    Um álbum simplesmente perfeito em que Taylor conseguiu explorar as mais diversas áreas dos seus sentimentos em uma batida Folk, o que fez com que ficasse ainda mais impecável em sua voz. Um álbum totalmente coeso com palavras indescritíveis. Um trabalho de pura qualidade.

    Folklore is a legendaric album that stretches out to different lores and visually pleasing rhythm but sewn in a tracklist that gives off a very cohesive and ambient vibe. It's nothing like Taylor has done, she has reimagined Indie and Alternative in her most experimental album

    This album is something not bacause of its production, but because of the lyrics. All of the songs are well-written, even the self-penned song. That's how incredible this album is, that's why it DESERVES the 10 POINTS that I gave. I'm so proud for Taylor to create a masterpuece once again.

    This is the effortless next step for Taylor Swift. At her boldest, folklore is the storm in which you lay and immerse yourself in vulnerability and sentimentality you never knew you were so welcoming of. It’s simple, beautiful, and all the words you couldn’t piece into a tapestry to encapsulate what love and stories are.

    Folklore is about the story-telling, the narrative, the characters and the lyricism. Swift took her a brave step to switch her genre from pop to alternative just like how she did in her 1989 era. This album can be described as a story-telling movie with songs acting as scenes in a movie. This is why its called folklore, it is the best album taylor has released up to date

    It is the kind of music you would want to listen on a cold foggy lonely evening with a book. It is a breath of fresh air!

    The entirety of the album made me felt nostalgic. It's like the breeze you felt, loved and embraced when you were once a kid. It is sweet, touching, solemnly pleasing and haunting at the same time.

    Masterful. Taylor Swift has proven once again, that her talent is not limited to a genre. With the most stunning vocals, dreamy gothic acoustic music, and lyrics that transport you to a specific setting and time, this might just be my favorite album yet.

    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.
