    Saved my 2020. A shift from pop to alternative is something rare in the music industry and Taylor didn’t fail us with this shift. Her exquisite use of words in the album’s lyrics is a plus. The songs are deep and it cuts right through tour heart. The album is the perfect genre for whatever the world is going through right now.

    This marks Swift finest songwriting and story-telling at the same time. She also successfully crossed over pop to alternative/indie genre which is very rare for some artist today. This album I think is one of the Top 3 best albums of Swift to date.

    It is a brand new and romantically described album created by astonishing Taylor Swift. In my mind,it is only second to Red in all her albums. Folklore makes the most romantic and the gentlest atmosphere.

    There is no fxxking doubt that “folklore” by Taylor Swift is the album of 2020, even one of the best albums in 21 century. This talented artist is always searching for something new to surprise the world. She taught the whole global music industry that in the time of terrible uncertainty, the best way to creat the best artwork is finding the true peace&love in life.

    Her best album to date. This just further solidifies her stance as the songwriter of her generation. She doesn't get into trends and sketchy means to let her voice be heard. A total package. Not your typical 'vocalist' or 'performer' but she is the total definition of an artist. She makes ger own craft and is the one who voices her art. Love this project sm.

    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.
