    Para mim um álbum chato mais que levou a taylor para um outro patamar para crítica e os seus fãs, mais o álbum não me pegou em nada ao contrário senti foi muito sono ouvindo.

    BORING, LAZY, AND TRASH. This album was the most generic yt album ever, no good songs on it and one of the most boring albums i have ever heard, should’ve kept it in the drafts, maybe if she worked with scooter it would have been better but it flopped like usual and freefell of the charts for a reason, the 20+ vinyls she made for it shows how desperate she is for this album to chart,BORING, LAZY, AND TRASH.

    O álbum todo soa igual, canções de ninar e histórias chatas por trás. Ta mais para um ASMR mesmo, combina com a voz dela....

    Confused on how this won album of the year. The bar is truly so low for Taylor to have AOTY within her grasp. The only good thing I can say is that this album is an actual album, an actual cohesive body of work because she IS story telling. This album truly is folklore and the title makes perfect sense.

First of all, the production on this album is basic, the producers did not do a good job in producing complex and authentic instrumentals. Vocally, my expectations were not that high as I am aware that Taylor is not very vocally capable. Hence, because of the repetitive production and monotonous vocals, the album was boring and almost all the tracks sounded the same. The only good feature of the album was the lyrical content, which I have to give credits to Taylor for creating beautiful storylines. However all in all, in conclusion, the album was extremely mediocre. Expand

    It's a sharp turn to the left for Swift and a fine reminder that she is more than just a gleaming pop phenomenon, but a remarkable songwriter too. [Oct 2020, p.36]

    A modern-folk masterpiece which finds her moving from her previous pop bangers into stunningly simple yet sharp melodies, ‘folklore’ will be going down in Swiftie history as one of her most unexpected, and undoubtedly one of her best.
  3. 60
    These 16 tracks (17 on the deluxe version) play out quite pleasurably in their entirety, the joins between Swift, Dessner and Antonoff ultimately only of niche interest. But Swift’s powerful songs reach their climaxes with bittersweet orchestrations, rather than blows to the solar plexus or a ringing in the ears. Everything hovers; little truly lands.
