Fans have been pouring their heart out for the album ever since its release. Here are some of the top reactions:
Okay #folklore thoughts from my bathtub: she’s always been brilliant with wordplay, but this album takes her mastery of NARRATIVE to another level. The twists. The imagery. You could turn any of the songs into a movie. You can close your eyes and see the way you’d use the light.— carina adly mackenzie (@cadlymack) July 24, 2020
You know that warm, fuzzy feeling that we get when we listen to call it what you want? This album encapsulates that entire feeling in each and every song and somehow that is everything I’ve ever wanted.#folklore pic.twitter.com/IQ9YCI72he— Hana (@MissAmericHANA) July 24, 2020

Taylor Swift went from country to pop to alternative. She’s one of the best musicians of all times and you can’t convince me otherwise #folklore— Irene / (@lillyswiftt13) July 24, 2020
I think we can all agree that #Folklore is the album of the year already pic.twitter.com/A50Xq8QBve— (@worshipaIex) July 24, 2020
