    It's a great album, and I think it's her best since Red (which is my favorite). However, it's a long album, but it isn't a real problem. You get tired of listening at the end.

    I have always wanted Taylor Swift to create a soft, alternative, and instrumental album. Unlike her previous albums, particularly 1989, "folklore" by Taylor Swift is not created for the mainstream, but rather for her listeners to listen to and appreciate the beautiful lyrics to. This is her best album yet.

    Álbum com letras muito bem escritas e com uma produção que faz jus ao grande nome da artista. Grande jogada de marketing com album de surpresa e com o sucesso necessário. Grande marco do ano 2020. Merece no mínimo um Grammy. Parabéns Taylor e produtores por esse trabalho impecável.

    This album dives into emotions I didn’t even know I had. Taylor did an excellent job transitioning from country to pop, and now from pop to this. It’s excellent. Definitely one of her best albums.

    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.
