    Absolutely incredible. Easily in the top 5 best albums of 2020, but when it comes to mainstream albums this is definitely number 1.

    Lo que hace Taylor Swift siempre me sorprende, quien diría que su próximo álbum estaría dominado por el alternativo, y aunque cambie de género sus fans siempre la apoyan sin importar que. Su música es de calidad.

    First ever alternative album!!! Finally this day comes!!! I can see shadows of the old days when she sings with guitar playing, with the purest emotions floating through... the more you listen the most places it takes you. This is especially needed in the middle of this pandemic.

    Folklore fits perfectly on quarantine chill mood it is made to be listen on our rooms. Furthermore it is sweet, sad and gives us a fuzzy warm feeling of home which makes listen to this album one of the greater experience I have ever had with music.

    Um álbum lançado na quarenta, que faz a gente aprender a gostar de se preservar e se segurar em casa. Um álbum gostoso de se ouvir. Cheio de sentimentos, folklore não peca em suas letras profundas e marcantes, muito coeso e um triângulo amoroso muito bem descrito. Taylor Swift, você foi muito perspicaz. Eu te amo!

    Folklore mostra a capacidade camaleônica de Taylor na música mainstream. Do Country ao Pop Swift sempre foi uma mestre em composição e produção as quais agora se repetem com maestria em um mais novo gênero. O oitavo álbum da cantora americana é repleto de letras refinadas e melodias contagiantes, da depressiva "seven" a pop "August".

Taylor's songwriting and storytelling on this album is beyond beautiful, and the production and lyrics are to die for. I'm honestly Taylor Swift made an album like this because this really suits her and brings out her incredible songwriting. Honestly one of her best albums. 10/10

    Taylor has simply reinvented herself. She’s not only a pop & country artist now but an alternative/folk artist too “which I hope she continues with”. Folklore is cohesive, contestant & enjoyable. This album take you to a new world which Taylor created in 3 months onlu. Folklore is not only album of the year but her best album lyrically for sure.

El disco es sencillamente espectacular, es como si a la poesía le agregaran música para deleitarnos con los sonidos más ambiguos que quizás escuchemos por mucho tiempo, Swift le otorga una pizca muy a su estilo sin perder esa esencia nostálgica y emocional que encajan perfectamente con esa fantasías que en lo mas profundo de nosotros quisiéramos traer a la vida, "Folklore" lo podemos escuchar en un día lluvioso mientras reposamos en nuestra ventana con una taza de chocolate caliente o en el transcurso del camino con nuestro par de audífonos mientras recordamos como fuesen sido las cosas si las hubiésemos hecho bien en el pasado.… Expand

    What a masterpiece for Taylor Swift to release. We all needed this. I think this was always going to be the direction she would go in. Her vocals - as ever vulnerable and beautiful and the songs are beautifully crafter production-wise- Time will tell if this will be her best yet and I will keep this short but wow what an album.10/10.

    This is the most authentic side of Swift. It's clear that since 2006, when she starts playing guitar and melodies with her piano she already wanted to express herself and what she had to say, and that's what she did with this album.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The1: song which can be similar to I forgot that you existed from her last album lover. Talks about how she is doing enjoying whatever she wants to do but also reminiscing about her past or past relationships.
    Cardigan: Song which is part of the love triangle Taylor which has mentioned. The song is written from the perspective of Betty. About how she was ditched by her lover James over a summer fling. The production of the sound is amazing
    The last great American Dynasty: A amazing song describing the life of Taylor's Rhode island house. Telling perfect story behind the house on that island. Rebeka Harnesses was the women who owned that huge house on that island and Taylor describes how huge parties were thrown at that place but sadly that she left that house and it on that Beach for 50 years until Taylor brought it and connects with how she used to do they same thing “ She had a marvelous time ruining everything” to “ I had a marvelous time ruining everything” Exile ft Bon Iver:
    This is one of her best Collaboration of all time. The track gives same vibes as her 2012 song The Last Time featuring Gary lightbody
    Bon Iver's vocals literally gives chills as soon as he starts. Song basically focuses how there was miscommunication in the relationship. how they was not able to understand each other even though they gave hints.The lyrics of this song screams haylor and even I think so with lyrics similarities in woman by Harry styles
    My Tears ricochet:
    According to swifties this song is about her feelings for Scott Brochetta. Taylor's former record label. Indicating with help of lyric like “ you hear my stolen lullabies”. Telling her journey about how she trusted her and WANTED to keep friendly relationships after she changed her record label, but he sold her master and her entire catalogue to scooter Braun without her consent. Mirrorball: it is my favorite track on FOLKLORE.
    From production to lyrics everything about this song is perfect. It is a perfect song to be played at prom nights and even at parties. She talks about how she is a mirrorball and she can reflect aka show her raw self to that person and can literally do anything for him. She talks about how sheshows her real self to that person when no one is around them. She tells how she can change herself to fit in with him and make this relationship work. SEVEN:
    Seven goes the most towards the india side in this album give the raw vibes from this amazing track. She starts by say “ please picture me in the trees, I hit my peak at seven” the lyricism in the song is absolutely amazing . It's a metaphor to a relation not working to due some reasons but they are trying their best to make it work from lyrics like“ And I've been meaning to tell you
    I think your house is haunted
    Your dad is always mad and that must be whyAnd I think you should come live with me”. Also giving reference to INDIA which is kNow for its culture.

    August:
    It's the second song of the famous love triangle created. This is from the perspective of the girl with whom james had a summer fling. My second fav on this album. Talks about how she met him in school and then they had a thing whole summer but it felt like nothing cause it happened to so quickly. She thought how this relationship could've worked but it didn't. I feel really bad for her.

    This is me trying:
    Not directly mentioned but it is the part of the love triangle. From perspective of James. Talking about how he is figuring things out and is still trying to understand everything and is sorry for everything. My fav lyric is “i was so ahead of the curve,that the curve became a sphere” and “pouring my heart to a stranger but I didn't pour the whiskey”

    Illicit affairs:
    Again being part of the love triangle but not mention. From the perspective of august girl talking how they started this thing and what this fling turned her into a mess she is still trying to figure out

    Invisible String:
    The most sweetest song in folklore. Its about Joe Alwyn. And how she talks about how grateful she is to meet him but she wished she met her little earlier in her life. Mad women:
    My least favorite song. She talks about how females can be dominating in the society even though society talks and Call her mad. There is something about the production i didn't like. Epiphany:
    A amazing track, great lyricism. Talks about life in genral. Mentions about her grandfather.
    I totally loved this track

    Betty:
    The last song of that love triangle,it is from perspective of James. And how he Misses Betty and called his relationship with that girl a summer thing. And blames her About everything that happened. Peace:
    Thia song is kind of a letter to joe and talks about giving him a child and how she sees his family as her own and she wants this relationship to become a family

    Hoax:
    A song which again is secretly part of the Love triangle. This from Betty's perspective.
    Asking james why he did it.    … Expand

    One of her most mature and peaceful album. We can clearly see her growth as an artist in this album. From debut to folklore. A masterpiece!

    Taylor é incrível, compositora de verdade, acho que deixa as pessoas mais próximas do artista, quando o artista escreve suas próprias músicas, me identifico muito com os albuns da Taylor em várias situações da minha vida

    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.
