    Folkore é ,sem dúvidas, um dos melhores trabalhos de Taylor. Mostra uma artista cada vez mais madura. Possui composições impecáveis. O álbum se encaixou muito bem ao atual momento do mundo e nos deixa muito à vontade para ouvi-lo em diversas situações: relaxar, fins de tarde, cozinhar, jantar e até mesmo no banho. No entanto, acredito que poderia ter sido menos longo. Ao chegar próximo doFolkore é ,sem dúvidas, um dos melhores trabalhos de Taylor. Mostra uma artista cada vez mais madura.

No entanto, acredito que poderia ter sido menos longo. Ao chegar próximo do fim, ficamos com a sensação de interminável. Sobretudo,nas últimas quatro ou cinco músicas. Destaco Betty ,que é uma ótima música,no fim do álbum. Não parece um álbum que trará grandes sucessos como seus antecessores,mas merece todos os elogios pela produção e composição.… Expand

    One of her best albums. Folklore is a lyrical master piece. The story telling in this album is superior. The songs have so many stories about different things. Anyone can relate to at least one song on the album. Taylor is constantly out doing herself and proving to the world that she is talented as hell.

    Taylor Swift es una compositora innata, Folklore es el album por el que nació para lanzar. No solo cumple con su proposito de narrar historias con un storytelling que solo Taylor podria lograr, también la instrumentacion del lider de The National convierte a Folklore en un album memorable, y algo a la altura de la estrella más grande de la musica contemporanea

    It sounds like nothing she's done ever before. This is her best body of work (but, of course I say that every time there's new music from her), haven't stopped listening to it, it's amazing how Taylor can always overcome herself and put something fresh and new out so we can enjoy. I'm so proud of her.

    Taylor changes her style each time a new album comes out and that makes her a unique artist. She has made an unexpected album, with no promo whatsoever, and it's by far the best one. I love it!!

    I'm genuinely so blown away. I was really nervous that she was changing her sound, but this is everything. It's soft but powerful. The lyrics and production are somehow so new for her but also right on brand. I really hope people give this album the recognition it deserves. Amazing to think she wrote and recorded this in 3 months during quarantine. Wow.

    A masterpiece. She managed to create masterpieces in 3 different genres: country, pop, and now alternative.

    Las canciones son muy similares entre sí aburridas, los sonidos y ritmos nada buenos sin rima ni nada ya me dormía oyendo el álbum Taylor volvió al olvido.

    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.
