Jul 24, 2020This was.. actually really good? Outside of some questionable production choices on some of the Antonoff-ian tracks (which is a personal let down to say the least - what the hell is going on with the mix on mirrorball?) she really gels with the sound. Didn't think I'd see a Bon Iver collaboration in this lifetime nor would I have thought it'd be as good as it is. This year is full of surprises.

Jul 24, 2020Arte!!! No soy su fan, pero me encantan los géneros que abordó y su voz es muy agradable. Disfruté de cada canción, las puedo escuchar una y otra vez y no me cansaría o aburriría. Gustos son gustos. Un placer auditivo.
-
Jul 24, 2020De pronto estaba en un bosque de ensueño pensando en nada sino imaginando las historias que Taylor narraba.
-
Jul 24, 2020Probably her best work yet, the way she enters the scene and just drops everything without any promo or any announcement is amazing, queen of music today and forever ‼️

-
Jul 24, 2020Vey boring and slow. Not much lyrical maturity from her previous albums or vocal growth. The reviews have made this album out to be on Tracy Chapman or Joni Mitchel level and it really is not.

-
Jul 24, 2020This album just defines what it means to be an artist, not just a singer. Taylor’s story telling carries the entire tracks with soft melodies but impactful imagery that makes you feel as if you’re reading an adult storybook. She’s a genius, your honor.

Jul 24, 2020From a surprise release to transitioning from pop to alternative with smooth ease, Taylor Swift has surprised us all once again! This album is a great body of work that proves Swift's great songwriting abilities and that she can still create sad songs from a place of happiness just using her imagination. Folklore is truly a lyrical masterpiece that deserves all the acclaim it received.

-
Jul 24, 2020It is the kind of music you would want to listen on a cold foggy lonely evening with a book. It is a breath of fresh air!
-
Jul 24, 2020Taylor Swift proved once again why she's the the songwriter of her generation. This album is a masterpiece. It took her 10 years to make something better than Speak Now and the feeling cannot be better!

Jul 24, 2020One of the best albums Taylor Swift has done. It’s honest and real; wonderful masterpiece.
-
Jul 24, 2020Es muy hermoso este álbum. Taylor nos transporta a diferentes lugares con sonidos tan brillantes y líricas tan emocionalmente honestas y refinadas.
-

Jul 24, 2020La letra de cada una de las canciones no son malas, mismo ritmo en cada pista y es aburrido escuchar lo mismo, probablemente le vaya bien pero no sera por mucho
-
Jul 24, 2020This album is Taylor Swift at her best! Her songwriting is showcased to new heights. We already knew she was a lyrical genius but this album blows everything out of the water. Folklore is dreamy, ethereal, magical, sad, happy, and hopeful. It's depth is incredible and I will be listening on repeat forever.

Jul 24, 2020Absolute and utter perfection. Taylor Swift has and will continue to outdo herself with every career move. This is an artistic venture that has undoubtedly paid off in the best way possible. This will go down in history as one of the most shocking pop music transitions that will leave audiences waiting for her next surprise. 2021 Grammys, do your thing.
-
Jul 24, 2020Esse com toda certeza do mundo, é o melhor álbum dela!! E digo com tranquilidade. LENDÁRIA
-
Jul 24, 2020This is the effortless next step for Taylor Swift. At her boldest, folklore is the storm in which you lay and immerse yourself in vulnerability and sentimentality you never knew you were so welcoming of. It’s simple, beautiful, and all the words you couldn’t piece into a tapestry to encapsulate what love and stories are.
-
Jul 24, 2020This is amazingly beautiful. Her best work of art to date. Pure poetry and emotion wrapped up in one. You FEEL the lyrics. It is the album I didn’t know I needed. Thanks Taylor. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
-
Jul 24, 2020Like a watered down Fiona Apple, not as bad as her last 2 albums but awfully drab and forgettable

-
Jul 24, 2020To me this is lyrically Taylor’s best album. Again, she outdid herself and experimented with a new sound, but without losing her essence. That’s why she’s such a great artist!

The Melody, lyrics, the piano, the violin, the harmonica, all this is more than good.
Thanks for this Taylor. -
Jul 24, 2020This album is something not bacause of its production, but because of the lyrics. All of the songs are well-written, even the self-penned song. That's how incredible this album is, that's why it DESERVES the 10 POINTS that I gave. I'm so proud for Taylor to create a masterpuece once again.

Jul 24, 2020FOLKLORE es el abum del año, es una obra maestra, un equilibrio ideal. Los fans de Gaga estan colapsadas por el ARTE de Taylor. Esas sidosas se mueren de envidia por Tay.
-
Jul 24, 2020To me, this is the best album ever, the lyrics are just unreal, this piece of art is the best thing 2020 could had.
-
Jul 24, 2020Lyrical genius. My current favorites on this album are "betty" and "august." The former song is reminiscent of her Speak Now/Fearless era.
-
Jul 24, 2020Sonically cohesive and very mature. Once again, Swift shows off her excellence at songwriting.
-
Jul 24, 2020Taylor's master lyricism and storytelling reflects in yet another epic genre change. Her range is absolutelyunparalleled. Pop queen drops her old crown only to pick up a a new shinier one.

Jul 24, 2020Magnífico, en este álbum Taylor nos muestra su lado más personal y su reinvención como artista. Las canciones son calmadas y tranquilas con letras profundas, por algo es la artista de la década y una de las mejores compositoras de todos los tiempos.

Jul 24, 2020Uno de los mejores discos que ha hecho la cantante, ¡y en tiempo record! Es ese disco que habíamos olvidado que necesitábamos.
Awards & Rankings

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.
