    The lyricism and storytelling on this record is unmatched. From little tastes of her musical inspirations (Bon Iver, Fleetwood Mac, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor) to the stories inspired by life, art, and her imagination—she took us all on a journey to the center of our soul. In an age of uncertainty and stillness, timelessness emerged. Taylor found a way to connect every song to each otherThe lyricism and storytelling on this record is unmatched. From little tastes of her musical inspirations (Bon Iver, Fleetwood Mac, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor) to the stories inspired by life, art, and her imagination—she took us all on a journey to the center of our soul. In an age of uncertainty and stillness, timelessness emerged. Taylor found a way to connect every song to each other in ways that confuse the narrative but also explain so much. An absolute masterclass in songwriting and allowing the deepest parts of your heart to grab the mic.… Expand

Sus letras son magníficas, las historias que se cuentan a través de melodías y esos ritmos relajantes son el significado de Taylor Swift.

    I am amazed by taylor's evolution. the consistency in this album is an admirable thing, the stories behind each song are captivating, in this album taylor presents the best in her talent to songwrite. if on the album 'lover' she showed a mature worldview, in 'folklore' she is way ahead. credits to the fact that this masterpiece was made in social isolation. definitely her best album.

    From a surprise release to transitioning from pop to alternative with smooth ease, Taylor Swift has surprised us all once again! This album is a great body of work that proves Swift's great songwriting abilities and that she can still create sad songs from a place of happiness just using her imagination. Folklore is truly a lyrical masterpiece that deserves all the acclaim it received.

Eu senti como se eu estivesse sentada numa varanda, em uma fazenda no meio do nada; o inverno começando, o céu cinza e o vento balançando as folhas das árvores e da grama alta, e alguém tivesse me contando histórias. A cada história eu me interessava mais, queria saber mais, ouvir mais. A melodia parece a mesma, mas ela tem suas nuances, as particularidades que se destacam por conta da boa engenharia. Se você não tem o costume de ouvir músicas mais lentas, músicas alternativas, então, talvez, você não vá gostar do álbum. E se você for fã de música pop (pop fafora), esse álbum definitivamente não é a sua vibe, mas você pode gostar sim, basta dar uma chance pra um novo estilo que não está presente no seu cotidiano. E lembre-se: tá tudo bem não gostar, ninguém é obrigado a nada, mas não custa nada reconhecer que o álbum está bem feito. A taylor conseguiu fazer um álbum bom, com melodias tocantes, letras que com certeza vão tocar várias pessoas, que muitos vão se identificar, pois, falam de coisas habituais mas de forma poética.… Expand

    A MASTERPIECE. Her best work to date - a literal lullaby. Her writing always speaks to me but this time around it was different.

    Absolutely beautiful. Folklore feels like a wonderful gift from a close friend and is the most mature album Taylor has come out with. I’ve always loved her work but Folklore is even more magical than I could have hoped for

    Álbum maduro, profundo e poético. Com notas doces e melancólicas o álbum conseguiu alcançar uma nova musicalidade na carreira de Taylor Swift.

    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.
