Jul 25, 2020In my opinion is the best album that Taylor Swift has ever made. The album is sonically cohesive and all the songs tell a story.
-
Jul 25, 2020Such a beautiful album. So many emotions and beautiful lyrics. I have no words.
-
Jul 25, 2020The artistic ability of her reaching its peek in this album. Finally she’s shaking off the bubblegum songwriting and production to a deep dive into her imagination that ables her to mark herself as one of the best contemporary artists. Congratulations Taylor!
-
Jul 25, 2020the most beautiful indie folk album I've heard this year. I especially like "exile" and "my tears ricochet". Magical lyrics with magical imageries. Heartbreaking, nostalgic, reflective, happy, and sad at the same time
-
Jul 25, 2020Fresh, rich in meaningful lyrics and story telling. Painful lyrics but the melodies eases the pain. Vulnerable lyrics but strong sounds.

Jul 25, 2020Her best album after Reputation. And that's on periodt. This album is THAT album you play when you drive home and it rains
-
Jul 25, 2020Brilliantly crafted! What's impressive is not only the fantastic content but the time it took for Taylor to whip it all up! The fact that one of the best albums I've had the privilege of listening to was created in a matter of months has me dumbfounded! Her lyricism is giving Shakespeare a run for his money! Simply put, we don't deserve an album this elegant and highly nuanced!
-
Jul 25, 2020Folklore saved 2020. Taylor Swift is undoubtably one of the best song writers. Her songs have a depth that creates that personal feeling, her songs tell beautifully crafted stories that can be interpreted in different ways and painted in different lights

Jul 25, 2020it's like a pure music, like before, she went to the origins of real songs, and the triology of Betty Inez and James is unreal

Jul 25, 2020Taylor’s unexpected surprise album folklore is everything I never knew I needed. Each song tells a story and somehow they all weave themselves together to become a giant story full of heartbreak, lust, pining, nostalgia, rage, regret, and hope. Every time I listen to this album I find something new- and that’s saying a lot since it’s been on repeat since the moment it released.

Jul 25, 2020folklore is unlike any album i’ve heard. There’s no pop bops, no extreme beat drops, and no radio anthems. Somehow, through lyrics and emotions, this album doesn’t need any boos, anthems, or beat drops. I’ve listened to this album for an entire day and the best time to connect with this album is at night with very low to no light on

Jul 25, 2020Beautifully haunting. Taylor paints a vivid tapestry in your mind. Her eloquent words tell you a story that you never want to end. With everything going on in the world now, in this moment of uncertainty, this album was what we needed; to listen to on a stormy night, and come to the realization that nothing is set in stone, and that nothing lasts forever.
-
Jul 25, 2020This is a sit by the fireplace with a cup of hot cocoa kind of mood. I know a lot of people are saying that this album does not have any bop hits. And I don’t think there was meant to be. Each song is meant to be listened to closely. Savoring and taking in each lyric and word. Masterpiece.
-

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.
