    "folklore" is a lyrical masterpiece. It's calm, and totally different genre from the other albums Swift has created. It's perfect to listen before bedtime and at breakfast. Best album of Taylor Swift so far.

    Absolutely phenomenal. My favourites right now are my tears ricochet, illicit affairs, exile and cardigan, but I’m sure it’ll change the more I listen to this album. That’s the beauty of folklore - everyone has different favourites because every song is a beautiful piece of art that people connect with in different ways.

    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

    To be honest when I first caught wind of Taylor dropping a new album titled “Folklore” I was a bit nervous, because of rumors saying she’s doing a folk style album. And if I’m honest, my least favorite genre of music. I am a fan of Taylor Swift, but I haven’t enjoyed every album she’s put out (Reputation I’m looking at you) so in no way is this a bias review just because I’m a huge fan.To be honest when I first caught wind of Taylor dropping a new album titled “Folklore” I was a bit nervous, because of rumors saying she’s doing a folk style album.

I am a fan of Taylor Swift, but I haven’t enjoyed every album she’s put out (Reputation I’m looking at you) so in no way is this a bias review just because I’m a huge fan. Honestly, Taylor has outdone herself in this album. Especially with the lyrics for the 16 songs featured in this release. And I’m not mad at the music either, it took a few tries on some songs and some songs kinda bleed together and sound similar but other than that I liked the style she was going for. I honestly loved this album and it’s almost perfection, but no album is perfect in my opinion. So I give it a 9/10 Also this is my first time posting a review online so I apologize if I sound all over the place, and for the poor grammar. Sorry!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. All I can say is, that this album is worth listening to. There was no skips, every song from this album are beautiful.

    The whole album shows the maturity of Taylor Swift as a songwriter. People gave her a backlash before and saying her way of writing was too childish, emotional and very expressive. But she proved in folklore that she evolved and grow in her songwriting process.
    I must say, this album is better than Lover, Red, reputation and Speak Now (her past albums that has a cohesive songwriting too) It is her best work so far.
    The whole album has a complex lyrics, creatively written and she still sticks to her writing style, which she uses metaphors and imagery on each songs.She brings magic and sparks to the tracks on folklore. The fact that every swiftie/non-swiftie that listens to the album has a song to claim or a song to relate to.
    Folklore album proved that Taylor is a very flexible songwriter and a singer that can do different genres. She made country, country-pop, pop-rock, synth-pop, mainstream pop and now, she is stepping into alternative and indie music.
    The lyrics, the production, the vocals, aesthetics and the video of cardigan gave everyone the feels during this quarantine and pandemic.
    This album deserves to sweep every awards, especially the toughest and highest categories in any award ceremonies.
    To conclude, She made a lot of changes in her music after this album was released. And, once again, she made a revolutionary album in a new genre.    … Expand

Sadly, that acclaim seems to be amplified to a significant extent by her loyal come hagiographic fans. I was impressed with the Bon Iver duet, which is very moving. And, she has a freakish ability to deliver the most ascerbic quips mid-ballad. However, it's very long, and some song have a forced feeling to them, like the main goal was to make an alternative album to the detriment of making a great album. Anyway, back to Joanna Newsom for me.… Expand

    Probably Taylor Swift's best album to date.....Personally I think the songwriting is still not that great, but it's better than her previous work in that regard. I'm not the demographic she is trying to appeal to so maybe it works better for other people.

    I don't think it is album of the year. Few of these songs are going to last in the public conscience. But it's certainly decent.....

    This is what Taylor needed, she needed a stripped-back album that showcased her lyric writing to the best. Now she is ready to show that is a REAL artist that can embrace any genre thrown at them. With soft mellows and smooth production, she is ready to show her emotional side (which has been done many times in the past) but for the enlightenment for critics and non-fans of her. Amazing

    Folklore is so beautiful and well done. Folklore is Taylor’s new album. Some songs are heartbreaking, but the songwriting is a whole new level. Each song has a story to be told. Each song, I feel transported into a storybook and watching the lyrics come to life.

