    Ótimo álbum, Taylor Swift sempre se supera e Folklore é com certeza um dos melhores álbuns do ano. As letras são incrivelmente bem escritas, profundas. Esse álbum grita TALENTO.

    O álbum é maravilhoso! A versão deluxe ainda nos agracia com uma poesia cantada: the lakes, uma música incrível e cheia de significado.

    Taylor Swift's ability to switch from genre to genre throughout her career is amazing. Very cohesive and her storytelling in Folklore is amazing. She is the best songwriter of this generation and this album is just added proof. Very mature and should be the album of the year. I still can't believe she wrote it all during the quarantine. Love her.

    Taylor took on a new genre here and owned it. The lyrics are very cleverly written, showing the true talent of Taylor swift as a songwriter. Everyone should listen to it. It's Yet Another Masterpiece By Taylor

    Ciertos moj0nes están ardidos de que el álbum no sea comercial, de su género y la diferente perspectiva que tiene, están tan acostumbrados a lo comercial que quieren desprestigiar esta obra de arte, bien colapsadas las mostras y aripulgosas

    Taylor captures the storytelling that defines folk stories. You find a mix of happy and sad songs, yet there is a sonically cohesive sound to it. The lyrics in this album are some of her best lyrics ever. My tears ricochet is definitely one of her most heartbreaking songs ever.

    感覺單調，停下來覺得都是一樣的歌曲，比起這張專輯，覺得lover這張專輯較有變化。不過背景音樂倒是跟泰勒絲的聲音融合的蠻不錯，特定在這邊留言加油，加油。

    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.
