Dessner recalled that \u201ccardigan\u201d and \u201cseven\u201d laid out the roadmap for writing the rest of the album. He classified the song as \u201cwistful and nostalgic\u201d, a contrast to its \u201chazy\u201d predecessor \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/index.php\/albums\/folklore-album\/folklore-songs\/mirrorball\/\">mirrorball<\/a>\u201d and the following track \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/index.php\/albums\/folklore-album\/folklore-songs\/august\/\">august<\/a>\u201c, which he viewed as the most pop song on the record.

Anyway, there's a lot of people who are either fathers or father figures. To me, it counts exactly the same. So, tomorrow is Father's Day, and you [Aaron] are a really good one. And I was thinking about the song we're gonna play. I'm not trying to brag, but I actually have a really, really incredible dad! He's just the best and I love him so much. And the song we're about to play has to do with really fond memories of childhood and growing up in Pennsylvania. It also mentions a friend's father and how, you know, when somebody doesn't have a good dad and how hard that can be for them. So, if anyone here has a complicated relationship with their dad...or if you wanna think of the people who have played a father figure role in your life tomorrow and tonight.

folklore (2020) \u201cseven\u201d is fittingly track seven on Taylor\u2019s eighth studio album, folklore (2020). It is a story about a childhood friend who seemed to have an unhappy life at home. Taylor reflects back on her innocence when she was seven years old, and how she thought that all problems could be easily solved. Table of Contents Background and Lyrical Theme All tracks of folklore were conceived by Taylor as imageries and visuals from her deep subconscious, a result of her imagination \u201crunning wild\u201d while isolating herself during the Covid-19 pandemic. \u201cseven\u201d was the second song that Taylor and her co-writer and producer, Aaron Dessner, wrote for the album, following \u201ccardigan\u201c. Dessner recalled that \u201ccardigan\u201d and \u201cseven\u201d laid out the roadmap for writing the rest of the album. He classified the song as \u201cwistful and nostalgic\u201d, a contrast to its \u201chazy\u201d predecessor \u201cmirrorball\u201d and the following track \u201caugust\u201c, which he viewed as the most pop song on the record. He feels that \u201cseven\u201d is as a defining moment of folklore, commemorating friendship and nostalgia. Taylor herself said the following in the 2020 documentary folklore: the long pond studio sessions: \u00abWith \u2018seven\u2019 I was looking back. When I see a kid throwing a massive tantrum in a grocery store, part of me is like, \u2018Man, I feel you. When did I stop doing that when I was upset? When did I stop being so outraged that I would throw myself on the floor and throw the cereal at my mom?\u2019 So the idea is, \u2018Please, picture me in the trees before I learned civility. I used to scream anytime I wanted.\u2019 Obviously, we can\u2019t be throwing tantrums all the time and we learn that that\u2019s not the right thing to do. But there\u2019s something lost there, too.\u00bb Taylor Swift \u201cseven\u201d is a nostalgic and \u201cwistful\u201d folk song innocently presenting the pureness of childhood friendship being dragged out of a seven-year-old Taylor by her inability to comprehend the emotional and physical abuse of her friend from their parents. Two little girls in the Pennsylvania woods, trying and failing to understand each other. It\u2019s a lost childhood bond, from the perspective of a kid too young to recognize that her friend\u2019s angry dad is the ghost in their family\u2019s haunted house. (The traumatizing fathers on folklore are a plotline in themselves.) The little girls dream of escaping, running away to be pirate twins, but there\u2019s no resolution \u2014 just a mystery that gets more confusing as she tries to live with it. Aaron Dessner told Vulture in 2020: \u00abIt\u2019s kind of looking back at childhood and those childhood feelings, recounting memories and memorializing them. It\u2019s this beautiful folk song. It has one of the most important lines on the record: \u2018And just like a folk song, our love will be passed on.\u2019 That\u2019s what this album is doing. It\u2019s passing down. It\u2019s memorializing love, childhood, and memories. It\u2019s a folkloric way of processing.\u00bb Aaron Dessner Live Performances Taylor first performed \u201cseven\u201d as part of the concert film and documentary folklore: the long pond studio sessions (2020), together with Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff. On \u201cThe Eras Tour\u201d (2023), \u201cseven\u201d serves as a spoken interlude, introducing the \u201cfolklore act\u201d of the show. On June 17, 2023, Taylor chose it as the first surprise song for her \u201cThe Eras Tour\u201d show in Pittsburgh. Aaron Dessner was the surprise guest and accompanied her on piano. Taylor introduced Aaron and the song by saying: \u00abOh look, Aaron Dessner is here! [\u2026] This is what I would categorize as a \u2018soulmate collaborator\u2019. He is the most incredible musician, instrumentalist, songwriter, producer, and without him folklore wouldn\u2019t have happened. [\u2026] And I wanna say something really quick: All night, I\u2019m looking out into this crowd and there are so many amazing dads here, who brought their kids (or they have kids but they didn\u2019t bring them). Anyway, there\u2019s a lot of people who are either fathers or father figures. To me, it counts exactly the same. So, tomorrow is Father\u2019s Day, and you [Aaron] are a really good one. And I was thinking about the song we\u2019re gonna play. I\u2019m not trying to brag, but I actually have a really, really incredible dad! He\u2019s just the best and I love him so much. And the song we\u2019re about to play has to do with really fond memories of childhood and growing up in Pennsylvania. It also mentions a friend\u2019s father and how, you know, when somebody doesn\u2019t have a good dad and how hard that can be for them. So, if anyone here has a complicated relationship with their dad\u2026or if you wanna think of the people who have played a father figure role in your life tomorrow and tonight. I\u2019m just really grateful for my dad, for you [Aaron], and for anyone out there who has spent hours and hours to be at this show with their kid. Thank you for that.\u00bb Taylor Swift Critical Reception Several critics pointed to the song as highlight on folklore. Rebecca Karpen of PopMatters described the song as \u201cheartbreaking\u201d and found its narrative \u201chorrifying\u201d, with a young Taylor failing to understand her friend\u2019s abuse, stating that it made her \u201ccry in the middle of 4th Avenue in broad daylight.\u201d Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone ranked it as the 19th best song in Taylor\u2019s catalogue at the time, praising the \u201cmystery that gets more confusing she (sic) tries to live with it.\u201d In a review published in The Guardian, Laura Snapes described the loss of innocence depicted in \u201cseven\u201d and the self-interrogation it reflects as \u201cdevastating.\u201d Slate\u2018s Carl Wilson opined that \u201cwriting of child abuse with this lightness of touch is a feat\u201d. In an NPR critics roundtable, Ann Powers chose \u201cseven\u201d as a standout on folklore, arguing it defined folklore\u2018s underlying web of memory. Ryan Leas of Stereogum wrote that it \u201cleveled [him] each listen\u201d and ranked it as his 4th favorite song of 2020.
