god i remember when it was a trend to hate Taylor Swift. whenever I asked my friends why they hated her so much they never ever had a real answer. It pissed me off so much and everyone always made fun of me for loving her music.
whatever they can fight me.
IKR. I got pushed out of groups and bullied for my choice of music during high school. I was made to believe my musical taste was awful when the problem was them all along
@@arliiin7286 Being a Taylor fan proves you have impeccable taste in music. :) :) :)
We should really start a trend loving her
Arliiin that sucks so much and I really get that. I still to this day like artists that people hate for no reason :( the funny thing is in my case those people would tell me I was basic or mainstream for liking popular artists, but then they’d turn around and CHOOSE to hate popular artists BECAUSE they were popular? Its so-so fake and it’s mainstream to hate the mainstream JUST because it’s mainstream... ?it’s so stupid. just like whatever the hell you like and get over it?? and though it isn’t easy liking artists like these, at least we like who we like and stay true to who we are.
EPICA 1985 ditto 👌🏼✨
I really like how Taylor didn't put the August girl in the bad light. Instead, she described the girl as someone who's just desperate to love someone who loves someone else.
u n k n o w n I think Taylor was really careful about it and I think it shows the feminism she preaches. She literally showed us that all girl’s have crowns and we don’t need to have to girls pit against each other, just because someone decided to play with their feelings.
@@justarandomwithfivecolorsi5048 definitely a huge glow up on her part specially if we look back to better than revenge (which imo is still a great song but the real story behind it is something that even taylor doesn't support now)
@@unknown-qg9jg Girl, I literally just made the realization that better than revenge has such a bad meaning behind it, i don't know how i turned a bound eye on it, I literally listened to the entire speak now album yesterday
It's shows how much she's grown as a person in comparison to her other cheating songs.
and it's also the best song on the album lol
She really does have talent, it's hard to deny it
Well, YEAH
i see you in anime video's is see you in music videos
mothafkah you are everywhere
sensei please teach me your ways
IT'S YOU.
You again?!
You here too bro? Wow you got that pop soul as well eh
Can't even lie, that last album made me, a big black man with a beard, belt like Beyoncé on the highway in traffic
Love this comment 🤣🤣
AHAHAHAH, can we have more of this without judging please!!
@@livefoursims1839 I can answer that. Black men are expected to only listen to hip hop and maybe R&B male artists. If not you're considered weird, which is absolutely bullshit to me. I listen to what tf I want to
@@livefoursims1839 I love what you said!! Big up bro❤I'm the same, a huge pop and R&B lover since when I was younger and I started listening to more hip hop a couple of years ago maybe. Thanks for your message!
😂 I would pay money to hear you
Taylor: Spelling is Fun
Critics: She lost her songwriting ability
Taylor: Here's Folklore, SUCK IT!
This comment is so underrated 🤣
I'll always love _Spelling is fun_
Fun fact: Taylor was not the one who wrote that line. Brendon Urie did.
@@anisanurraudah8383 I knew that actually thanks for the info anyways 😁
We will not tolerate ME! or Brendon Urie slander.
Something about taylor swift that even after being one of the most successful music artists of all time, she is relatable. Her presence is very approchable type. Listening to her music is like listening to a friend.
@Bring Back KP, Animated Obviously /CrisisOnFire1977 after Eminem? I didn't knew Eminem was that big
@@sohailape yeah eminem is pretty big too.
@Bring Back KP, Animated Obviously /CrisisOnFire1977 who is Marshall?
@Bring Back KP, Animated Obviously /CrisisOnFire1977 no hahahahahaha
@Bring Back KP, Animated Obviously /CrisisOnFire1977 wait it's Eminem omg we learning something new every day
The fact that Taylor Swift has never objectively put out a bad album, the fact that most people can name at least 6 of her songs even if they’re her biggest hater, the fact that she STILL dominates the charts every time she releases anything, the fact that her longevity speaks volumes as she exists within an industry that loves one hit wonders is what makes me really grateful to have stanned her. Despite people's constant attempts to break her she comes back swinging with something that nobody can deny her- actual raw talent. She is a lyricist at heart and boy was this album a showcase of those incredible skills.
i love her
Yesss I totally agree. I’ve love Taylor for years, but everyone seems to have a problem with her or with me liking her. They don’t have to like her, but I would appreciate if people would recognize how talented she is, at least.
Lu Med she’s done worldwide tours if I’m not mistaken. I know she definitely did for her 1989 and Reputation tours. I wanna say for Red, too, correct me if I’m wrong. But she’s had worldwide tours.
