Mar 23, 2021Perfect indie folk from country, pop singer. All songs delight and inspire. "Lover" was more demanding, and "Folklore" was unusual and striking (this is a kind of return to the basics).

-
Mar 22, 2021Taylor Swift's 8th studio album "Folklore" is not about ex-boyfriends, but about Taylor Swift's past!

Mar 21, 2021A 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.
-

Mar 22, 2021this is one of best albums, truly a great masterpiece, full of the storytelling we love from taylor swift but also the production of each song is mindblowing, it's surprising this is her first folk album
-
Mar 22, 2021The album is filled with cinematic lyricism. It brings me to the fictional scene of “folklore”. It’s also her best album in terms of vocal. If you are tired of those meaningless upbeat pop music, try this out and you will reach the peaceful folklorian wood.

Mar 22, 2021This strange summer of arrested development is steadily ending. Folklore will endure long beyond it: as fragmented as Swift is across her eighth album – and much as you hope it doesn’t mark the end of her pop ambitions – her emotional acuity has never been more assured.
-
Mar 22, 2021Amazing album... The lyrics, the emotion, the imagery... it's just overall perfect. Thank you Taylor Swift for this masterpiece.

Mar 23, 2021The most mature album by Taylor Swift ever. The production is dream like, her vocals are soothing and the showstopper is, of course, her ingenious songwriting.

-
Mar 23, 2021One of her best, most perfectly-produced projects ever. In folklore, she wrote a quieter, more thought-provoking chapter in her constantly shapeshifting story.
-
Mar 24, 2021For some fans, it might take a couple of spins around the block with this very different model to become re-accustomed to how there’s still the same power under the hood here.
-
Mar 24, 2021La lírica, el instrumental, la narrativa, todo es perfecto en folklore y cumple con el propósito de contarte historias que pasarán por generaciones, es como leer un libro de fantasía y lleva a tu imaginación a un mundo folklorico. Por eso y más folklore es el álbum del año
-

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.
