Sep 9, 2023This is one of the greatest pieces of work of all time, amazing lyrics and amazing sounds. Something that Taylor has never done before, and yet she’s so good at it

Aug 19, 2023Best album she's ever released in my opinion, and it's not even close. I listen to all the time
-
Jul 21, 2023Sem sombra de dúvidas o melhor da década até então e da carreira da Taylor. Cheio de referência literárias do século 19 o álbum cria uma narrativa fictícia sobre romance, medo e traição em 16 faixas que se fecham como um filme
-
Jul 13, 2023When everyone is chasing the new trend of disco pop music and making TikTok-friendly tracks, Taylor decides to make a great shift in the music industry; a crafty chamber-pop album. “the greatest american dynasty” is the standout of this album as it deserve a film adaptation.
-
Jul 11, 2023It's a poetic masterpiece developed by one of the greatest artists of all time. This body of work will perpetuate through the end of times.
-
May 24, 2023A f*king masterpiece! A perfect album, from beggining to end. Taylor Swift it's probaly the best writer of our generation. Thank god i was born in the same century of her, i feel sorry for the kids who won't be able to see her art bc of climate changes
-
May 21, 2023Lançou do nada, arriscou e entregou. Não esperava que ela fizesse algo assim e muito mesmo que saísse algo bom disso, porém tá ai, aclamado por todos.
-
May 3, 2023Swift continues to be a versatile and beautiful addition to pop music today, spanning 4 genres and perhaps more to come. She wows with her 'folklore' song writing abilities, with remarkable bridges and catchy hooks. Accompanied with whimsical production by new producer Dessner and her old time favourite Antonoff, Swift has created a wonderful world of folklore.
-
Apr 27, 2023Y’all don’t understand this is literally one of the best albums of all time like not even joking. Every single song on here is master class of writing and storytelling and production.
-
Apr 26, 2023This album was beautiful sonically as well as lyrically. The best from all of her works so far. The lyrics on this album never fail to paint a magical world. I don't know how to explain this but the production matches so well with the lyrics. All in all, a perfect album in my opinion.
-
Apr 25, 2023Everything about this album is 10/10. Every song from start to end hits every single time
-
Apr 16, 2023Taylor Swift proves once again that she's an incredible musician when she forgets that she's a popstar and gets lost in the woods. 10 out of 10.
-
Apr 11, 2023Perhaps the most emotional album I've ever listened to, and one of my favorite albums of all time. Everything about this album is just a long walk through the woods on a night when you're alone and depressed, and I think that's the exact vibe this album wanted to give.

Mar 30, 2023seven and the lakes are verified masterpieces, not even mentioning this is me trying and mirrorball.

Jul 24, 2020Folklore marks a new age for Taylor Swift’s career. With this record, the american singer not only achieved a huge comercial success, but a largely critically acclaimed album. Every track tells you a story with exceptional writing and atmospheric production. It’s my personal favorite from her catalog.
-
Mar 3, 2023Phenomenal writing. Folklore is the best written album ever written. The songs are beautifully sung, written and produced. She is not only an iconic singer, but an iconic writer.
-
Feb 7, 2023This album is so damn beautiful. Its so cohesive and the lyrics are insane. Truly deserved AOTY
-
Feb 1, 2023Taylor took a completely different direction here. It wasn't a bad decision, but after at least 3 listens, you can fall asleep to this album.
-

Dec 17, 2022I love it. She changes her genre's but never failed us. folklore is marked by modal melody, stanzaic and matured lyrics. Best album of her discography.
-
Dec 12, 2022While the lyricism is the centre part of the album, Taylor Swift does not let it stop her and her producers from making cohesive beats and beautiful melodies. She dives into this fairytale world with love triangles and rich women with summer homes, and she takes all of us with her. This album is the definition of 'unexpected, but very not unwelcome'. Another AOTY for Taylor Swift, well deserved
-
Dec 11, 2022it's amazing, it's wonderful, it's painful, and above all it's poetic, taylor knows how to compose songs like nobody else and folklore proves it in an extraordinarily competent way

Dec 6, 2022It's 2022, and folklore is still Taylor Swift's best album. The songwriting is incredible and authentic, we got some of her best-written songs in this album.
The production is wise, brave and original.
Best Tracks: exile (ft. Bon Iver), my tears ricochet , seven , august, illicit affairs , the lakes . -
Nov 16, 2022It's a very good album, Taylor's versatility for music is simply incredible. All the lyrics on this album and Taylor's creativity in writing amazes me, as does the excellent production on it. This is definitely the album of the year.

-
Oct 22, 2022Folklore is an incredible piece of work & lyrical masterpiece. Notably this is the first time Taylor has written an album where she’s not the main subject & I think she excelled at this. This album is in my regular rotations 2 years later
-

Aug 31, 2022Taylor Swift proves to be an incredible songwriter, while the stripped-back instrumentals and production compliment her brilliant vocals and lyrics nicely.
-
Aug 30, 2022THE ALBUM THAT I NEVER KNEW I NEEDED, because of this album I become an alternative/indie records fans and make me appreciate Lana Del Rey more because I never been fan of her before, but know I loved her very much. Taylor is also a big fan of her. A deserving ALBUM OF THE YEAR
-

-
Aug 30, 2022Maravilhoso! Melhor álbum de 2020, Taylor foi luz em Folklore e entregou muito mais do que eu esperava. 10/10.
-
Aug 30, 2022This, with evermore, is my only 9/10 ranking of a Taylor Swift album. Mainly, because I wouldn't even be listening to indie-folk if it wasn't Taylor Swift. So, even if the genre isn't really your cup of tea, but you like lyricism, give folklore a listen: YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED!

Aug 11, 2022It's always glad to see Taylor try a new style. Amazing album with beautiful sounds, especially august! Undoubtedly, Taylor Swift is the most talented singer-songwriter over the world. Jack and Aaron are also brilliant. And Bon Iver and William Bowery(Joe) really surprise me. Love from China!
-
Aug 10, 2022Never expect Taylor haters to give her albums anything good comments. Every song on the entire album is outstanding and detailed. There is no doubt that Taylor is indeed one of the best contemporary songwriters in America, as evidenced by her aptitude for resonating with teenage audiences.

Awards & Rankings

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.