@@myajanette sadly never truly worldwide like other similar artists. She's never toured South America except for a small event in Brazil once and she also doesn't tour Asia completely :/ She's also never gone to Mexico.
It’s not just talent but hard work. I think people appreciate it more when they’re given credit for their hard work and not just because they’re born talented :)
My biggest flex is that I never hated on Taylor even when it was a trend. Like lowkey she’s a really hardworking and nice person who climbed to the top because of her own talents. She’s queen period.
Same, I remember back in 2018 I had a high school sociology class where one girl was just like, "I hate Taylor Swift" out of nowhere and I asked her simply why. And she just repeated it and shrugged. So odd.
@@permanentstateofawe6544 I used to be one of those girls but now I love love her 😭❤️
I don't understand why a person can hate her? Like, why??
@@ajsc11 l used to be really insecure
Yeah one of my friends hated Taylor swift when it was a trend and now she likes her again.
Just proves she is not a loyal swifty.
New Romantics is so underrated, I feel bad for anyone that hasn't listened to it yet
Yess . I used to scream that song every day for whole year and even now
and it wasnt even included on the standard edition! its a deluxe track
Ikr!
It's such an uplifting yet sassy song that screams...some brutal truths
@Dark AnthemTV you are so pathetic....... desperately longing for people to hate Taylor.....but guess what... hating on Taylor doesn't make any sense anymore..... especially after the full phone call leaked....
We can find many sites ..many channels that spread white lies about Taylor...and we as fans have gotten used to never believing anything any hater or media say or write about her......the joke is one you that you even tried to turn us against her......
even if u’re not her fan, u gotta admit her songwriting skills is undeniably incredible
Periodt
AGREED
Yes
While every other celeb are busy having mental breakdowns, and cancelling themseleves
Taylor has proven to be one of the few good celebs that actually did something productive and amazing for her career.
She really used quarantine to her advantage, rather than let it ruin her.
Oh i love art
The girl is unbreakable
I hate it when people call Taylor Swift overrated. She's not. She's is self made and deserves every bit of her success. I still ponder, how Taylor has risen to be the one of the biggest stars without indulging in nudity, sex scams and drugs.
The best thing about her art, is how deeply and personally we'll can relate to very piece of it. In this era, where Katy Perry and Justin Bieber are struggling to fit in, Taylor still holds immense relevance today.
This lady is a jewel, rarest gem and a true craftsman.
'Folklore' is an escapism of the reality, for a while. It brings in an ensuing peace in your mundane schedule.
@Amaan Hassan Aziz that sounds like you're a fan then. Why say you're not a fan if you like the one thing she produces as an artist... Music.
Ryan Herd I disagree. I believe you can appreciate someone’s artistry, their music, but not be a fan of them as a person. Or you may not actively follow them or consistently stay up to date with their work, but you can still appreciate what you do hear. An example I would give is AC/DC. Personally, I’m not a fan of AC/DC. I haven’t listened to all of their albums, or know much about them as a group, but I do have a few favorite songs by them and can’t deny that they are an incredible band.
An additional example would be Melanie Martinez. I don’t like her as a person, and I don’t listen to her music often. But I can appreciate how unique she is as an artist and do like a few of her songs.
@@haleyzuniga6394 true
I like Taylor swift , not only bcoz she is humble and hardworking but she is a good human
Yeah this is so true. Taylor has never ever had a scandal or anything bad come out about her. The girl literally has no skeletons in her closet and doesn’t do anything to bother anyone. Kinda sad that she was so hated on for no reason tbh seeing as our of most celebrities she doesn’t have any controversies that consist of anything really important like racism, selling their souls, drugs or alcohol addictions etc that a lot of others do.
@@haleyzuniga6394 I think that's a weird way to consume and enjoy art. The people making music have no duty to be "likable" for them to be a great artist. These artists aren't reality stars whose main product is themselves. They are creating music to be enjoyed. If you enjoy the music, then by all reasonable accounts you are a fan of the one thing they set out to share and be judged. It just seems silly to be overly concerned with whether you think a person you've never met before is a good person or not. Do you like the music or not? That's what they are all about.
for a pop star of her status... especially considering the massive success of her previous 3 albums..
she took a risky yet necessary route in her career. changed into a different genre. dropped it as a surprise album.
it was risky, but it all paid off. cardigan debuted at #1 on the charts and the album itself is still sitting without competition in its 4th week at #1.
