Amongst the 16 songs featured on "Folklore", there are three which Taylor has said are connected in a fictionalised story. The songs are "Cardigan", "August" and "Betty". They revolve around the story of a high school love triangle.
James is a seventeen years old guy. He is in love with Betty, but he cheats on her with Inez. Then, he regrets his mistake and he wants to come back to Betty.
