Jul 24, 2020Taylor Swift has showed once again her skills at both songwriting and producing, giving us the perfect example of what a cold august midnight at the woods would sound: tragic yet enchanting, with a sparkle of magic and beautiful lullabies as the soundtrack. 'Folklore' is fairly the best album of Taylor's career and of 2020, she makes art through music and music through art.

Jul 24, 2020Her best work yet. Lyrical masterpiece, sonic cohesion, beautiful storytelling. It’s the best possible mix of 1989, reputation, and moving picture-painting lyricism of Fearless and Speak Now. Really, her magnum opus.

Jul 24, 2020I have always been a fan of Taylor since I first heard Love Story. Throughout the years, I've stayed with her, most of the time out of loyalty. This record is exceptionally beautiful. It showcased her story-telling skills to a different level incomparable with her peers. I really enjoy this stripped-down, raw, immersive album.

Jul 24, 2020As a Taylor stan it’s kind obvious I adore her work but with Folklore she crossed ever line in all beautiful ways. Taylor deserve all the recognition especially in this work of art, personally my favorites albums of her 13 years on this industry are the ones that tells you something, takes you away to a unique storytelling experience.

Jul 24, 2020after all Swift’s albums, I think I could say that folklore is the best and most personal she ever made, so far. The lyrics, the melodies, the stories behind songs, all are captured in beautiful way. It’s calmer, simplier, but more rich and tasteful than 7 previous albums. Great job Taylor!

UncutAug 13, 2020It'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]
-
Aug 7, 2020A 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.
-
Aug 3, 2020These 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.
