Jul 24, 2020No overthinking. Just thin skin and honest words. Outside of the songwriting, the visuals are perfectly aligned with the sonics. A diamond in sepia.
-
Jul 24, 2020This is one of Taylor's most impressive albums - a beautiful, mysterious and cohesive work of art. And not to mention that her storytelling is so marvelous and special!
-
Jul 24, 2020This album is Swift at her finest.
A collection of beautifuly put together songs that are all part of a greater story-telling adventure by the artist. -
Jul 24, 2020Lyrics don’t get better than this, she’s the artist of the decade. No skips at all and the intertwining stories between the songs, no one, no one is doing it like her!
-
Jul 24, 2020I'm not a Swift's fan but I really like this! Jack Antonoff I love love you.
-
Jul 24, 2020`and I think you should come live with me
and we can be pirates
then you won't have to cry
or hide in the closet
and just like a folk song
our love will be passed on` -
Jul 24, 2020a Taylor simplesmente fez tudo com esse álbum, se o aoty não vier agora é pq ela já tem 2
-
Jul 24, 2020Just like the title suggests, these are songs that are not based on Taylor Swift’s experiences. Nevertheless, she was able to tell stories in the most vibrant (and at times darkest) ways. The character arcs that she created felt too real that the multiple songs for the same narrative were never boring. She truly is one of the greatest lyricist of our time.
-
Jul 24, 2020musical excellence just as you'd expect from taylor, folklore is beautifully and magically written, produced and sung. just amazing. again.

Jul 24, 2020This album gives me chills. That´s so perfect, I love it. The way that the story is told is so incredible
-
Jul 24, 2020talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, give birth to it.
-
Jul 24, 2020Um álbum pessoal e com lindas estórias e histórias contadas. Algo totalmente diferente de tudo o que Taylor já lançou na vida. Fabuloso.
-
Jul 24, 2020A masterpiece. I love her vocal and how she played with words here. Keep switching POV is also a smart move hear
-
Jul 24, 2020
-
Jul 24, 2020amazing and raw, she is finally able to be herself and this album is an expression of memories and imagination.
-
Jul 24, 2020Simplesmente mais uma obra prima extremamente bem trabalhada e produzida. Taylor mostrou que consegue entregar para o publico um álbum completo, com 16 musicas contando várias histórias perfeitamente escritas dentro de um conceito Folk/Pop-Indie. Total e muito orgulho desse projeto.
-
Jul 24, 2020This album flaunts Swift's extraordinary capability of storytelling and songwriting.
-
Jul 24, 2020The best lyrical and instrumental work of singer/songwriter Taylor Swift. It represents a new narrative and maintains the excitement for what is to come for her
-

Jul 24, 2020I honestly liked Lover but this one is just not the type of music I like, the album is just so plain and boring for me, just not what I like
-
Jul 24, 2020Everyone thought that 1989 was her peak. She always proves everyone wrong. This is her best work. Lyrically, sonically, vocally... She is the best she’s ever been and I’m here for it
-
Jul 24, 2020The album shows how powerful the musical skills of Taylor Swift has enhanced over the years. Her songwriting is par excellence and the voice is so soothing that it can heal all the wounds whatsoever. A true work of art as usual has been delivered by Taylor Swift with her 8th album.
-
Jul 24, 2020Amazing lyrics, amazing production, perfect. Chill sound. Taylor Swift never disappoint with her albums, folklore is one of her best album ever.
-
Jul 24, 2020This album shows Taylor’s ability to use her story telling to another level . All the songs are amazing, Exile is one of my favorites !
-
Jul 24, 2020Definitely her best album alongside Red. She can suit every genre. GO STREAM FOLKLORE NOW
-
Jul 24, 2020Seems like taylor been making the same music. I know her video now is really amazing yet the music totally the same back on her debut era. She turns her pain against scooter braun into country.
-
Jul 24, 2020This album makes you want to jump out of your car window at 100 mph but not because it is bad, because it is so emotional you've got to feel something apart from this bliss that this has created before you.
-
Jul 24, 2020tbh like her music but she's downgrading so bad nowadays and this album is just.. idk I didn't feel it. no offense but in my opinion I wouldn't listen to it twice
-
Jul 24, 2020Taylor shines in 'folklore', her most cohesive and lyrically gorgeous album to date. She tells a story through different perspective and manages to convey them in a way that feels unique to Taylor, even though she's experimenting with an all new genre. Impressive, beautiful, melancholic, this album is everything.
-
Jul 24, 2020It's a no-skip album, an all-timer. An hour-long, sixteen track no-skipper! It's pensive, pretty, literary, openhearted, cohesive without being repetitive. I've just been a casual fan of her to this point and I'm gobsmacked.
-
Jul 24, 2020the lyrics are beatiful and mature, i didnt know she was ever going to top her best album RED but for me this one is better
-
Jul 24, 2020This album really shows Taylors writing ability, this is similiar to her Red album but has a sadder undertone to the songs. Its her best album to date in my opinion. Folklore shows that Taylor can still really write a full album without her more upbeat pop sound. Every song have a more mystical sound and with the sadder undertone it fits with the album Title "Folklore"

Jul 24, 2020One of the most cohesive albums I've heard in a while. Taylor Swift proves her extraordinary talent once again. The album has amazing nostalgic tunes, that remind us of our childhood/youth. Taylor's vocals are absolutely beautiful. I am absolutely astonished how she created such a masterpiece in just 4 months. Truly a blessing to be alive at the same time as Taylor Swift.
-

Jul 24, 2020album of the year . i am speechless taylor swift is the music industry. she is constantly out doing herself.
-
Jul 24, 2020The chilling sound and goosebumps can't suffice the talent and poetry in this album. The brilliance of storytelling and cohesion of instrumentals paced the album like an unexpected adventure to the wilderness full of "what-ifs" and anxiety but continued to find out yourself. A spectacular masterpiece in its essence.
-
Jul 24, 2020Sonically cohesive and a far step away from the generic pop sound. She's regrown some of her country roots as proven by the mainly acoustic sounds and sharp songwriting. Truly an album of the decade.
-

-
Jul 24, 2020It's a masterpiece. The production, her voice, the lyrics, it all seems just to fit.

Jul 24, 2020Complex and haunting. A lyrically deep album that feels like the record Swifties have been waiting for Taylor to put out since Red.
-
Jul 24, 2020A different album, made in a new way by an artist who reinvents herself in each work.
-
Jul 24, 2020Swift's most intimate and mature record to date. Folklore reminds us why Taylor is one of the most important living songwriters.

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.
