    Uno de los mejores álbum que ha hecho Swift. Merece ser candidato a álbum del año.
    Taylor siempre termina sorprendiendo. Con este álbum demuestra que está casi a la altura de su Master RED

    Brilliant. Best album of the year. Her best album in terms of lyrics. Not my favourite 1989 will always be that but still her best.

    Folklore is an excellent album, taylor did a great job creating ang composing her own songs with her skillful producers and co-composers. Every song from this album create a storyline that makes the listeners more creative and imaginative. Also, I really love the concept and aestheticisms of the album.

    Esta bastante bien. Explora un lado nuevo de ella y me encanta que las canciones tengan un sonido tan puro e íntimo. El concepto es buenísimo (las historias que se pasan de generación en generación, el triángulo adolescente etc.) y en cuanto a letras es magistral. Los lyrics de Taylor son auténtica poesía. Mis favoritas son cardigan, my tears ricochet y august. La única pega que le pondríaEsta bastante bien.

    Simply her best album lyrically wise. Other pop stans might find it boring but they failed to realize that aside from being alternative as the genre, it is also made by Swift to prove savageness in songwriting and song production.

    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.
