    One of the best albums of her career, an era with sensitive music and lyrics. All music and clips are very complex, have a beautiful concept. Many tracks tell stories from various perspectives, this was done with great intelligence. One of the songs is very nostalgic!

    A great album ; something new from her.
    It Might Be The best album released in the year 2020. Considering that she did this album in quarantine that is excellent.

    A mi parecer me encantó el estilo que utilizó mezclando géneros agradables y muy infravalorados como lo son el country, folk y indie. Me recordó mucho a "Colour The Small One" de Sia de acuerdo al estilo musical. Taylor es una artista llena de sorpresas y con cada álbum termina una era dando incio a otra.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Folklore has been lauded for its lyricism and while it is true that we are taken through a rich web of carefully placed metaphors and vocabulary, it being stripped back and positioned as a folk/alternative/indie(?) album means that Swift's on-the-nose writing tendencies are brought more starkly to the listeners attention. Taking 'mirrorball' as an example, as one redditor put it:

    "
    'I want you to know
    I'm a mirrorball
    I'll show you every version of yourself tonight
    I'll get you out on the floor
    Shimmering beautiful
    And when I break, it's in a million pieces'

    It's like ... yup! you explained how a mirrorball works very comprehensively, figuratively and quite literally. thank you! a little more tell than show, like an english class essay."

    One can't help but contrast Folklore to other albums in the space, for example Phoebe Bridger's Punisher, released only a month prior, which paints pictures using a collage of astute observations and stand alone metaphors that the listener must ruminate on before any meaning becomes clear. That's not to say that Swift's lyrics are not pleasing, they just feel more like musical theatre, where it is important that plot points are not missed, than an indie album. The lyrics of 'betty' and 'the last great american dynasty' feel the most naturally suited to the style of their music; both are outwardly telling a story with the former sounding like it wouldn't be out of place on a country album including Swift's own Fearless. Incidentally, these are two of my favourites on the album. I find this little run in tlgad particularly delightful:

    'The wedding was charming, if a little gauche
    There's only so far new money goes
    They picked out a home and called it "Holiday House"
    Their parties were tasteful, if a little loud
    The doctor had told him to settle down
    It must have been her fault his heart gave out
    '

    My personal, replay-17-times-in-a-row favourites, though, are the ones that, though probably based on fictitious scenarios, feel the most gut-wrenchingly honest and vulnerable: 'this is me trying' and 'hoax'. "Gut-wrenchingly honest and vulnerable" is, really, the quality that has always separated Taylor from her peers. Even in her endeavours to produce the perfect pop song and the feeling, particularly in her latest albums, that she /really wants us to know certain things/ (e.g. heavy handed references to alcohol - we get it Taylor, you're not a squeaky clean country girl anymore), there is no pop star we believe is showing us their real life more than Taylor Swift. Folklore has proven that it goes even further: there is no pop star we want to hear stories from more than Taylor Swift.    … Expand

    This is her most mature album sonically and lyrically yet. The way she blends her voice into every song paints a cinematic scene. I felt like I was actually in the album. A great thing is Taylor Swift take a role as the narrator by creating a collection of stories. She is then able to reconnect these songs for a melodramatic ending. The previous albums always ended end in a positive note.This is her most mature album sonically and lyrically yet. The way she blends her voice into every song paints a cinematic scene.

She is then able to reconnect these songs for a melodramatic ending. The previous albums always ended end in a positive note. Her voice is most suitable for this kind of genre because it’s not “powerful” or “hard” like Beyoncé, Ariana Grande or Katy Perry. Nothing wrong with them. Taylor Swift’s soft voice fits perfectly into this album to express her vulnerability. We’ll have to wait till can we hear her deluxe track. Simplicity is at its finest.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It peaks into great detail about love and humanity. Tracks like ‘mirrorball’, ‘the last great american dynasty’ and ‘seven’ all dive into an indie/pop. Tracks are very well produced, in high view and are all clear about the ways and intentions of what they mean. ‘august’ is a well example of that, this track speaks about a lover who is lost throughout the “school year” and loses touch with them. Taylor speaks about how this person wasn’t hers to lose or to cry over because they never accepted her. The album deserves a good 9-10 for how well-developed it is and especially the great production. Each track was built from perspective and truth which allows us to experience this with her. For an album built throughout the 4-5 month quarantine time, it is a beautiful record.… Expand

    Best album ever! Apartándose de los sonidos mainstream actuales, Taylor se adentra en sonidos ajenos a los que ha venido manejando a lo largo de su carrera. Bizarro (entendido como valiente), folklore es un paréntesis frente a todo lo que suena en el pop mainstream hoy en día.

    Taylor knows how to write and it shows: the complexity and the references blow my mind and every time i listen to it i find more. The fact that Taylor is showing versatility navigating genres but still remaining true to herself (listen to the country/pop influences) just proves she has a galaxy brain. Deserves AOTY nomination!

    Les dejamos un 10 por parte de las katycats, los queremos mucho swifties, este álbum es grandioso y esta artista también, iconica. Lamentamos que personas malas estén tratando de sabotear a dos reinas.

    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.
