    Taylor Swift's best album of her entire career combines her skilled eye for specific, searing and evocative lyrics with haunting melodies. She tells all manner of stories that reflect on love, loss, betrayal, childhood, and even death. This album feels like a meditative distillation of the human spirit's complexity, made more poignant by the dark times we live in.

    Folklore is truly one of Taylor’s best albums, if not her best. It’s different from everything she’s ever done, and that’s what’s so amazing about Taylor as an artist, that she isn’t afraid to try new sounds and new styles of music as long as it feels right for her and portrays her feelings the right way. One thing that always remains the heart of Taylor’s work is the lyrics that sheFolklore is truly one of Taylor’s best albums, if not her best.

One thing that always remains the heart of Taylor’s work is the lyrics that she writes, which in this album are absolutely astounding, the storytelling is out of this world. Keep in mind that she wrote this in quarantine and took inspiration from a lot of situations including some fictional ones, so don’t even try to pull out the old narrative that the media created about her and her past relationships, and just enjoy the music. This album is a masterpiece. Also the fact that she wrote, recorded, and released the album along with a beautiful music video all in the span of 4 months is incredible. Proud of her.… Expand

    Folklore proves that Swift’s songwriting can fit any genre. Folklore is mature, whimsical and emotional. A different look from her happy, romantic side in her previous album, Lover.

    Folklore is Taylor's best album so far. There are a whole range of emotions and stories with its plots and characters. She's successfully widens her range of songwriting and music production. Her vocals are on point and could soothe any scarred soul. Folklore is a masterpiece.

    Ms. Swift’s foremost album, lyrically and cohesively. From track 1, “The 1” where she sings of a lost love that could’ve been, to track 16, “Hoax” where she sings of faithless love; the folklore theme is evident throughout.

    This record sounds nothing like Swift has ever done, yet it sounds exactly like her. Not just an album, but an expression of human emotions and feelings wrapped in themes of nostalgia, romance, revenge and heartbreak. Truly, Swift's peak as an artist.

    The lyricism, the whimsical journey through a story arc. This is just an incredible album.

    The way these lyrics give you more than a typical tv show plot! The trio of cardigan, August and Betty - tells a crazy love triangle from each perspective! Nobody else has the talent to do THIS!

I’ve listened to it on repeat for hours. I’ll listen to it when I feel lonely and when I feel deep moments of sadness, knowing these songs will make me feel so much less alone.… Expand

O Álbum é bastante coeso e limpo, Taylor Swift criou uma Atmosfera mágica surpreendente em seu novo álbum, diria que é seu trabalho mais maduro. Um outro ponto positivo é que apesar das 16 faixas, o álbum ñ se torna cansativo. Na verdade foi tudo bem pensado desde as composições até mesmo a estética do álbum. A sonoridade me lembrou muito alguns trabalhos da Lana Del Rey, creio que foi uma grande inspiração para a Taylor. Destaques do álbum: Exile, This is me Trying, seven, August e My tears ricochet.

She deserves aA household name such as Taylor Swift can do whatever she pleases and still succeed. Despite knowing that the immediate musical success relies in composing upbeat pop tracks and distributing them massively, Taylor Swift has decided to take the biggest risk for a pop star in recent memory by turning her highly anticipated next musical project into a smooth indie folk album. She deserves a lot of credit only for doing this since she has left the easy path to release something musically pleasing that feels personal and true, something fresh and authentic, something real. Swift's music has taken a new radical direction and, honestly, I love it. To abandon the lyrics about her recent lovers and starting writing about other people's experiences as if it was a photo album means leaving apart a part of her essence as a songwrtiter and artist yes, but, at the same time, the morbidness the media has had with her records since the beggining of her career has ended or might start dissapearing now. It isn't Taylor Swift who has changed but people's perception on her persona. To treat this girl as an artist who writes about past relationships and personal experiences instead of a manipulative cold-hearted b*tch that wants to tear every boy on Earth down is something that should have been done years ago. This is what I call coverted sexism, something to fight against to.
    Anyway, back to the music. With "folklore" Swift has demonstrated that she is one of an artist. Collaborating with members of eternal rock/indie bands from The National to Bon Iver, her music has reached another level of personal and general satisfaction. If I am allowed to, I might say this is the best English language album I've ever paid this much attention to and respected this much since "Melodrama" by Lorde back in 2017. Actually, to me, "folklore" feels like a dark B-side of the mentioned album; it is a musical experience, where you travel to a broken dark Beverly Hills, where dreams break down and tears fall. Covering themes as interesting as politics, love, heartbreak and death, I can affirm without any doubt that this is the best project Swift has put out in her entire career. This is something we all needed in her discography, it feels so damn great it hurts. What also is very positive is that "folklore" has the essence of a traditional album. Beyoncé one said that modern day artists only focus on releasing a bunch of singles and then drop them in an album that feels more like a singles collection than anything else. Who would have known that it would be Taylor Swift who told Beyoncé she was wrong? Nobody. This is just an album, a collection of private material written from the heart and soul of the artist, one where you can feel the pain in every sung word.
    In conclusion, with "folklore", Taylor Swift has consolidated herself as a musician instead of a vulgar pop star, she has exploted her talent as a performer and songwriter to the maximum level rubbing shoulders with the elite of indie rock music in order to make the most pleasant, listen-worthy album to ever be released in modern history. With freedom, care, delicacy and a lot of love and passion for the art, Taylor Swift has just released a masterpiece. Just press play and enjoy Taylor whispering to the trees as a suffering soul; step into this blue psychological therapy and accompany us to this "How I Met Your Mother"-style personal couch conversation with your beloved ones. Do not ever miss this album, its the most beautiful.    … Expand

    Es un excelente álbum, muestra una faceta nueva de Taylor, con letras frágiles, vulnerables y sensibles. El tema indie y la voz de Swift juegan en un mismo tono. Simplemente lo mejor se Taylor hasta ahora.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album is lyrically beautiful and just comes across as very sincere. As many have said very much a sonic shift from the previous albums but it is a good one. The songs flow very well and listening to them is a great escape from the world right now. Pretty much perfect in my eyes… Expand

    A beautifully written masterpiece. Full of melodies and ballads that speak to the heart. I love this album. It brings you back and takes you inside a story that you may have never been to before while also reminding you of times you may have forgotten. Like opening an old box left in the attic. Brings you nostalgic feelings and brings you to the woods and fall.

    This album just proves why Taylor swift is the artist of the decade. She switched from Country to Pop to Alternative just like that. This album deserves a grammy. A masterpiece indeed.

    Taylor Swift mostra mais uma vez, que ela é incrível e talentosa não importa o estilo da música, esse álbum é a prova disso, fazia tempo que não ouvia um álbum tão perfeito, coeso, com as composições tão lindas e maravilhosas, Taylor Swift é a compositora do milênio

    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.
