    Taylor no es de quedarse en un solo género, le encanta buscar nuebos géneros y sumergirse en ellos, este es un álbum simplemente hermoso, donde nos relata un triángulo amoroso inexisten pero con el que muchos de nosotros nos identificamos, definitivamente amo como ella aun sigue contando historias y como seguimos ahí oara transportarnos y amarla mas

    the poetic lyricism. The sonic/production masterpieces. Her best album, she had a vision and she fleshed it out and accomplished it with diving acuity, further reaffirming her stance as one of the best songwriters out there.

    I expected a Safe and Sound vibe from the album when it was about to be released (and since she, Taylor Swift, already updated us about how it will sound to us) and yes it's kind of like that, but exceeded it! You better have headphones and a calm area for best experience listening to the tracks. Also you may need some dictionary and researching and investigating along the journey. I'm blown away!

    Such a beautiful transition from the upbeat popstar to something even more personal than her previous music. I might be bias cause I am a swiftie but this album is a perfect balance of vocals and song writing. maybe really heavy on the songwriting though. very deep thought put into this album amd this deep sound of taylor swift is everything you may need during this pandemic.

    "Folklore" is indeed one of the most iconic artistic masterpiece ever written. This is what i call artistic expression at it's finest. The way she perceives life and navigates through it, sharing all her experiences she's had since the start of her career till date poetically through the perspective of the fictitious characters she has created is commendable. It's one thing to feel the"Folklore" is indeed one of the most iconic artistic masterpiece ever written. This is what i call artistic expression at it's finest. The way she perceives life and navigates through it, sharing all her experiences she's had since the start of her career till date poetically through the perspective of the fictitious characters she has created is commendable. It's one thing to feel the music, but it's another thing entirely for it to become a part of our being, to flow as freely through us as blood. The way she captured her raw emotions and painted it on the canvas embellished with beautifully crafted song writing accompanied with minimalist acoustically driven music and really simple yet refined, passionate and mature vocals is transcendental. She yet again proved to us that is undoubtedly one of the greatest lyricist of our generation. This album is one of the most cohesive piece of art she's ever created. It takes you on a journey to a whole new dimension and in the end, it ends on a good note, it's the retelling of forgotten tales, the sadness and pain of heartbreak, the happy and more authentic or in other words realistic side of love, it's everything wrapped in this delicate paper covered in sparkles. It cleanses your soul. And as Pericles had said, "what you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others." Thank you "Taylor Alison Swift" for gracing our lives with this timeless and evergreen piece of art during this dark filled with uncertainty period that we're the entire world is going through. I'm sure that this album will bring sunshine in the lives of billions and will give them strength to rise again.

    Taylor is helping to save the music industry from useless and bad influenced songs about sex, money, and fame by releasing good music that reminds you of the better past.    … Expand

    Taylor Swift es una gran artista, pero debería enfocarse en hacer un solo género musical, el álbum es muy repetitivo, canciones nada memorables. Taylor desaprovechó el gran álbum y concepto que era Lover para darnos este intento de música alternativa.

    Swift's most cohesive and emotionally charged work to date. It is a treat to dissect and discuss.

    Undoubtedly one of the best out of Taylor Swift. She has proved that art exists in any form you believe!

    A fictional album with some of the most beautiful lyrics Swift has ever made. Completely poetic, extremely emotional, you can't actually listen this album without saying at least a sentence touched you every song.

    this album is literally so well written. When I listen to the songs Its like hearing stories and I can visualise it. Illicit affairs is always stuck in my head and I'm not even complaining.

    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.
