Folklore is Taylor Swift's 8th studio album. It was released on July 24, 2020. This album was a surprise release and there were no promotions for it before it was released. This album is alternative/indie which is a new genre for Taylor. She first wrote country songs then pop and now indie. Folklore consists of 16 tracks and it has a sister album “evermore” which has 15 tracks.
Folklore is an indie album which was surprising to me because her album before this “lover” was a pop album. Folklore is one of my top three albums from Taylor Swift because all the songs are calm. My favorite song from the album is “the lakes” which is a bonus track. The lakes can be described as a peaceful and calm song to me which is why I love it. Another reason why I think this album is great is because there is a story between 3 songs. Cardigan, August, and Betty have a storyline that consists of Betty, James, and Augustine. The storyline is that there is a love triangle between those 3. I love how she can tell a story between these 3 songs and then also include all the other songs. I think all the songs on the album are great. I give this album a 5/5.
