    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....

    She wishes so bad to be Lana Del Rey. But queen Lana will never ever be defeated. STREAM BLUE BANISTERS.

    Another mediocre album by Swift, nothing new. This album is boring and awful, a singer who became successful thanks to her rich father.

    All I know
    Is everything is not as it's sold
    But the more I grow the less I know

    Very monotone album. It also shows the lack of vocal training. Sometimes you can’t even tell when one song ends and the next starts because most of them sound the same.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Horrible album, song sleeping, this scoundrel had to appeal to make an alternative album imitating Lana's style to see if she is recognized for her compositions, all this doesn't pass to please the old grammy bench, and this extortion certainly did it.… Expand

    Taylor Swift's music would sound better if someone that can actually sing would be singing these songs.

    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.

    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.