She deserves it
@5,ooo LightYears Away ariana just started to peak. She will eventually do more risky choice on her discography in the future
@5,ooo LightYears Away i heard she doing rnb album for her next release tho
casually cruel it was a good album imo
@casually cruel well some songs does sounded weird but i like several such as ntltc, giaw, rem and the intro lol
august and seven stans where you at
never clicked so fast in my life
Period 💅
OMG MEEEE
🖐️🖐️
✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻
I used to hate Taylor Swift back in the day when it was considered “cool” and “trendy” to do so, but never had a reason to other than internalized misogyny. Listening to folklore and watching her film “Miss Americana” truly changed my perspective on her. I see she is a mature young woman who is making positive changes in her life, and I have nothing but respect for her as an artist and as a person! This album is absolutely beautiful and one of my favorite pieces to have been released during quarantine thus far! Mirrorball, Seven, August and Epiphany have to be my absolute favorite tracks off this album!!
It’s nice to see someone open their minds and admit their faults 😊 and improve themselves 😊 that’s very mature and awesome of you to do :)
If you stan reputation and folklore then your taste is immaculate
Listened to both of them today! ♥️perfection ♥️
Farida Souliman ❤️
Damn! thank you
yuppp
Such beautiful music. She has 2 crowns one is rep and other is folklore
ok but her bonus track 'the lakes' is so good!
So romantic without being cheesy, it reminded me of the sound of music
TAKE ME TO THE LAKES WHERE ALL THE POETS WENT TO DIE... i felt the emotions that didnt exist in me tbh
@@Ana-pj1gf I loved that movie
I didn’t really care for it
Is it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me 🌹✨
the album is partially autobiographical. ‘invisible string’ is definitely about her and joe alwyn. ‘my tears ricochet’ may sound like a song about a bad breakup but it’s def about her and her previous label.
I would also say that ‘Peace’ is most likely about her and Joe, as well!
@@christie1112 Definitely. I think it's the best love song she has ever written
Don't forget 'The Lakes' as well
There is subtext throughout the album (especially in songs like "this is me trying," "my tears ricochet," "mad woman," and "hoax" that are partially autobiographical, especially if you've followed Taylor Swift throughout the years.
@@its_starboy also the bridge in the last great american dynasty is about her
I’ve also noticed Taylor is so original you can’t say that she is anything like the artists that have come before her there is only one Taylor Swift
I would say that Dolly Parton and Shania Twain paved the way for Taylor's career. Nothing is really original in this world, just saying.
@@kamallb4650 I want to clarify that part of you saying she is nothing like the artists that have come before her.
@@fadhiladinugraha And Dolly and Shania especially had to look at artists before them like Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn and John Denver. Everything is learned in music, not inherited.
@@aaliyahfoster2705 of course, that's why I said nothing is original. I'm not attacking Taylor at all, but just trying to clear up a misunderstanding that usually happens on fans who really idolatize their idol so much and think that their idol are original and totally different from other artists.
What is original with Taylor is that his music is special, never sounds like modern music, and that's why a lot of people don't like his music, I think. Each Taylor's album has its own story and I don't think any other artists does it because they need to be like the others. Taylor is also an artist who make different genre of music and always broke records. I think it's a really rare talent. Only original and special person can break all records and go down in history, and this artist is Taylor Swift.
Anyway, everyone have their opinion.
How can someone be a superstar but criminally underrated at the same time?
she definitely deserves way more recognition, like her songwriting is INCREDIBLE, no other artists these days writes as perfect and impactful as her
@Kelli L ok 😒now go away
@Kelli L lmao please
@Kelli L She's not vocalist. She's singer/songwriters. Her biggest talent is songwriter skill not her voice
@Kelli L whatever... your opinion would not change the fact that she is a QUEEN 👑
Imagine if she did a visual album for this project. It would be beautiful.
that would be pretty dope
folklore would've been an amazing visual album tbh
She made a lyric video for each song. All of them are on her UA-cam channel
@@JamesKovacic that's not a visual album. Take for example Beyoncé's Self-titled, Lemonade, & Black Is King (especially this one). The album has a strong narrative that someone can pen a movie out of it.
@@JamesKovacic yeah. Though he's controversial, Todrick Hall could help her since he has 2 visual albums. They are also very close friends and he'd understand her vision.
She is one of the few living legends.
She makes every genre her own.
Taylor Swift is a genre.
@@aaliyahfoster2705 and the music industry.
This is the best Taylor Swift album lyrically, fight me.
Edit: the most likes i had! Taylor really is a walking dictionary.
speak now is better
1985 was for sure this is just new so its easy to put it at the top for now
@@skylerpresley8223 for lyrics 1989 not really good. Speak now and red are better than 1989
@@stephencroft1612 Speak Now and Red are close second, folklore won by maturity of sound
@@skylerpresley8223 1989 has some of the weakest lyrics, but it was a shift and a moment for pop culture
“it has some of her best written songs like back to december & enchanted”
dear john & last kiss: 👁💧👄💧👁
Also Long Live, Never Grow Up, Haunted and Innocent.
