    Asqueroso álbum, no le bastó con robar el pop, y ahora quiere robar el indie, si tenías clases de música y hablaban de folklor te intereso? , a mi no, lo peor de lo peor

    Superb album! The critics say it all. It’s just so good and after a month it feels better than ever. I’m so proud of Taylor for always reinventing herself time and time again, she never disappoints.

    Folklore, though a run down version of tales by it's definition, leaves one with a personal mark. With 16 tracks we travel through time and different scenarios. The bonus track, the lakes leaves one with echoes of romantic tragedy. Made in quarantine, this album is the embodiment of truthfulne and art.

    This album is a masterpiece. It explores Taylor Swift going through all these stories. They way she connects the stories through the different songs and how she is able to write these songs is amazing. Always impressed by her songwriting. Her best album since 1989 sonically and Red lyrically.

    Taylor reminding me why I fell inlove with her songwriting in the first place. Lyrical narration was hauntingly poetic, unlike her old works this was a glimpse of her maturity and growth.

    Mágico. Nostálgico y precioso. Taylor mezcla perfectamente las escencias de sus álbumes pop y country. Dándonos la lírica detallada de Speak Now y Red. Con la madurez de una mujer que dejó mostrar en Reputation y Lover.

    This album has shown us the ability of TAYLOR SWIFT as a singer and songwriter. One of the best work she ever had. The lakes Is an art; Mirrorball is a sad beautiful song; August is one of the greatest work from her.

    This album kinda like her changing new genre for her, from the last pop album to alternative, folk, country and indie. It was beautiful and awesome album

    Slow paced music and emotionally seems fit and enjoyable listen in the middle of Covid19 pandemic

    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.
