As soon as I heard the first one, I understood why he calls them \u2018sketches.\u2019 The first time I heard the track for \u2018cardigan,\u2019 I saw high heels on cobblestones.

After Taylor asked if I would be interested in writing with her remotely and working on songs, I said, 'Are you interested in a certain kind of sound?' She said, 'I\u2019m just interested in what you do and what you\u2019re up to. Just send anything, literally anything, it could be the weirdest thing you\u2019ve ever done,' so I sent a folder of stuff I had done that I was really excited about recently. 'cardigan' was one of those sketches; it was originally called 'Maple.' It was basically exactly what it is on the record, except we added orchestration later that my brother wrote. I sent [the file] at 9 p.m., and around 2 a.m. or something, there was 'cardigan,' fully written. That\u2019s when I realized something crazy was happening. She just dialed directly into the heart of the music, and wrote an incredible song, and fully conceived of it, and then kept going. It harkens back to lessons learned, or experiences in your youth, in a really beautiful way, and this sense of longing and sadness but ultimately, it\u2019s cathartic. I thought it was a perfect match for the music, and how her voice feels. It was kind of a guide. It had these lower register parts, and I think we both realized that this was a bit of a lightning rod for a lot of the rest of the record.\u00bb\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-q-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-blockquote__author\">Aaron Dessner<\/cite>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8deeff1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"8deeff1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9609324988608069\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9609324988608069\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"6058700135\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5322ae1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5322ae1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Music Video<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6dce707 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6dce707\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe song&#8217;s music video, which was written and directed by Taylor and shot during the early months of the Covid-19 pandemic, finds Taylor shifting through different places by the magic of playing the piano.

Lead Single | folklore (2020) &#8220;cardigan&#8221; is the lead single of Taylor&#8217;s eigth studio album, folklore (2020). It was released alongside the album on July 24, 2020, through Republic Records. The slow-burning folk ballad sees Taylor singing about a love lost in memories from the perspective of a woman named Betty, one of the many fictitious characters she created for folklore. Table of Contents Background and Composition \u201ccardigan\u201d is believed to be the third part of the \u201cTeenage Love Triangle,\u201d told from the point of view of Betty. The storyline is preceded by \u201caugust\u201d and \u201cbetty.\u201d Taylor explained in a livechat the night of the release of folklore: &#8220;There\u2019s a collection of three songs I refer to as The Teenage Love Triangle. These three songs explore a love triangle from all three people\u2019s perspectives at different times in their lives.&#8221; She further explained the meaning of &#8220;cardigan&#8221; by saying: \u00abThe song is about a long lost romance, and why young love is often fixed so permanently within our memories. When looking back on it, why it leaves such an incredible mark and how special it made you feel; all the good things it made you feel, all the pain that it made you feel&#8230;The line about feeling like you were an old cardigan under someone&#8217;s bed, but someone put you on and made you feel like you were their favorite.\u00bb Taylor Swift Taylor further told The New York Times in 2021: &#8220;The quality that really confounded me about Aaron\u2019s instrumental tracks is that to me, they were immediately, intensely visual. As soon as I heard the first one, I understood why he calls them \u2018sketches.\u2019 The first time I heard the track for \u2018cardigan,\u2019 I saw high heels on cobblestones. I knew it had to be about teenage miscommunications and the loss of what could\u2019ve been.\u201d Producer Aaron Dessner sat down with Vulture in 2020 to talk about the album in depth. He told the magazine the following about &#8220;cardigan&#8221;: \u00abThat\u2019s the first song we wrote. After Taylor asked if I would be interested in writing with her remotely and working on songs, I said, &#8216;Are you interested in a certain kind of sound?&#8217; She said, &#8216;I\u2019m just interested in what you do and what you\u2019re up to. Just send anything, literally anything, it could be the weirdest thing you\u2019ve ever done,&#8217; so I sent a folder of stuff I had done that I was really excited about recently. &#8216;cardigan&#8217; was one of those sketches; it was originally called &#8216;Maple.&#8217; It was basically exactly what it is on the record, except we added orchestration later that my brother wrote. I sent [the file] at 9 p.m., and around 2 a.m. or something, there was &#8216;cardigan,&#8217; fully written. That\u2019s when I realized something crazy was happening. She just dialed directly into the heart of the music, and wrote an incredible song, and fully conceived of it, and then kept going. It harkens back to lessons learned, or experiences in your youth, in a really beautiful way, and this sense of longing and sadness but ultimately, it\u2019s cathartic. I thought it was a perfect match for the music, and how her voice feels. It was kind of a guide. It had these lower register parts, and I think we both realized that this was a bit of a lightning rod for a lot of the rest of the record.\u00bb Aaron Dessner &nbsp; Music Video The song&#8217;s music video, which was written and directed by Taylor and shot during the early months of the Covid-19 pandemic, finds Taylor shifting through different places by the magic of playing the piano. The dreamy video presents a cottagecore aesthetic and features Taylor in three different settings: a cozy cabin in the woods, a magical moss-covered forest and a dark stormy sea, representing different phases of a relationship. She said in a tweet that everyone who was on-set took extra precautions to prevent the spread of the virus: &#8220;The entire shoot was overseen by a medical inspector, everyone wore masks, stayed away from each other, and I even did my own hair, makeup, and styling.&#8221; Live Performances Taylor performed &#8220;cardigan&#8221; in her 2020 concert documentary film, folklore: the long pond studio sessions, alongside all of the other tracks on folklore. She performed a shortened version of &#8220;cardigan&#8221; at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, as part of a medley with &#8220;august&#8221; and &#8220;willow&#8221; (2020), in a cottagecore setting featuring a moss-covered cabin inside a forest, accompanied by collaborators Dessner and Jack Antonoff. Pitchfork&#8216;s Cat Zhang named the performance as one of the show&#8217;s best moments. She praised Taylor&#8217;s vocals and the enchanted forest theme of the staging, and dubbed Taylor&#8217;s look for the performance as a &#8220;benevolent fairy princess in a kingdom of dwarves&#8221;. On &#8220;The Eras Tour&#8221; (2023), &#8220;cardigan&#8221; was part of the regular setlist. Critical Reception Upon release, &#8220;cardigan&#8221; received critical acclaim. Pitchfork&#8216;s Jillian Mapes wrote that the song&#8217;s &#8220;overlapping details and central framing device \u2014 of a cardigan forgotten and found without a second thought\u2014are pure Swift&#8221;. Laura Snapes of The Guardian described the song as &#8220;cavernous and shimmering as a rock pool in a cave&#8221;. NME writer Hannah Mylrea defined the song as a &#8220;swirling amalgam&#8221; of gleaming production, swooning strings, flickering piano, and lyrics that exude pain from young love, and praised Taylor&#8217;s songwriting for &#8220;stunningly&#8221; conveying complex mixed emotions of hurt, jealousy and heartbreak in a &#8220;gorgeous&#8221; folk tune. Billboard, on their list of &#8220;100 Best Songs of 2020,&#8221; placed &#8220;cardigan&#8221; at No. 11, calling it &#8220;a lead single unlike anything Swift had released before.&#8221; Emphasizing its &#8220;finest&#8221; storytelling, The Plain Dealer ranked the song No. 6 on its list of best songs of 2020. Complex listed the song at No. 21 on its ranking of best songs of 2020, highlighting Taylor&#8217;s evolved songwriting.