Nur Peach the whole album is a masterpiece
All too well
@@ronakaejaz7466 not on Speak Now, although I do agree it's one of her best songs.
@@mikak1765 it sure is!
She is literally one of the most versatile artists out there. Everything she turns her hand to she slays
Versatile????? LMFAOOOOOO
@@denzellucas609 well yeah she's been able to move seamlessly between different styles, and still be ,at the very least, positively viewed by most music critics.
Agree❤
@@denzellucas609 go away! I know you're a hater and keep trashtalking old-school hate. Taylor's hater always say that Taylor can't sing. Stfu! She is not a vocalist. She is an artist. Just praise and idolize your 5-octave-vocal range puppet!! Leave!!
Denzel Lucas well she did pop, country, hip-hop, funk etc...
I hope she gets the respect she deserves, cause there are still a lot of people who don’t understand why she’s famous and has got so many awards, she’s definetely still underappreciated
she is not underappreciated at all, especially among white people.
Fadhil AN racist much
@@nveletkoslin33771 How was that racist? White people do love them some Taylor! So do I❤
Amatullah Muhammad If you are going to pretend to not see the negative implication (or maybe you're just too stupid to catch it), then i'm not going to converse with you.
@@nveletkoslin33771 I'm not racist, I'm just telling the truth. She is a representative of white teenage girls in the US, most of her fanbase consists of them. Also Grammy favor her so much. We all know Grammy love to snub people of color, instead they will give the thropies to the same white artists, again and again.
Can we talk about how long she has been relevant! She is constantly changing styles to stay on top and she never does he same thing twice. I really don't think there is many other artists who can pull that off.
"I'm still trying everything to keep you looking at me"
Cause she's a mirrorball
She debut officially (as in having first single) before gaga and katy!! And she’s still Relevant omg
Pentagon of leader So true!
She's the only artist who has kept separating herself from the rest of the pack, both when she was in country music and pop.
She was compared to Carrie, Miranda, and Sara Evans starting out. She was then grouped into the acoustic/pop-rock girlies of the 2000s of Colbie Caillat, Natasha Bedingfield, and Kelly Clarkson. She then found home with the 2010s pop girlies of Gaga, Katy, Meghan, Rihanna, and Kesha. And now she's leveled up to be compared to the late 2010-comers Ariana and Dua Lipa and into the 2020s in a new territory that only Madonna had stepped into previously.
I've been listening Taylor for 10 years. I was a literal kid and she was a young woman, now i am a young woman and she's a mature woman. So many things changed, but her growth as a an artist is neverending, so i remain a fan. Thank you Taylor 🤗
this!
Mature woman?? At 30?! 😂
I love tzuyu on the propic.
I relate to this so much i remember my parents would tease me a bit with the music i listened to (1d for example) but my dad always loved listening to taylor with me and i realized there was something that ser her apart from other stars
a swiftie and a once? omg hi❤️
I’m not super into Taylor’s music, but her voice is pretty and she’s a great songwriter.
Thank you for not being one of those people who waste their time bashing her and her fans :)
Sam Holloway I really only shit talk singers I REALLY hate.😂
Best production - Red or 1989
Best vocals - Reputation or Lover
Best songwriting - Folklore
She just keeps getting better at everything
Although I liked some songs on Lover I didn't really connect with the album and was kinda scared it was the start of Taylor's decline... But then she goes and does Folklore, her best album yet for me
Same. There were some good songs on lover, but I definitely wouldn’t say it’s her best work personally. I was also worried about her future projects because of that, but folklore definitely surpassed my expectations
SAME！
Same gurl 😭 but she proved me wrong with folklore!! Deff her best album yet after rep & RED
YESS
@@B2STLover501 I'm kind of scared for the next album cycle though since folklore has everything that people and Swifties wished for from every past era. TS9 is either gonna be a big disappointment for fans and people alike or a 1989-style of success.
The fact that shes actively not a pawn of her label
it's kinda surprising , how often do you see such big artists like her to own their masters
It’s because she hit it big on a small label, writes her own material and learned her lesson about owning her own masters. Most artists are at the mercy of their label because they don’t really own their work.
If i were her label, I would let her do what the fk she wanted to, since whatever she does, if not inder bondage and with her own creativity, would be a masterpiece
Well luckily she’s her own label now
I don’t understand how she got UMG to agree to everything. She owns her masters, they dont make that much off her tours, and she made them give EVERY artist a bigger spotify share. Her power
yep, great album. my favorite song is mirrorball. i never heard a song written this accurately about shapeshifting yourself to please others (i need some therapy lol)
I cried listening to that yesterday almost out of nowhere but I love that song so much
Same! Especially the bridge. Still on that tightrope. Sigh.
