    ‘Evermore’ truly is a sister album to the unexpected spectacle that was ‘Folklore’, but more of a glittery prom queen who’s broke on the inside type of sister. A lot of the tracks sound happy compared to Folklore but are deeply saddening or accepting of fate to a degree only Swift could capture. Once again proving and holding her ground as the greatest songwriter of our generation.

    evermore, folklore's sister, although being very similar to her last record, introduces us to a whole new world; or, in other words, it takes us back in time to obscure epochs. the middle-ages are a big influence on swift's record, maybe for the great plague or for the fear that reigned that era. what she birthed was a timeless record that took a picture of a time we'll never forget,evermore, folklore's sister, although being very similar to her last record, introduces us to a whole new world; or, in other words, it takes us back in time to obscure epochs. the middle-ages are a big influence on swift's record, maybe for the great plague or for the fear that reigned that era. what she birthed was a timeless record that took a picture of a time we'll never forget, making it almost universal and prophetical. thank you for a superb album, taylor.

    my recommendations from evermore are: willow, gold rush, happiness.

    So, first off, this album is amazing and just a beautiful addition to folklore. I love the idea of having sister albums and these albums fit together so perfectly.

She destroyed us and the music industry. I love Taylor so much and she is such a powerful force, and this album is a perfect example of her talent. Some of my favorites, ‘gold rush’, ‘tolerate it’, & ‘ivy’, are crafted beautifully and are already instant classics. I love this album so much already and I can’t wait to dive deeper into it. Thank you Taylor. Expand

    It has this small town gloomy winter cabin vibe and unlike her other albums it’s like she writes from imagination about more specific kinds of pain and hurt rather than from her personal point of view(like she usually does) and she takes those imaginative plots and lyrically master the **** out of them-like every single track can be a whole book,they are so much fun to dig into and connectIt has this small town gloomy winter cabin vibe and unlike her other albums it’s like she writes from imagination about more specific kinds of pain and hurt rather than from her personal point of view(like she usually does) and she takes those imaginative plots and lyrically master the **** out of them-like every single track can be a whole book,they are so much fun to dig into and connect all the dots and lyrical meanings, I just want this album tattooed into my brain,it’s this sad poems sequel album to Folklore-so well written and sophisticated and there’s love and loss and it’s just summarize what it’s like to literally exist,in my head it’s this gray,old rusty brownish-red colour record with golden hues in it,and I can talk about it all day since it’s so detailed and beautiful and now I don’t feel special since everyone’s going to talk about what an amazing poet Taylor is when I had to insist on it for years and no one believed me before these 2 albums came into our lives..I just hope everyone sees now she’s one of a kind in this current mainstream-meaningless music industry,an ordinary person yet an extraordinary poet,one for the ages.

    A very strong album, unfortunately is over shadowed by its predecessor folklore (undoubtedly the album of the year). All songs are good but folklore has more remarkable songs that will be remembered forever. If evermore wouldn't been released in the same year would of have a stronger impact.

    Taylor Swift did it AGAIN! With ‘evermore’ miss Swift proved once again her massive talent for writing perfect musics. This album is a such an masterpiece, sad, beautiful and tragic lyrics. I can’t stop listening. One of the her bests albums so far. Thank you Taylor for doing this incredible job!

    A sister album for Folklore. Its a very good album with very good songs. But Taylor creates only gems. And for all the gems she created this is the cheapest gem.

    Even better than Folklore, while still having distinctions from its sister record. Standout tracks include No Body, No Crime ft. Haim and Evermore ft. Bon Iver. Aaron Dessner's key sound helps advance the "folklorian" nuances of Taylor's new mature sound. All the while, Jack Antonoff's production in Gold Rush lets listeners hold on to "the old Taylor".

Been hearing that evermore is her sister? Anyway, this album was just masterpiece. Lyrics wise, like a **** poetry. From the opening of willow to the last lines of evermore. Wow. Justin Vernon pull those notes! That murder mystery storytelling with the Haim sisters (though mostly acted as background vocals), I was just floored. Este come out! Matt and Taylor’s voice fits perfectly and did I just hear Markus’ vocals on cowboy like me? The production of closure? Not all gonna vibe with that alt rock style, but yes! Love it. Happiness but with melancholic lyrics? The irony. And DorotheaAAAA! Marjorie just hit close to home. Tears. Literally. Ms Taylor Swift, I am grateful for this album. Thank you.

    Taylor Swift’s songwriting has mirrored the style of poetry she referenced in ‘The Lakes’. Specific but highly relatable.

Evermore is promoted as the sister album to Folklore, however I believe this statement doesn’t encapsulate the unique listening experience that Evermore offers. The album is more stylistically coherent than Folklore, similar to the indie style production within The Nationals discography. This is due to Aaron Dresser being the primarily producer on the album. Overall, Evermore is the best in Taylor’s discography as it highlights the maturing of Taylor’s songwriting and the tracks melt together to a coherent collective that Taylor’s pop albums sometimes lacked .

    folklore's sister is that kind of sibling that goes a little bit harder than you. Taylor Swift extends her experimental game with the alternative genre and makes it her own flawlessly.
