Jul 27, 2020This albums is the epitome of the Taylor Swift sound. Personally, I see this as Swift at best. Her vocals are soothing thus so fitting on the overall theme the album's trying to convey. Swift had been able to master control her voice. Her lyricism and how the poetry is delivered throughout the album is superb and consistent. TAYLOR SWIFT IS THE MUSIC INDISTRY. PERIOD.
-
Jul 24, 2020It's pretty good, I can feel the poetry of the lyrics and it makes me feel so nostalgic

Jul 26, 2020Can't believe that the same person who wrote music like shake it off and look what you made me do could make this crazy revolution of music genres in just a few years and make a lot of good song melodically and lyrically in this beautifully produced album!

Jul 27, 2020Perfect album that showcases Swift's strongest aspect: storytelling. "folklore" contains some of her best work with songs like "seven", "mirrorball", and "betty".
-
Jul 29, 2020Listening to this album feels like reading 16 different novels. The album is a mosaic of songs that blend together extremely well, but each song could stand alone. Each song has its own story to tell. The lyricism is reminiscent of some of Taylor’s greatest B sides.
-
Jul 29, 2020What a wonderful album. So different from what Taylor has put out before, yet that doesn’t diminish its singular beauty.
-
Jul 30, 2020The way this album takes you to another world when you’re listening is impressive, everything makes me say this is my favorite album from Taylor, not because the high quality of these lyrics but how she told a story singing her songs. Folklore is absolutely amazing.
-
Jul 29, 2020amazing album, Taylor keep outdoing herself, this is her best album lyricly along with red also this her first album that i liked every single song a lot.
-
Jul 29, 2020If you asked me what was my favorite Taylor Swift album a week ago, I'd say 1989 without hesitation. Now I'd have to think very well before answering. AMAZING!
-

Jul 30, 2020There's no doubt Taylor has become a household name in the music industry. With the release of Folklore, she has proven why she is indeed Artist of the Decade!
-
Jul 30, 2020Just perfect. I really feel that Taylor Swift was born to write this brilliant album. All I can say is: congratulations and keep on working on that style. It fits her so well
-
Aug 2, 2020An album that has the brilliant touch of everything from lyrics to the production of every single song. There's not a single skip in this album!!
-
Aug 2, 2020I actually enjoyed this more than Lover, even though I know that’s likely to bring some heat! Very listenable, and full of bangers
-
Aug 2, 2020I think the word that sums up this album well is perfection. Everything in it is very cohesive. The sonority. The instruments. The vocals. It's amazing how an album or song transports us to another universe. The memories, the images that are formed in our imagination are very special and unique. At the same time connected with those of other people.
-
Jul 29, 2020Este álbum tiene buena armonía. Su concepto está muy bien hecho y maneja excelentemente los ritmos. Las letras son demasiado bunas y la cantante tiene buena expresión vocal.
-
Jul 29, 2020this is some of taylor's best writing in a long time. poetic and heartfelt lyrics with an atmospheric aesthetic that fits her voice well. in my opinion, there isn't a single dud on the album, with "cardigan", "august", and "exile" being some of my personal favorites. call me a crazed swiftie all you want, but folklore is a refreshing and vulnerable experience that is worth appreciating!

Aug 2, 2020Really intense and amazing stories, Taylor has matured so much as a writer. Some songs do bore me and feel out of place but a fantastic body of work overall.
-
Aug 3, 2020Solid album. The songs all blend well with one another as they go from one to the next. I’ve got to say, this is one of her best albums yet. Not to mention the fact that she finished it all in less than three months! Taylor is, in my honest opinion, one of the best singer-songwriters of our generation.
-
Aug 3, 2020HEY QUEEN! Girl, you have done it again. Constantly raising the bar for us all and doing it flawlessly. I'd say I'm surprised, but I know who you are. I've seen it up close and person. Girl, you make me so proud, and I love you.

Aug 4, 2020O 1989 era até então o meu álbum favorito da Taylor e realmente achei que não existido outro à altura no quesito de qualidade, mas fui surpreendido pelo folklore e por essa sonoridade da Taylor que eu sempre precisei e não sabia até ouvir esse álbum.

Aug 28, 2020Might be the most atmospheric album of Taylor so far. It’s melancholic, with even some laidback songs containing blue undertones. She raised the bar once again proving she’s one of the best songwriters of her generation.

Aug 11, 2020I think it’s one of my favorite albums of all time. Thank you to Taylor for release this (it’s all we needed)
-
Jul 27, 2020“Folklore” is easily her magnum opus! It’s the perfect Taylor Swift album. Her essence is very clear here but still, she achieves something she has never done before. “Folklore” just proves she’s the best of her generation when it comes to songwriting.

Aug 28, 2020it's definitely Taylor's best album. after a colorful lover era and a bubblegum pop sound, it's a full 180 from what we've heard from her, she discovers new indie vibes, while serving a high quality songwriting, taylor swift at her finest
-
Jul 27, 2020It's one of her best album and one of my favorites also. It was playing on my streaming app nonstop. It manifests the sound I perfectly needed during this time of a pandemic. It also has the best stories and I really enjoyed it.
-
Aug 27, 2020This album is Taylor's best one yet. It shows her songwriting skill, the songs are catchy, it tells a story and it makes you want to listen over and over again. Even people I know who didn't used to be fans have told me they like this album.
-
Jul 27, 2020I love how Taylor Swift wrote folklore. I love the story telling, the puzzle pieces we can arrange, the overall production. It's solid!
I am a Swiftie, and at first I thought I wouldn't like it that much because it's an all alternative album, but I loved it more than much.
I, and many more people, do think that this, the album, deserves something big. Taylor deserves something big because of this. -
Jul 30, 2020Taylor Swift is the singer that can change change genre of music and still make the best songs on the world.

-
Aug 28, 2020I love the slower and more mature sound with some country vibes. It's the lyrics that really keep me interested, some deep and thoughtful songs but more 'fun' ones as well. So far definitely my favorite album of 2020!

-
Aug 28, 2020This is the holy grail of our times, the sound of the era and the new decade that captures every emotion and essence in these difficult times of our lives. It very well captures the nostalgia as well as modernity in the visions of future with a sound that is unmistakably of a new, mature and powerful Swift. I say Folklore is the best album of our times
-
Jul 27, 2020beautiful stuff. I like that TS is growing as a songwriting and doing more sophisticated work. She didn't have to. I love Aaron Dessner from The National and can hear the influences throughout and on piano work especially.

Aug 28, 2020It sounds like nothing she's done ever before. This is her best body of work (but, of course I say that every time there's new music from her), haven't stopped listening to it, it's amazing how Taylor can always overcome herself and put something fresh and new out so we can enjoy. I'm so proud of her.

Oct 31, 2020Amazing album beautifully written and such a welcome surprise. My favorite Taylor album besides Reputation.

Aug 28, 2020Usando sonidos nuevos, letras e historias diferentes a las que nos había dejado con Lover, Folklore es prueba de que Taylor Swift ofrece más que canciones pop para radios, ella ofrece una variación en su repertorio musical, este álbum se ha convertido en otro premio para ella y para sus fans.

UncutAug 13, 2020It'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]
-
Aug 7, 2020A 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.
-
Aug 3, 2020These 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.