Cada canción suena igual que la otra, con piano, guitarra y a veces unos beats. Al momento de que canta, los tonos de voz no varían, y se mantiene en la misma nota casi siempre. Le doy 2 puntos como parte positiva, debido a que está bien afinado el álbum y está limpio, logrando un resultado sencillo. Sin embargo, considero que no se supieron adaptar todas las "historias" que cuenta en el álbum, sólo está relatando sobre la pista de un pequeño acompañamiento de fondo, no lo está interpretando ni transmitiendo.… Expand

    Her most recent album; folklore, consists of 16 beautifully composed songs. In the same way as how she announced this album, she surprisingly has taken a turn from pop to Indie-folk/Alternative genre. She aced either one, as well as the preceding one; country.

    Taken in a forest setting with a black and white filter, this album brought so many light and 16 different shades I never thought I had come across, along with emotions I don’t think I’ve ever felt before.

    Her voice in all of the 16 songs is relatively peaceful. The second you hear one of the songs, you’d feel like as if you’re being transported to a place of tranquility you’ve never been to before.    … Expand

With the hint of the album cover and the texture of the color, I knew in my head it is going to be something unexpected, something in its sound we never heard before from her. I theorized that the album would touch the sound of the indie genre and due to the fact that I [a recent indie-genre addict this quarantine] feel it, just with the album cover and also the tracklist. With the album "folklore", I feel the emotions on every tracks, on how it almost connect to everyone's feeling especially for someone whose been stuck in homes for 4 months [and counting] already and the longing, sadness, and the search for the day that everything will be normal and fine again. I love the fact that Taylor manage and embrace the new sound of hers because it is truly what we needed. We need compassion, support, care, and love in these times of chaos, cruelty, and hardships and she used music to feel those things into everyone of us, with every single tracks. Half of the tracks are made of characterizations and third person perspectives and the rest of the tracks tackles about her life's history and revealing her vulnerable side on her dwellings with her current relationship. The productions are exquisite and well produced and the lyrics are truly calming and comfortable and the cursing never bothers me because it adds flavor to the meaning of the song and emotion. In conclusion, Ms. Taylor Swift literally surprise me, with the new sound I never heard for years and creating an album what exactly the would sound right now and an album that can live on movies and for so many years to come.… Expand

    This album has some of Taylor’s best writing and storytelling in it. She has the ability to switch from country (Debut album to Red), to pop (1989 to Lover) and now to Alternative. She transitions her sound without it feeling forced. I think that this album will be a staple in her catalog along with Red, 1989, and Fearless.

    Folklore is one of the best written album by Taylor so far. The description of what's happening to each song, the melodies, the rhythms everything about it is just so good. This album goes back to her Country albums where it was written like she's telling a story.

    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.

    os vocais são bons, até pq a voz da taylor é boa. mas é um álbum de retrocesso a uma zona de conforto pra ela até certo ponto, feito pra agradar um público fiel que ela sempre teve e sem muita originalidade. chega a ser difícil diferenciar as músicas, no geral um álbum ruim

    This album basically shows what a real life fairytale is, stories that do not always end in a happy ending. It's such a beautiful album and I'm in awe as to how she brought to life a fairytale story.

    For me, this is by far her best album -- in a lyrical sense.

Her songwriting has evolved in many ways, and with the artistry of poetry that she transcends through music, her 8th studio album, "Folklore", takes her career on a whole different journey. Therefore, if you understand certain stories she is depicting, then you can later appreciate the music sonically.

    Taylor just never ceases to impress. What I love about her albums is that she is able to change her style, her genre to fit her overarching mood during a given time period. Who could be living in quarantine 2020 Trump America and record a boppy pop album? She doesn't feel good about this moment and has changed her musical style to fit this weird introspective moment we live in. If you wantTaylor just never ceases to impress.

    Taylor Swift released this surprise album and is the only positive thing to happen to me in 2020. Each song is like its own story with beautifully written lyrics. Some feel familiar like a different Taylor Era. Some offer a whole new feel. She is a flexible artist and has shown that time and time again. This is Taylor’s best album yet.

    This is by far her strongest songwriting album. The album sounds so different from what she has done, but she already is doing so well in this new genre! Don’t understand why some people are saying all songs sound the same because they certainly don’t. This album may not be for everyone, depending what genres people prefer, but I personally really enjoy this.

    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.
