    ¿Alguna vez te preguntaste si era porsible que la música te lleve más allá del espacio y tiempo, pero a la vez te permita tener los pies en la tierra? Pues con Evermore es posible.

    this album is so monumental and gentle. It does feel like a collection of folklore outtakes which i can't decide whether it's due to the closeness in releases (eg.beach houses depression cherry and thank your lucky stars) but otherwise it continues to build in the achievements of folklore but like it's artwork suggests it's a happier version.

Autumn after folklore's winter. I found it exceptionally charming like a conversation with an old friend. It's mixture of truth and fiction work so well in building this narrative. I enjoyed no body no crime (i actually gasped and laughed at appropriate moments) ,happiness felt like this is me trying pt.2:the recovery and tolerate it eviscerated me. Closure seemed to borrow grom now frequent collaborator bon iver in it's intro with influence from the percussion of fiona apple. It diverts anyone's expectations for tge song. abd we understand why she doesn't need their ckosure because tge entire notion is an illusion unlike this very real display of artistic genius.… Expand

This album is a huge bop version of folklore and no skips when streams. Great work Taylor Swift. Album of the Year thing! Can't wait for the 3rd/last version of this trilogy. Long live Taylor! :)

This album boasts a hurricane of emotions intricately woven into hurtfelt words seemingly innocent at first but cuts you deep the instance you play the record.

Experimental and though foreign at first, it fits in the narratives perfectly untill I realized I cannot have it any other way after. Also might I just add that Taylor Swift is not known for her vocals but she makes me doubt that in this album because she sounds heavenly.

Too late to name Evermore the album of the year, but it always be the right time to say thank you, Taylor, for giving us the two best albums of the year.

    Taylor did it again, a perfect masterpiece, the storytelling is what Taylor was made for, she has the power and the ability to create worlds where in these moments you can lose yourself in them. Thank you, Taylor.

    Folklore was the best taylor swift record she had made and it was a career defining album for her. I never thought this could be topped yet she proved us wrong. She came back harder and stronger with evermore. Lyricism was topnotch as usual paired with ethereal production. Deserves the recognition it gets

    Perfeito, perfeito e perfeito. Adorei tanto quanto o Folklore, mas acho que acabei me apaixonando ainda mais pelo Evermore. São iguais e ao mesmo tempo tão diferentes... Esse álbum merece muito amor.

    Swift continues her masterful storytelling and incredible imagery again in evermore, truly a sister album to folklore sonically, but somehow everything is elevated! Example: In folklore, the woman is mad, in evermore she murders a man! The production and instrumentation on this album are far superior to any of her other albums! Her lead single is also one of the very best she's had,Swift continues her masterful storytelling and incredible imagery again in evermore, truly a sister album to folklore sonically, but somehow everything is elevated!

Her lead single is also one of the very best she's had, choosing Willow a magical, fantastical experience that will bring out the romantic in anybody. Willow is the amalgamation of Swift's song "Lover" and "Love Story". My holy trinity songs are "Willow", "No Body, No Crime" and "Gold Rush"!… Expand

    This album brings the amazing songwriting from folklore but where evermore edges out ahead of folklore is in its engaging & experimental production.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For Taylor Swift, 2020 was a year full of unexpected leaps. She showed that in July, when she dropped the homespun Folklore; she confirmed it again last month, when she released the documentary The Long Pond Studio Sessions and that film's attendant live album. And she demonstrated it once more on Thursday morning, when she announced her ninth full-length and Folklore's "sister record," Evermore.


    Folklore was a surprise on multiple levels: It was announced about 18 hours before its release; the collaborators she brought into the fold, including Aaron Dessner of the cognoscenti-beloved rockers the National, added dimensions to the sounds surrounding her already-formidable storytelling; and those stories focused on new characters, whether weary frontline workers or love-possessed teenagers. Evermore, recorded in the wake of Folklore after Swift "just kept writing," offers a different kind of revelation: It expands on its predecessor's promise in thrilling ways, with Swift cracking open her universe of subjects and following musical ideas to serendipitous places.

    Swift's lyric-writing abilities feel leveled-up on Evermore, its characters drawn in pointillistic detail. The gently weepy busted-engagement lament "Champagne Problems" opens with the couplet "You booked the night train for a reason/ So you could sit there in this hurt," a knifepoint depiction of someone looking to escape from themselves, and not just their situation. The luminous "'Tis the Damn Season" flips the seasonal-song script, Swift unspooling the story of a home-for-the-holidays fling amidst guitars that swirl like Hallmark-movie snowflakes. "Long Story Short" glances down the darker alleys branching off memory lane, its crisp beat turning its look back at the bad times into a shudder and its final line — "long story short, I survived" — into a sigh of relief. "Cowboy Like Me" depicts two con artists' slip-slide into romance, its sweet guitars and stray harmonica riffs adding a candlelit glow to its love story.


    Similarly, the musical risks on Evermore are bigger, both in scope and in payoff. "Tolerate It," a masterful portrayal of a marriage trapped in a downward spiral behind its smooth façade, mines extra tension from a rhythmic structure that echoes its lyrics' keeping-up-appearances anxiety — particularly when Swift growls "While you were out building other worlds, where was I?" on the bridge, syllables tumbling out at the speed of thought. "Marjorie," which honors the wisdom of Swift's grandmother Marjorie Finlay, uses a recording of the late opera singer as a counterpoint to Swift whisper-singing, "And if I didn't know better/ I'd think you were singing to me now," near the song's end; Finlay's fluttery soprano hovers above buzzing strings and synths, giving life to Swift's hunch. The title track, which closes the album, brings Justin Vernon of Bon Iver back to the forefront (he plays and supplies backing vocals elsewhere) for a musical representation of love bringing someone back from the brink, with Vernon's ghostly wail rising from the increasingly tumultuous music and ultimately serving as Swift's anchor. And then there's "No Body, No Crime," the collaboration with longtime Swift pals HAIM. An updated murder ballad — the honky-tonk's replaced by an Olive Garden, and at one point Danielle Haim punctuates Swift's claim of plausible deniability with a deadpan "she was with me, dude" — it's a callback to Swift's country roots that illuminates her growth as a songwriter since her debut full-length came out 14 years ago. "I have no idea what will come next," Swift wrote in a statement accompanying Evermore's release — something that observers could have said about what to expect from the singer had they been asked before they headed to bed on Wednesday night. That's probably for the best, though: Freedom from expectations has, both with this album and its predecessor, led to Swift's leaps giving new heights to her already-pretty-skyscraping career. A

    It is without question a wintering record, but out of this muted musical landscape songs of great and complex beauty emerge. [Mar 2021, p.34]

    Even though we get a catchy moment of goofy, snarling country midway through, the album is a result of the emotional clarity that a year in quarantine provided. Swift has written about curdling relationships splendidly in the past, but there's a new dimension to her writing that wasn’t there before. Onward.
