    Taylor nos presenta uno de sus mejores discos. Música tranquila y que mantiene un arco de historia muy interesante; agregado a eso, experimenta con un nuevo género, que, aunque ya ha sido usado, Swift agrega su toque y lo hace especial.

    Lyrical masterpiece. Even though this is different from what we’ve heard from her this music suits her voice so beautifully and her potential is showing more than ever. She’s evolving in every way and this album proves it.

    This album is honestly a masterpiece. Taylor really has an amazing way with words and her story telling in this album is what hooks you in. Their wasn’t a single song you would want to skip because, they’re all good songs. This is my new favorite Taylor Swift album and I don’t know if she will ever be able to top this album.

    This album is a pure work of art. Taylor bravely changes genres is incredible. And the collaborators are incredible too. And the songs give me chill, relax and don’t give a **** vibe but some of them might make you emotional for no certain reasons. For me, the is the most artistic album that Taylor ever released yet.

    I’ve been listening to Taylor Swift’s writing since I was 11 years old, had curly hair, chubby cheeks and glasses. Today while I lay in bed I feel like that day when I first played Tim McGraw.

    I fond Taylor Swift's storytelling and how she pulls out this new genre. The touch of folk, indie, alternative rock and a slight pop, Taylor Swift is loved by the people because of her creative mind. From the lyrics, on how she puts those words fit right in through everyone's heart. She always make sure that these songs is relatable to the audience.

    This album is the perfect example of why Taylor Swift has captivated me and many others for years now. Her ability to construct songs is uncanny and rare. With this album she proves that she can write outside of her own experience. The folky sound fits the lyrics and her voice so well that is makes this album sonically cohesive and soothing to listen to.

    Álbum magnífico; Conceitual; E que faz refletir sobre a vida de um outro olhar; Coerência e perspicaz.
    Ele é, Melancólico, bonito e uma lindeza trágica.
    Taylor Swift mais uma vez se mostra ser uma pessoa mais que excelente na composição e produtora de suas canções, e sua voz me soa como anjo nos meus ouvidos.

    This album is beautifully made lyrically and it’s a cohesive body of work. It is something very different from what her mainstream pop listeners are used to but it is masterpiece that tells a story and takes you to a euphoric place sonically.

    This album is one of the best she has written because it captures her feelings from the depths of her being, also the notes she makes are perfectly angelic and the sounds are charming

    A cohesive album with her most mature and beautiful songwriting. My favorite tracks are “cardigan”, “the 1”, and “exile”. Make sure to give it a listen!

    Not the usual sound for Taylor but it really suits her voice though. And the lyrics of this album is above and beyond. It'll definitely give you chills.

    This album is different from her past works. Folklore literally shows Taylor's amazing songwriting skills and vocals. Queen has reinvented herself again❤

    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.
