    I have always been a fan of Taylor since I first heard Love Story. Throughout the years, I've stayed with her, most of the time out of loyalty. This record is exceptionally beautiful. It showcased her story-telling skills to a different level incomparable with her peers. I really enjoy this stripped-down, raw, immersive album.

    It has been fascinating to watch the genres Taylor has explored over the last 14 years - from country, country-pop, pop-rock, 80s synthpop, r&b and gospel-influenced pop, and now indie and folk-pop, with dreamy strings, soft piano and her voice at its most delicate yet strong floating over top.

    This album doesn't feel like an unnatural shift for her - as I listen, I'm reminded of (often underrated) songs like "I Almost Do", "Sad Beautiful Tragic" and "The Last Time" from Red, "It's Nice to Have a Friend" from Lover, "This Love" from 1989, and "Come In With the Rain" from Fearless, with poetic and vivid lyrics that evoke clear images of nature and the tangled complexity of relationships. On "folklore", Taylor takes a mature bent to themes like innocence, childhood, a woman's justified-yet-vilified anger, and the difficulty of admitting you were wrong.

    This album feels so familiar - I've listened to it twice through, and I already feel like I've known these songs as long as I've been singing along to her debut album. Despite new collaborators like Aaron Dessner and Bon Iver and production that sounds more like the 1975 and Imogen Heap than stereotypical Swift, it's still undeniably Taylor - the songwriting and mastery of metaphor is immediately recognizable.

    Sonically cohesive, many songs sound similar, but each has nuances and surprise elements (particularly the harmonica on "betty" and the wash of soft electronic tones on "mirrorball") that set them apart from each other and leave the listener captivated, waiting for the next innovation on the next track. (Speaking of innovation, this is Swift's first album to have an explicit version, and hearing her say "f*ck" should be more shocking than it is. Like the rest of the album, it feels familiar in a way that it logically shouldn't.)

    The narratives told are vaguer and less autobiographical than in albums like "reputation" and "Lover", with Taylor herself saying that she drew from many sources (including Rebekah Harkness, the widow who formerly owned Swift's Rhode Island mansion, and her grandfather's experiences in World War II) as well as creating fictional narratives that nod at the events of her real life. Songs like "invisible string", "seven", "mirrorball", "peace", "hoax", and "this is me trying" feel the most personal, while others (including the teen love triangle of "cardigan", "august", and "betty") are more fictional, though they all have moments and lines that read as especially authentic Taylor.

    Overall, "folklore" is outstanding, made even more so by the fact that it was written and produced entirely in isolation, so within the last 4 months. It marks a decided tilt to the side of Swift that is a grown woman, who recognizes that she isn't perfect and isn't afraid to admit it, in the most visceral way possible. It fits surprisingly perfectly into the rest of her discography, and is, in my personal opinion, her most honest record to date. Not honesty in the sense of "everything in this album has literally happened to me", but honesty in the sense that she's airing her dirty laundry, the side of her that has difficulty owning her mistakes and feels a desperate need to be liked by the world, in the most poetic and gritty way possible. I think when people look back on Swift's career, "folklore" is going to be one of her most enduring and timeless albums, and I, for one, cannot wait to see what she does next.    … Expand

    Folklore is simply Taylor Swift's best album. Definitely ”Album of the Year” worthy. This album is so unique compared to her past records, very intricate and mature. She clearly knows how to make her audience feel emotional and visualize a story from her amazing songwriting. If given the chance, everyone would enjoy this future Grammy-winning masterpiece. Stream Folklore!

    Put on your earphones. And be carried away to a magical land created by Taylor. Where there is drama....castle....love triangle ...and grandpa stories.

    A masterpiece, really. Folklore has a hauntingly enchanting vibe to it, it calms and soothes the listeners yet it’s tragic with visuals and imagery you can listen to. Her lyrics paints a scene wondrously.

    'folklore' is a music masterpiece oozing with timelessness. It's a compilation of stories that has to be passed on from generation to generation. A legend.

    Folklore is a refreshing album showing a new side of Ms. Taylor Swift that we have never seen before. It showcases a lot of emotions and feelings. It makes us feel a lot of ways.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Taylor Swift didn't left her previous genres. "folklore" has acoustic vibe from her debut album. Songs from "folklore" radiates the innocence of "Fearless." The marriage vibe was born from "Speak Now"and she took care of it here. Every single track from "folklore" has the lyrical masterpiece passed down from "RED" era. It also has this sick beats from her great success from pop, 1989. It got th easter eggs from her most awaited comeback in 2017, "reputation." Lastly, it brought all the magic from her romantic, pop anthem album of 2019, "Lover."… Expand

    I love it. I love that it has that vibe and tranquility that makes it a comfortable album for any ear, it is totally different, and that makes it unique. The genre, the lyrics, the music, all make it an amazing album. I also liked that Taylor has combined some fiction with reality. It's just perfect

    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.
