    Arte como Taylor nos tiene acostumbrado a darnos. Se siente cálido como estar escuchándolo con tu Cardigan. Es innovador y ella siempre nos termina sorprendiendo en cada género musical que nos da.

    At first, being a pop person I thought this album was so so and it’s not my type of songs. Then this album grew on me. The songs are so chill and relaxed!

    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.
