    Álbum bem morto, muito do mesmo e nada de inovador, Taylor com seu lançamento surpresa lançou um álbum que muitas artistas já fizeram antes só que com autenticidade.

    One of her best, most perfectly-produced projects ever. In folklore, she wrote a quieter, more thought-provoking chapter in her constantly shapeshifting story.

    Her best album, her new peak. The music industry did it again. Artist of the decade for a reason.

    This lyrically poignant, experimental album includes Taylor's songwriting at its best, with different chapters, symbols, and connections throughout the album. Although "Epiphany" and "Mirrorball" do not reach the complex appeal of tracks like "This is Me Trying" and "Illicit Affairs," the entire project boasts its brilliant honesty and instrumental muse.

    I feel like this album doesn't make sense or does it, but I don't feel that way.

    Taylor Swift outdid herself with this album. Her lyricism is astounding and this is one of her greatest works yet. Every songs adds something new and captivating to the album.

    It feels very much empty when compared to her previous works, it’s just not my cup of tea lol

    Today making music is not just putting a Trap beat and hoping to go viral among young people. Making music is simple to know how to write them and that taylor knows how to do very well

    As letras são o destaque dos álbuns da Taylor, e não é de menos que Folklore nos entregou um prato cheio de belas histórias, mas conforme você vai ouvindo a sequência das faixas o álbum se torna maçante e repetitivo demais.

    This is Taylor Swift's first album where I don't skip any songs. I love it from start to finish. Good job Taylor.

    The songwriting is superb!! This is Taylor's Best Written Album since her own Acclaimed Album, RED. Her vocals really improved with this one. Folklore is one of the many good things that happened out of this pandemic.

    another creative masterpiece. in folklore she takes characters and writes us a storybook straight out of the fiction that goes on in her head. Not to mention she wrote and produced this album in just over 3 months. It's an adventure into her own fantasy world and I personally think it's one of her best. 1010 recommend.

    It is incredible how this spectacular singer not only reinvents herself but is also true to herself. Any other artist would adapt to the music that is fashionable so sunny to earn more money or fans or numbers of listeners. Taylor took a risk, bet on the new and won. An album that reaches the soul and that is directed for everyone.

    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.
