1 Single (Germany) | folklore (2020) \u201cthe 1\u201d is fittingly the opening track on Taylor\u2019s eighth studio album, folklore (2020). It centers around the nostalgic remembrance of myths and lost loves. It contemplates an alternate life in which old wishes came true and resulted in a life with a former lover. Table of Contents Background and Lyrical Theme In a 2020 Vulture interview, producer Aaron Dessner revealed that \u201cthe 1\u201d was one of the two last songs Taylor had written for folklore, the other being \u201choax\u201c. She went through the files that Dessner had sent to her and wrote the song to one of the compositions, in a couple of hours in the middle of the night. Dessner worked on the music for the voice memo Taylor sent back, tracked her vocals, and sent it to Bryce Dessner in France, who added the orchestration to the song. Taylor described the song as a \u201cbookend\u201d to folklore the album. In the documentary folklore: the long pond studio sessions (2020), she said: \u00abI think, \u2018I\u2019m doing good, I\u2019m on some new shit, been saying \u2018Yes\u2019 instead of \u2018No\u2019 has a double meaning. Opening the album with that line applies to the situation that this song is written about where you\u2019re updating a former lover on what your life is like now and trying to be positive about it. But it was also about where I am creatively. I\u2019m just saying \u2018Yes\u2019, I\u2019m just putting out an album in the worst time you could put one out, I\u2019m just making stuff with someone who I\u2019ve always wanted to make stuff with, as long as I\u2019ve been a fan of The National. I\u2019m just going to say \u2018Yes\u2019 to stuff and it worked out.\u00bb Taylor Swift Lyrically, written from the perspective of a friend, \u201cthe 1\u201d sees the narrator describe their optimistic headspace, reminiscing positively on a past love, confessing that they wish they could have been soulmates, with an underlying sense of humor juxtaposed against the sadness. Aaron Dessner told Vulture: \u00abIt\u2019s clear that \u2018the 1\u2019 is not written from her perspective. It\u2019s written from another friend\u2019s perspective. There\u2019s an emotional wryness and rawness, while also to this kind of wink in her eyes. There\u2019s a little bit of her sense of humor in there, in addition to this kind of sadness that exists both underneath and on the surface. I enjoy that about her writing.\u00bb Aaron Dessner \u00a0 Live Performances Taylor first performed \u201cthe 1\u201d as part of the concert film and documentary folklore: the long pond studio sessions (2020), together with Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff. The song was added to \u201cThe Eras Tour\u201d (2023-2024), starting in Arlington. It replaced \u201cinvisible string\u201d and was part of the regular setlist until May 2024. From then on it was cut in order to make room for the TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT set. On July 13, 2024, Taylor played an acoustic mashup of \u201cthe 1\u201d with \u201cWonderland\u201d (2014) in Milan. Critical Reception Upon release, \u201cthe 1\u201d received praise from music critics, who commended its stripped-back nature and witty lyricism. Roisin O\u2019Connor of The Independent praised the track for its lyrics, characterized by one-liners. Vulture\u2018s Craig Jenkins thought that the song sees Taylor contemplating \u201clanguidly\u201d, yearning for a \u201cstorybook romance of her own or gesturing to some of the great love songs in recent history in her writing\u201d. Callie Ahlgrim of Business Insider named \u201cthe 1\u201d one of the 16 best songs of 2020 in her mid-year list, and called it one of \u201cthe most relatable and stirring\u201d songs Taylor has ever released.
