    With just a 16 hour notice, Taylor released one of the most career defining albums in her path to success. Not only do we see a genre shift flawlessly done, the lyrics get deeper and vocals better. The album tracks give justice to the album name 'folklore'.

    A perfect example of storytelling and cohesion. The songs illustrate singular stories by themselves, but also one collective one that they all participate in. They always are in their own sub stories as well. Taylor Swift’s songwriting and storytelling has always been legendary, but this album is cements her as one of the best songwriters of all time.

    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.
  3. 60
    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.
