    the sound of this album suits her voice just perfectly. the lyrics are so vulnerable, pure and honest, making this connect with people easily. that’s what makes her special, and she did it once again. (let’s not forget about how creative taylor is, these are stories and characters that were made up by her, adding some of her personal experience of course. this is genius) great job taylor.the sound of this album suits her voice just perfectly. the lyrics are so vulnerable, pure and honest, making this connect with people easily. that’s what makes her special, and she did it once again.

    I really liked this album, it's my favourite of hers and probably one of my favourites of all time. I think its her most cohesive work so far. All the songs feel different, yet have a similar enough sound to give them a collective identity. The lyrics are simple but really beautiful, and the music is nothing alike anything in any of her other songs. The slower tempo really compliments her…I really liked this album, it's my favourite of hers and probably one of my favourites of all time. I think its her most cohesive work so far.

She details an enthralling story of loss, love and youth as the album progresses. The complexity of each song ties in with a desperate love story that swift is trying to tell, with key lyrics to link in each story, each individual and each emotion. Fans will have an amazing time picking apart the secret messages in the lyrics, as they engage themselves in what it means to be the subject of Swifts intent. Swift has worked through many genres, she has made every single one her own and has used them all to her absolute advantage. However, Swift needed this genre shift to demonstrate her true, authentic lyricism that is too often brushed over. This folk, indie, alternative album serves everything fans have been searching for since her depart from her third country/pop studio album, RED. After the commercial success of her previous pop albums 1989, Rep and Lover, Swifts approach to this new genre has been seamless. It is truly something that fits who she is without a doubt in anyone’s mind. This album is the type of album you want to hide away in a forest, lay on the ground, holding old literature and cry too, fall in love too and dissect everything single lyric, harmony and note. Her fans have been searching for something in her discography to rival the lyricism and intelligence in RED, her most critically acclaimed album so far, but also her most under appreciated. With Folklore, we have found it. I believe Swift has unlocked something in her musicality that she has been hiding since RED was written, her freedom, her storytelling, her openness to love and her ability to relive, create or view heartbreak and turn it into compelling poetry. This album will undoubtedly age in an incredible way, like the finest of wines produced from Europe. Long lost treasure that has been undiscovered for years. That’s what this album feels like, the feeling of running in the rain, growing old, and finding an intimate space you can only have with yourself and your thoughts. Swift allows others to experience things they never have before, through her words and her story telling. The amazing team that put together this album should be proud of themselves, it is her best work yet. It will outlive it’s time, as this album simply does not have a use-by date. I hope Swift continues with these unpopular genres and continues to make albums authentic to her, and showcase her amazing lyrical ability. Something the world needs most at this time.

    I've been a fan of Taylor Swift since her first album. Watch her grow, get mature and always deliver the best songs of all times with such passion and honesty is one of the reasons to love her every day. She wrote this album like who writes a novel and you can notice the story flowing through each song. I love this girl and everything about her!!!
    We're waiting for you in Brazil, Sparkly Princess!

    Aunque no lo estaba esperando (porque fue una total sorpresa) pronto descubrí que era simplemente lo que este mundo necesitaba. El sonido es melodioso, pero las letras... las letras son ORO. Combinado con la voz también melodiosa de Taylor, es simplemente una mina de oro y es perfecto

    Folklore is one of the best if it's not the best album of Taylor's discography. The all album is literally a magical poem. I don't know how but she keep surpassed herself and her level was already really high. TAYLOR SWIFT IS THE MUSIC INDUSTRY.

    Un álbum que lleva por un viaje mágico. Música minimalista, la voz de Taylor en su tono más dulce y líricas puras.
    Su excelencia está en su simpleza.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Her lyrical skills are enchanting. she has shown a bright yet homey facet of herself and her music that I personally enjoy more than lover. the concept, the sound, the production, the magical stories, THE VISUALS, its simply fantastic. truly love this new Taylor. anyone who has followed her for a while sees the maturity in her lyricism and stories. 'Exile' is 'The Last Time' part 2, with a much more mature POV and excellent vocals from Bon Iver and her. the love triangle is truly beautiful. the sarcastic tone in 'The last great American dynasty' is fantastic. the inherent feminism and strength in 'madwoman' prove that Taylor understands concept exposed in songs like 'The Man'.

    Taylor Swift showed us a new world, and im so grateful for it. Deserves AOTY (though she doesn't need it to prove she is one of the best artist of the generation)    … Expand

    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.
