Celebrities & Folklore Fun Facts, Stories & Updates

Folklore

Folklore is the eighth studio album by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. It was a surprise album, released through Republic Records on July 24, 2020, eleven months after its predecessor, Lover (2019). Featuring production from Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff, Folklore eschews the upbeat pop production of Swift's previous albums for mellow ballads driven by piano and guitar. Critics mostly describe the album as indie folk, alternative rock, and electro-folk, while a few classify it as pop. Swift wrote and recorded the album during the COVID-19 pandemic, conceiving it as "a collection of songs and stories that flowed like a stream of consciousness" rising out of her imagination. As opposed to her signature autobiographical themes, Folklore manifests vivid storytelling mostly from third-person perspectives that detail escapism, introspection and nostalgia, which reflects in its cottagecore aesthetic.
