    Amazing work. The capacity of Miss Swift to change the kind of music she does, it looks like an easy labour. But we all know Taylor is on another level and she is demostrating again that music industry belongs with her.

    Incredible album. It has a completely different sound that any of Taylor Swift's previous albums, yet it's such as good as them. It's the opposite of her previous album "Lover" which just shows how talented she is. The album is filled with songs with a nostalgic sound, great lyrics and amazing production. It's, by far, her best album.

    Taylor just renewed herself over years. From Fearless,1989 to folklore, we can always expect her bringing something new to this complicated, fast-paced music industry. However, someone just gave her 0/10, but I have to review this masterpiece in an objective perspective. We need this type of art in 2020!!

    Em seu oitavo álbum de estúdio, Taylor Swift prova mais uma vez porque deve ser considerada a maior compositora deste século.

    Com produções folk de cunho bucólico, Swift mergulha em um novo gênero musical, que transita entre folk, pop e alternativo. Após gerar a divisão de opiniões com seu famigerado ''Lover'', Taylor entrega uma nova ideia ao ouvinte, um álbum de capacidade imagética impressionante que remete á ambientes campesinos, uma tarde de verão, amores secretos e até mesmo epifanias. A priori, em seu lead single, 'Cardigan'', Taylor explora um conceito escapista com a narrativa de Betty, uma adolescente que teve seu coração partido por seu antigo namorado. Dessa forma, a canção busca viajar pelas memórias da jovem, ao mesmo tempo que Swift assume a persona de Betty com letras melancólicas, interpretação eloquente e metáforas de excelente cunho estético. Em contra partida, a cantora busca detalhar mais ainda o universo do álbum, trazendo a nostálgica 'August', produzida pelo seu amigo de longa data, Jack Antonoff. A atmosfera leve, apaixonante e passageira aliada a produção reverb, leva o ouvinte ao outro lado da história, da amante do ex-namorado de Betty, que expressa da forma mais sincera e impactante os seus sentimentos. De fato, Swift não economizou produções excelentes e composições surpreendentes em seu mais novo álbum, que como dito pela cantora, busca ser imagético, silencioso, significativo e sussurrado, tais como estórias do folclore.    … Expand

    Once again Swift shows through art that the opinion of people who doesn't know her is wrong. She doesn't writes about her romantic life only. She knows how to picture the feelings and thoughts of someone that she never met! Taylor created beautiful descriptions, painful stories and more to put them together in folklore.

The songwriting on this album is Taylor's best as she completely dives in into her songwriting without her trying to have some radio hits, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
    One of the highlights would be tlgad, in which she compares herself with a woman who used to live in her new house, as they're both notorious for throwing parties, being rich and having a bad reputation, in my opinion that's one of the most interesting things I have heard in any song ever since her smash hit Blank Space.
    Another one would be mad woman where she takes inspiration from Lana Del Rey sonically, but she manages to still make it sound like herself. The song is an improved version of The Man as it explores themes revolving arround feminism. The production on the record is incredible, it's not overshadowing her lines, but rather they're complementary. That is not to say they are weak, in fact when they take the spotlight (when she let's the music take over) they're always beautiful and fitting to the songs and don't feel forced.    … Expand

    Folklore by Taylor Swift is one of the best albums I have ever come across. It is perfectly sonically cohesive, and yet each song provides something new and enticing. I would recommend it to just about anybody, even people who have never enjoyed Swift’s music in the past. She really impressed me with all 16 tracks, and this is the first album I am ever rating as a 10!

    Taylor Swift demuestra nuevamente su poder en la industria, lírica muy expresiva, ritmos nuevos que hacen al álbum perfecto... excelente trabajo, nada nuevo de Swift.

    This album single-handedly saved 2020. It's amazing and breathtaking.
    Lyrical masterpiece. And it's not strange to taylor swift to deliver with the lyrics.
    Peace the song is something else I've never enjoyed a song like this in a while. And this album is full of those high quality kind of songs.

    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.
