Out of 17 total tracks, "Betty" comes in at #14, just before Folklore ends (via NPR). And yet, Betty trended on Twitter just a few hours after the album dropped, due to intense fan speculation about the song's meaning. Swift admitted in a letter posted to Twitter that, for this particular record, she found herself, "Not only writing my own stories, but also writing about or from the perspective of people I've never met, people I've known, or those I wish I hadn't."
As per the lyrics on Genius, "Betty" is told from the perspective of a boy, James, who is looking back on how he treated a classmate named Betty. The narrator refuses to take responsibility for past mistakes, while Betty has flourished, leading it to be heralded in certain quarters as a feminist anthem. Swift confirmed three tracks on Folklore form part of a so-called "teenage love triangle," of which "Betty" is surely one, explaining, "These 3 songs explore a love triangle from all 3 people's perspectives at different times in their lives" (via Just Jared).
