    The lyricism in this whole album is so deep, poetic and descriptive. You can really picture every line she sings so well. The sound of the album perfectly with the ethereal and magical aesthetic. The whole thing is a sonic and lyrical masterpiece.

    Taylor Swift is a Lyrical genius with an ever evolving style. This album proves that Ms. Swift can seamlessly jump through different genres while still remaining connected to her writing style, and more importantly, her base.

For Taylor to be able to create stories that when you listen to them make you feel like your in your own movie amazes me. To be able to conquer country, pop and now hopefully Alternative is an achievement only the great accomplish. This is what Taylor has done. This album proves how Taylor is able to make risks, and how diverse her music is. Although the genre and production has changed from what she usually releases, one thing that never changes is the impact of her Song writing and especially in this album, her storytelling. Folklore is the perfect album in a time like today. There is no need to make complete pop songs, instead there is nothing better than being able to listen to a song and to be able to visualise what the images the lyrics are implying. This is something that you can always be guaranteed with when you listen to a Taylor Swift song. It is a leap from the pop album Lover, that was released just over 11 months ago. Overall this is a stella album that will forever be remembered as one of, if not Taylors best album… Expand

    Sonically, a perfect bittersweet and euphoric piece. Lyrically, an in-depth cohesive poetry book that will provoke crying. The spirit of folklore is truly evident here, an chain of storytelling that’s so allusive yet so specific. My favorite album by Taylor Swift and is already in my top 3 albums of all time and I’ve only listened to it for 24 hours.

She details an enthralling story of loss, love and youth as the album progresses. The complexity of each song ties in with a desperate love story that swift is trying to tell, with key lyrics to link in each story, each individual and each emotion. Fans will have an amazing time picking apart the secret messages in the lyrics, as they engage themselves in what it means to be the subject of Swifts intent. Swift has worked through many genres, she has made every single one her own and has used them all to her absolute advantage. However, Swift needed this genre shift to demonstrate her true, authentic lyricism that is too often brushed over. This folk, indie, alternative album serves everything fans have been searching for since her depart from her third country/pop studio album, RED. After the commercial success of her previous pop albums 1989, Rep and Lover, Swifts approach to this new genre has been seamless. It is truly something that fits who she is without a doubt in anyone’s mind. This album is the type of album you want to hide away in a forest, lay on the ground, holding old literature and cry too, fall in love too and dissect everything single lyric, harmony and note. Her fans have been searching for something in her discography to rival the lyricism and intelligence in RED, her most critically acclaimed album so far, but also her most under appreciated. With Folklore, we have found it. I believe Swift has unlocked something in her musicality that she has been hiding since RED was written, her freedom, her storytelling, her openness to love and her ability to relive, create or view heartbreak and turn it into compelling poetry. This album will undoubtedly age in an incredible way, like the finest of wines produced from Europe. Long lost treasure that has been undiscovered for years. That’s what this album feels like, the feeling of running in the rain, growing old, and finding an intimate space you can only have with yourself and your thoughts. Swift allows others to experience things they never have before, through her words and her story telling. The amazing team that put together this album should be proud of themselves, it is her best work yet. It will outlive it’s time, as this album simply does not have a use-by date. I hope Swift continues with these unpopular genres and continues to make albums authentic to her, and showcase her amazing lyrical ability. Something the world needs most at this time.

O Álbum é bastante coeso e limpo, Taylor Swift criou uma Atmosfera mágica surpreendente em seu novo álbum, diria que é seu trabalho mais maduro. Um outro ponto positivo é que apesar das 16 faixas, o álbum ñ se torna cansativo. Na verdade foi tudo bem pensado desde as composições até mesmo a estética do álbum. A sonoridade me lembrou muito alguns trabalhos da Lana Del Rey, creio que foi uma grande inspiração para a Taylor. Destaques do álbum: Exile, This is me Trying, seven, August e My tears ricochet.

    Ethereal. Emotional. Excellent. Taylor Swift’s storytelling is the star of this album, which introduces a side of Swift’s music usually overshadowed by her pop hits. Folklore isn’t an album to be played for a sold-out stadium, but rather is ideal to listen to in an armchair by a fire drinking tea on a rainy day, making it the ideal quarantine creation. Uplifting and heartbreaking; TaylorEthereal. Emotional. Excellent.

    Always been a Taylor fan since she released her first album. It's been so interesting to see her songwriting grow and evolve and no matter what she was producing I always listened to her lyrics. While with her last albums there were definite highs, there were some songs where it felt like she was pandering to what she believed the masses wanted.

It's been so interesting to see her songwriting grow and evolve and no matter what she was producing I always listened to her lyrics. While with her last albums there were definite highs, there were some songs where it felt like she was pandering to what she believed the masses wanted. With this new album, she has confidently settled into herself. The lyrics and melodies are the strongest and most moving she's ever written. She deftly writes from multiple points of views, weaving stories and capturing nostalgia so perfectly it will make you want to cry. This feels like an album she wrote freely for herself solely based on what she wanted to write.… Expand

    Taylor Swift excelled with folklore, a cohesive and mature álbum. Very emotional and touching a breath in this very exhausting moment of social isolation. Congratulations T.S.

    This was hell of an experience. I mean it is one of her best work other than Red, 1989 and reputation. She takes the cohesiveness to a different level. The burst of emotions in every songs. I missed this lyrical intelligency of "THE TAYLOR SWIFT" in her last album. Her growth as an artist reflects through this album.

    Taylor logra entrar a lo mas profundo de tus sentimientos con canciones que cuentan historias, algo que es maravilloso y, por suerte, muy propio de ella. Excelente álbum

    The most beautiful and lyrically profound album by Taylor. Tracks like Exile, Betty, and August will be her career highlights.

    Honestly, this is Taylor’s most cohesive and consistently beautifully written album yet. I could listen to it on repeat all the way through for hours on my bedroom floor.

    This album showcases her genius songwriting skills and her ability to tell stories with vivid images in listeners’ minds. The fact that this album was made during the isolation is a proof that TSwift is one of the best lyricists 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.

    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.
