    Taylor Swift's ability to switch from genre to genre throughout her career is amazing. Very cohesive and her storytelling in Folklore is amazing. She is the best songwriter of this generation and this album is just added proof. Very mature and should be the album of the year. I still can't believe she wrote it all during the quarantine. Love her.

    If you listen to Taylor Swift only for her catchy, danceable pop music, whether it's "Shake It Off," "You Need to Calm Down," "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," or one of her other famous hits, then folklore might not be the album for you.

    It is incredible how this spectacular singer not only reinvents herself but is also true to herself. Any other artist would adapt to the music that is fashionable so sunny to earn more money or fans or numbers of listeners. Taylor took a risk, bet on the new and won. An album that reaches the soul and that is directed for everyone.

    This lyrically poignant, experimental album includes Taylor's songwriting at its best, with different chapters, symbols, and connections throughout the album. Although "Epiphany" and "Mirrorball" do not reach the complex appeal of tracks like "This is Me Trying" and "Illicit Affairs," the entire project boasts its brilliant honesty and instrumental muse.

    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.
  3. 60
    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.
