    The epitome of perfection. The pinnacle of all Taylor Swift album. Swift has proved again her place in the music industry. Despite being long, it does not fail to deliver cohesiveness and display Swift's song-writing abilities. A must try.

    Folklore by Taylor Swift is an excellent album that came just when we needed it. This record shows us a very sensitive side of Swift because, although it does not have its own experiences as such, it is based on different stories of love and heartbreaking to give us a very well developed album in terms of message.

    Taylor Swift has simply proven again that she has talent in the field of music, with this album. Her previous transition from country to pop became an iconic move for her, and she owned it, and now with her 8th studio album, 'folklore', a collection of sonorous and poetic alternative songs, she has again established another milestone for her whole music career.

    Love love love this album! She’s grown so much as an artist over the course of her career. I love how this album has so much imagery and illusions used to paint the stories. While not all of this is autobiographical, I loved the storylines she wrote. They came to light so well with her lyricism.

    Swift explodes the expectations of anyone preparing to call her music "diaristic," writing songs from different perspectives while putting her already-detailed work under a microscope. ... A content smile of an album on which one of the world's biggest pop stars, charts be damned, forges her own path and dares listeners to come along for the ride.

    This album was astonishing. I don't even know what to say, I feel like going back to 2012 listening to the album Red again. Give a Grammy for this album, please.

    This album kinda like her changing new genre for her, from the last pop album to alternative, folk, country and indie. It was beautiful and awesome album

    Slow paced music and emotionally seems fit and enjoyable listen in the middle of Covid19 pandemic

    This album has shown us the ability of TAYLOR SWIFT as a singer and songwriter. One of the best work she ever had. The lakes Is an art; Mirrorball is a sad beautiful song; August is one of the greatest work from her.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. OMG! at first I am hesitant to listen to it because im not a fan of alternative music but after listening to cardigan over the radio i ended up buying the entire album to listen to all its 17 tracks ! Im a person who values the lyrics more than the music ! I may be late for the party but good gracious this Folklore is soooo good a cant stop listening to it. ☺️ Taylor Swift really. is a master lyricist that I can tell for sure. She's like an author telling stories but in a way of singing it instead of reading it. She definitely saved my ass from this unending quarantine. She probably saved more people than what i think is possible. This is the escape i was looking for because reality is something we all wish to end in this current state. Please taylor consider me as your new fan. … 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.
