    Con "folklore", Taylor Swift se mueve entre las líneas de una hermosa narrativa y una producción limpia, melódica; simple pero efectiva.
    Como compositora se atreve a contar historias desde una perspectiva más amplia y madura; como cantante se arriesga con un sonido nuevo y fresco, poco comercial pero eternamente atrayente.

    this album is what we all needed i during this difficult time. it feels like that hot chocolate on a stormy night, that hug from a childhood friend and warm of a blanket. the lyrics filled with metaphors is still very Taylor Swift and her signature narrative songwriting style

    Her most mature and best piece of work ever. She keeps surprising me. With a shift to a different genre for the second time, she has proven that she's a risk taker and never fails to outdo herself.

    This strange summer of arrested development is steadily ending. Folklore will endure long beyond it: as fragmented as Swift is across her eighth album – and much as you hope it doesn’t mark the end of her pop ambitions – her emotional acuity has never been more assured.

This album you can't hope for a very catchy song but every of the songs from this album you may have found at least one song which match your mood very much. This album's lyrics are blessing.

    Once again Taylor Swift has delivered perfection. This album has everything we like about her previous albums but MORE. Lyrics, vocals, melodies, metaphors, etc. This once again proves her genius mind and her ability to switch genres as easy and successfully as we change socks. Taylor is without a doubt THE artist of the decade.

    As a Taylor Swift fan since 2006 I am sure many will assume bias in my review. However, I did not give this album a 10 simply because of my love and adoration for this talented singer. Instead it is due to the songs strong melodies and beautifully written stories. This album is unlike anything she has ever done. Gone are the funky beats and polished songs in hopes of grabbing mass media attention. There are no calculated or strategically well placed moves with the release of this album. Rather than hidden Easter eggs, weeks or even months of promotion, Taylor released this album just hours after it's announcement. A smart movie as it stands on it's own. Stories written like poetry, letters and untold memories; this music is no longer about just one girl but the lives of those who have touched her along the way. It is fresh and though you won't be pumping it as you drive down the beach, with your top down, these are songs I have already found myself dancing to in the kitchen in the middle of the night. Mirrorball sounds as though it has been stripped right out of an 80's movie, slow dance, prom scene. There is tension, angst and a beat that you find yourself swaying to as you carefully step around the house. Exile is a hard hitting ballad that leaves your heart aching. Rather than her typical high notes and guitar rift love songs, this one is stripped and painful in the beautiful. The honesty leaves you with goosebumps as you picture your own young romance and the way it, most likely, fell apart. Every song bring a new character, story or imagery that is vividly painted with talented words. This album is Taylor Swift at her best, almost touching upon roots, to create something that his honest and pure. It's folky mysteriousness leaves you feeling as though you have been transported to a whole other world and for sixty three minutes and twenty nine seconds you are anywhere else other than where you really are. Taylor has always had the ability to write lines that hit hard and touch people in a way many artist can accomplish. While the musical styling might be different with Folklore, her ability to pack the same punch is not lost.    … Expand

    Este álbum é indiscutivelmente sutil, perspicaz e vívido. É uma obra de arte; é tão profundo como as faixas dialogam umas com as outras e a sonoridade é tão rica. Taylor Swift abriu mão do pop sintético, super comercial e adolescente, e o resultado é um álbum maduro, jovem (paradoxal) e autêntico. É inspirador! Nota máxima!!!

    A new side to Taylor Swift, showing just how versatile the singer/songwriter really is. This dreamy melodic album has a unique twist from Swift showing a sense of vulnerability and emotion whilst also exploring songs that mimic the effect of old tales and bonfire stories. Probably the best album of this year so far.

    Folklore is Taylor's most sonically and lyrically cohesive and most magical album to date. She explores the joys and pains of love and nostalgia, as well as an array of other themes. Her voice complements the folky, indie style of this album beautifully and the feature track with Bon Iver is a real treat. Another standout track is My Tears Ricochet, which is a self written masterpiece. SheFolklore is Taylor's most sonically and lyrically cohesive and most magical album to date.

    Very poetic album, The new Queen of Alt . From pop jaggaurnaut to alt legend. Only Taylor Swift can do that. Lana and Lorde pack your bags. She should have named the album f*cklorde.

    Es diferente a todo lo que hizo antes, sin transición un cambio radical, digno de una artista de su magnitud.

    This is the album Taylor Swift was born to write. She has cemented herself as one of the best songwriters of all times.

    I was beautifully surprised about this album drop, it was everything I didn’t expect from Taylor in regards to the production of the music and style. This album is Red’s big sibling, more mature, emotional, and sonically cohesive. Her talent as a storyteller really shines throughout the album.

    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.
