    Nothing new. All the songs are boring. So much filler songs, way too many songs. All sound like the same. There’s nothing new.

    ela foi luz nesse, um murro na minha cara a cada música, cura a depressão e da depressão ao mesmo tempo.

    Very boring, the tracks were similar and there is no changing in notes it’s just the exact same note in every track, the longevity of songs gave it much boring effect than it already is! the worst album in her discography

    Basic. I just think Taylor Swift’s discography is very basic. I do think she’s an AMAZING lyricist tho.

    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.
  3. 60
    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.
