    Taylor atingiu seu ápice lírico nesse álbum! A produção assinada por Jack Antonoff, Aaron Dessner e pela própria Taylor mostra que não se precisa de um grande time pra montar uma obra de arte dessas. Orgulho de ser fã

    I'm a Swiftie but I'm gonna give you my honest opinion about the album. Not gonna lie, I didn't like it in the first place. I blame it to being awake for 24 consecutive hours to wait the album. After listening it two more times: I realized that this is a career highlight, Ms. Swift's best work up to date. I love all the tracks but Hoax is my favourite by far.

My Tears Ricochet, Illicit Affairs, Epiphany and Hoax are my personal favourites. Ms. Swift once again proved that she didn't come to play, that's why she won artist of the decade. She is one of the best songwriters of our generation. She is now nominated for 6 Grammy's and 5 of them are for Folklore. The Album of The Year, Taylor is coming for you!… Expand

    I want to share what the album ‘folklore’ means to me:
    When I woke up on July 23rd and checked my email, the first thing I saw was that Taylor was dropping a surprise album. I couldn’t believe it, I was shocked and thought it may have been a spam email.
    But I found out that it was true and I was so happy that entire day and up until 2am the next day. I won’t forget watching the ‘cardigan’    I want to share what the album ‘folklore’ means to me:

    But I found out that it was true and I was so happy that entire day and up until 2am the next day. I won’t forget watching the ‘cardigan’ music video as soon as it came out. I was captured by the visuals and by Taylor’s voice. I was in love with her artwork all over again and in a new way. This album has made me smile, cry, dance, and scream along at the top of my lungs. Many of these songs have hit very close to home for me and they have helped me process my emotions and my own experiences. One of the things I noticed right away was how exquisite Taylor’s voice is on this album! Her voice seems to embrace you like a warm hug. I am also so blown away by her ability to tell incredible and deep stories in 3 minute songs! I truly believe that this is an album for everyone, from the long time fans, to the kids with heartbreak, and for the person on their car ride home hearing one of these songs for the first time and who dives into Taylor’s world and artwork. I truly believe that everyone is able to relate to these songs and I appreciate how easy it is to fit these songs into your own personal story and give them each your own meaning. These songs hit close to the heart and bring up so many emotions and memories for all people. The album has chill, relaxing, peaceful, fun, and sad vibes. It is a beautiful album to add to Taylor’s discography and I’m so beyond proud of her for releasing it! As I sit writing this, I am listening to ‘folklore’ and thinking about all of the experiences and memories Taylor has brought into my life. From hearing her songs ‘White Horse,’ ‘You Belong With Me,’ and ‘Love Story’ on the radio back in 2008. To begging my dad to go to her Fearless tour and his dedication of dressing up as Taylor Swift to win me concert tickets from the local radio station. To falling back in love with Taylor and her music during the 1989 era after a rough few years in my life. To the day I won back stage passes to meet her at the 1989 tour. To telling her about the loss of my mother at age 7 and how her music helped me and all of her kind words. To experiencing the rep tour on the floor of the stadium. To buying her first SELF-OWNED record ‘Lover’ on the morning of preparing for sorority recruitment. And to this day, with the masterpiece ‘folklore’ out into the world. And every day of the future, I will stand by her side in support and in awe. Thank you Taylor for making music and for bringing so much happiness into this wild world. I am forever grateful to be your fan and I thank you Taylor for all your hard work and dedication. With love, Cassandra    … Expand

Habrá cambiado de género pero su melodía y su voz sigue entado ahí. Y eso es lo que me encanta. Es perfecto para escuchar siempre, su canciones me traen tanta paz y tranquilidad. Me transportan a un lugar en donde soy yo misma !… Expand

    Deep, honest and extremely mature album. I’m a Swiftie since forever and it just took 17 tracks to change my favorite album from Red to folklore. This deserves several awards. Great job Taylor.

    One of the best albums released in 2020. Swift did a very good job on this one. This is probably her best work yet and her most emotional album ever. This is the perfect type of album to listen to while it’s raining. I love it so much!

    Folklore, el mejor álbum de Taylor Swift por lejos. Las historias perfectamente narradas y colocadas, los sonidos y la cohesión del álbum en sí es una maravilla. Lo podría describir como mágico y nostálgico, con demasiado por dar aún. Deberían darse el lujo de explorarlo por ustedes mismos.

    A great album. Taylor really outdid herself and made one of her best albums. Enjoyed it very much. The lyricism is incredible, the production is calming and gives way for you to really enjoy the words. A solid album that shows a singer-songwriter doing what she does best.

    Amazing album. Swifties please go and give #folklore a 10 user score on Metacritic if you haven't already, certain fans are trying to bring its score down.

    It deserves to be the highest rated album of the year.

    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.
