Jul 24, 2020Her lyricism is unmatched. The way she provokes emotions in you that you never knew existed or how to put into words. She puts you through a whole story. The new sound is amazing and let’s you just immerse yourself in her voice and the lyrics.
-
Jul 24, 2020This album showcases her genius songwriting skills and her ability to tell stories with vivid images in listeners’ minds. The fact that this album was made during the isolation is a proof that TSwift is one of the best lyricists of all time!
-
Jul 24, 2020Taylor Swift excelled with folklore, a cohesive and mature álbum. Very emotional and touching a breath in this very exhausting moment of social isolation. Congratulations T.S.

Jul 24, 2020Just perfect!!!! Delicate, and with verses that come to be a poetry. Taylor excelled this time and delivered a magnificent job that was done in 4 months. The stories she tells and the connections between certain songs is just perfect.
-
Jul 24, 2020Sonically, a perfect bittersweet and euphoric piece. Lyrically, an in-depth cohesive poetry book that will provoke crying. The spirit of folklore is truly evident here, an chain of storytelling that’s so allusive yet so specific. My favorite album by Taylor Swift and is already in my top 3 albums of all time and I’ve only listened to it for 24 hours.
-
Jul 24, 2020Admit it. This is the best album of 2020. Shame to the little monsters who are giving this album a 0. Love Lady Gaga but that's so low of you guys.

Jul 24, 2020this album felt like a fever dream i didn't want to wake up from. the fact that taylor wrote it during quarantine just makes me more impressed. her storytelling, songwriting and vocal skills just get better and better and i'm just so proud of watching her grow through the years. truly iconic album.

Jul 25, 2020This is a brilliant Album. Tracks 1-5, 9 - 14 are excellent songs on first listen. The rest are very good. I am very impressed by her song writing. The story told in track 3, the conversational impasse in track 4, and the deep musings of the golden but invisible string were all deeply satisfying. Excellent!

Jul 25, 2020Um álbum cheio de versos tocantes e metáforas .
Acordes e melodias que lhe permitem viajar aos lugares mais distantes, as lembranças mais antigas.
Taylor me trouxe magia nesse trabalho.
Quem diria que sua obra de arte não seria nem Pop e nem Country. Mas um álbum Folk sem grandes produções escrito em dois meses -

Jul 26, 2020Amazing album, Taylor Swift is the best songwriter of our generation she keeps proving that every time with every album
-
Jul 26, 2020No me esperaba un álbum así de Taylor, cada vez nos sorprende ahora cambiando de género musical... la producción y en letra.. volvió a sus antiguos raíces pero manteniendo la esencia de quién es ahora.. el álbum del año en mi opinión ❤️
-
Jul 26, 2020In my personal opinion this album is the best of his entire career, I don't want to detract from his other albums but this latest album has better lyrics than the other studio albums.
-
Jul 26, 2020Es un álbum nostálgico y expresivo, algo que extrañaba de ella.
El cambio de Swift es bastante atrevido pero dió en el clavo con cada letra y melodía.
Puedo decir con seguridad que es un álbum que el mundo necesitaba. -
Jul 26, 2020Album of the year, definitely. Hauntingly beautiful tracks and brilliant songwriting. On repeat since release.
-
Jul 26, 2020The greatest alternative album ever heard, such a masterpiece and a wonderful trip between the songs
-
Jul 26, 2020The intricate lyricism, the mellow beat, and that folky sound, the cohesiveness of this album and the distinct stories of one another made this album such a masterpiece. This really became the definition of folklore, stories from her life and other lives made this album alive and meaningful. I love the new sound of hers.
-
Jul 26, 2020Her best album yet. The storytelling, the lyrics, the production. Not to mention this was created during isolation. Amazing album and totally recommend it. Taylor switches genes yet again effortlessly.

Jul 28, 2020i am not really fan of reputation and lover but this masterpiece. her storytelling is the best as always
-
Aug 2, 2020É bom! E demonstra toda a versatilidade da Taylor. Entretanto, é mais do mesmo. Para a Taylor é muito bom, pois mostra como ela se dá bem no country, pop e agora indie/folk... mas não é nada além daquilo que um bom artista indie/folk já tenha feito um dia.
-
Aug 28, 2020I don‘t have words... It‘s so beautiful ❤️ At first I didn‘t like it so mutch... But now I love it ❤️

Awards & Rankings
-
UncutAug 13, 2020It'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]
-
Aug 7, 2020A 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.
-
Aug 3, 2020These 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.
