contemplates whether leaving town was really the right decision. | |

Revenge Ballad: "no body, no crime" becomes this after the first verse, when the narrator realizes Este's husband killed her, and there isn't enough evidence to arrest him. She takes an alternative route to getting justice. | |

Ironic Echo | |
| evermore (2020) (Music) / int_237404cc | comment |
Ironic Echo: The chorus of "no body, no crime." First time, it's Este voicing her suspicions: she thinks her husband is cheating on her, but she can't prove it - "No body, no crime / But I ain't letting up until the day I die". Next verse says Este disappeared, and her husband's mistress took her place. Apparently, she let up because she did die, but "No body, no crime." The narrator figures this out but can't prove it, so she wows, "But I ain't letting up until the day I die." Next verse has the narrator killing Este's husband and disposing of the body, and the chorus goes, "No body, no crime" again: his mistress thinks the narrator did it, but she just can't prove it. The narrator gloats, "I wasn't letting up until the day he / Died." | |

Murder the Hypotenuse: A variant in "no body, no crime." Este suspects her husband is cheating, and he is... but his mistress doesn't kill her, he does. Whether or not the mistress was involved in the murder at all is left unclear. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| evermore (2020) (Music) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Cross with "Ray of Hope" Ending. The album ends with "evermore", a song that discusses depression and hopelessness in times of extreme duress, but ends with the hope that the pain won't be forever and that the narrator will get better one day. The album bonus track closer "it's time to go" is about someone who is leaving a toxic relationship with her head held high because she knew there is better future lie ahead of her. The song is a not-so-subtle diss against Scooter Braun and Scott Borchetta as well as a friend of Taylor who betrayed her (widely speculated to be Karlie Kloss). | |

Changing Chorus | |
| evermore (2020) (Music) / int_4d63c998 | comment |
Changing Chorus: In "No Body, No Crime" the first two choruses are identical, three repetitions of "I think he did it but I just can't prove it", followed by "But I ain't letting up until the day I die". (Although who "I" is and what the person thinks was done changes). The third chorus changes this to two repetitions of "They think she did it but they just can't prove it", meaning the police suspect the mistress of murdering the man involved. The third line is "She thinks I did it but she just can't prove it", meaning the mistress suspects Taylor of his murder. Finally, the song ends with "I wasn't letting up until the day he died." | |

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Implied in "champagne problems," after the narrator turns down her boyfriend's marriage proposal, and then reflects that he'll probably settle down with a perfectly nice girl eventually. The narrator of "happiness" spitefully suggests a "beautiful fool" will take her place as her ex's girlfriend, but then admits, "I didn't mean that," and admits she's not being fair, and that "there'll be happiness after me." She's hurt and angry, but she doesn't want her ex to hurt. | |

Sequel Song | |
| evermore (2020) (Music) / int_6298c177 | comment |
Sequel Song: "dorothea" is particularly similar to folklore's "betty," being a relatively jaunty One-Woman Song sung to a temporarily lost beloved. Taylor has also said that while the stories aren't connected, she imagines Dorothea went to the same high school as Betty, James, Inez, and "August" from folklore. The thirteenth track on folklore, "epiphany," was inspired partially by the experiences of Taylor's grandfather, Dean. The thirteenth track on evermore is about and named for her grandmother, Marjorie. | |

Silly Love Songs: "willow" is about falling in love with someone unexpectedly, but loving them all the more for it. "gold rush" is about the feeling of irrational jealousy that your partner is so desirable that everyone wants them. "cowboy like me" is about two con artists who have found love with each other. "long story short" is about making it through a rough patch in your life and eventually finding love with the right person at the right time. | |

First World Problems | |
| evermore (2020) (Music) / int_a7129d3b | comment |
First World Problems: Subverted by "champagne problems." The phrase is used to described this trope, and the song certainly started out with a heartbreaking but relatively minor problem: the girl rejected her boyfriend's proposal, but the song later heavily alludes to the societal judgment of the girl for not wanting marriage, with people saying she is "fucked in the head". | |

Black Widow: Implied at the end of "no body, no crime", where the townspeople assume that the mistress of Este's husband is this because she takes his money after Este's friend (the narrator) kills him. | |

Anti-Christmas Song | |
| evermore (2020) (Music) / int_a7de3c30 | comment |
Anti-Christmas Song: "tis the damn season" is a song about the narrator coming home for the holiday and hooking up with their old flame, bringing up feelings of bitterness toward their current life of chasing fame and questions of if she should have chosen her hometown, all while knowing that this rekindling cannot last and that she will be heartbroken to leave again. | |

Stupid Evil | |
| evermore (2020) (Music) / int_affd30b0 | comment |
Stupid Evil: Este's husband from "no body, no crime" is so absurdly bad at covering his tracks, you almost have to wonder if he wanted to get caught. Yes, pal, move in with your side piece before your missing wife's even been legally declared dead. Surely that won't raise suspicion at all! (For that matter, buying jewelry for his mistress on an account he shared with his wife was also an incredibly dumb thing to do). | |

Break-Up Song | |
| evermore (2020) (Music) / int_b28a8d0a | comment |
Break-Up Song: "champagne problems" is from the perspective of a woman who turns down her partner's marriage proposal, breaking his heart. "happiness" is about the fallout of a breakup that's especially painful because the narrator knows her ex-boyfriend isn't fully to blame, nor is he a bad person, and even if it's over, the relationship brought them both love and joy for a long time. She's trying to be cordial about it and wish him well, but she's in too much pain at the moment to manage it. "closure" is the narrator telling a former flame to get out of her life, she's not interested in staying friends and she just wants to move on. "coney island" is a duet about the two singers lamenting all the wrong they did to each other and how their relationship broke down. "right where you left me" is about the narrator being unable to move on from her ex years after the relationship ended. | |

One-Woman Song | |
| evermore (2020) (Music) / int_c4b74656 | comment |
"dorothea" is particularly similar to folklore's "betty," being a relatively jaunty One-Woman Song sung to a temporarily lost beloved. Taylor has also said that while the stories aren't connected, she imagines Dorothea went to the same high school as Betty, James, Inez, and "August" from folklore. | |

Cross with "Ray of Hope" Ending. The album ends with "evermore", a song that discusses depression and hopelessness in times of extreme duress, but ends with the hope that the pain won't be forever and that the narrator will get better one day. | |