Also, listen to Love me by Katy perry
i instantly loved mirrorball because the theme is similar to a song that I cried to - human by dodie
I love that one too. I relate all too well (sorry for the pun). Another song is Chameleon by Blixemi.
Taylor's voice is like home to me. I don't know how is that possible. Like she doesn't even know that I exist but everytime I am down, or just wanna listen to any song..my go-to person is Taylor.
Swiftie for life.
"The lyrics could cut glass." Only swifties will get this lmao
Gorgeous 💀💀
_You make me so happy😂 it turns back to sad😪_
@@aaliyahfoster2705 there's nothing I hate more😠 than what I can't have😍🥺👉👈
Ban AIDS don't fix bullet holes right?
😂😂😂😂😂 fandom Jokes 🤡
if folklore doesn’t win a grammy i will riot istg
Which award do you want it to win? There are multiple better candidates to win AOTY (After Hours, Alfredo) and it can't win best pop album because it isn't pop. I'm just curious which Grammy you think the album should win.
Rayford Reed album of the year
Rayford Reed it will be entered as pop vocal album. NFR got nominated last year in pop so taylor’s will too
@@boballep1381 I guess that's true, the Grammy's have a history of classifying albums incorrectly
Rayford Reed the genre of the album is (mostly) chamber pop.
dont know what genre you put this in?
Apple music says it’s "Alternative"
folklore is simply the name & concept
How on earth did she come up with this album in 4 months meanwhile Kendrick, lorde and adelle have still not finished their albums
I read an article where it said Adele doesn't know when she's releasing her next album. It could be this year, could be next. With J. Cole dropping all these songs, I'm expecting him to release a new project this year. I'm not sure about Kendrick
Lorde was supposed to release it in January but her dog died and she wanted to include that in her album
leave lorde alone she’s working hard
cause she’s TAYLOR SWIFT
Kendrick drop this fricking album.
Kanye too.
Her weakest non-break through album sold 5M + in US alone. Let that sinks in. And as a whole the debut album is the weakest but it was so endearing and it’s still one of my fav. “Tim McGraw” her debut single is still my favourite song from her
It’s also the longest charting album of the entire 2000’s decade with 270+ weeks
Debut is frequently overlooked. Teardrops On My Guitar was the "bad guy" (Billie Eilish) of the late 2000s. It charted for so long and re-entered the chart that it became her first pop crossover hit before Love Story and it brought the success of her high school talent show song Our Song, Picture to Burn, and Should've Said No to cap the cycle. She was competing against the American Idol success of Carrie Underwood at the time.
Kamal LB don’t even go there😭
Callum Sinclair to be fair her debut album was just very very impressive especially when it’s set within the country genre. To be able to achieve this sort of stats in the overall chart is quite crazy and she was 16
Aaliyah Foster teardrops on my guitar is lowkey really that girl on that album. 🔥
This woman is so talented, I honestly don’t see why she gets so much hate
i think people just get tired of constantly hearing stuff about someone her break was good she’s not hated on now really
People hate successful women
EsQuire
also that too
They just mad because she always writes songs about her exes and how they always broke her heart but I don't blame her.
That’s coming from those who are envious
feels like she was born for music
she's becoming better and better, she deserves a lot
it’s undeniable that she is the pop star of our generation, managing to stay relevant for the past 15 years of her career. she’s also one of the few artists who is still able to sell albums instead of just streams
Both her and Metallica are the only ones who are still relevant after so long to sell albums. Adam Levine is also one of those few, but his creative artistry has become very debatable.
Folklore is the kinda album we all wanted from taylor
Am I the only one who loves Mad Woman the most? I am always humming the last part of the song.
mirrorball and peace as well!!
@@kamallb4650 have you listened to the last part of Mad Woman, it is so elegant and passive agressive.
THE MASTER OF SPIN HAS A COUPLE SIDE FLINGS GOOD WIVES ALWAYS KNOW SHE SHOULD BE MAD SHOULD BE SCATHING LIKE ME BUT NO ONE LIKES A MAD WOMAN i love those lines sm hahah
@@angelinaeliselim that and then after that the chorus is so addicting with her singing.
@@kamallb4650 im not saying the rest are not good, I am just stuck on Mad Woman.
I feel like peace was the one song that was really about her life, like it’s her vulnerability with Joe and who she is in the public eye and what she can offer him...
Also invisible string.
Finally someone who is talking about this song, I love this song so much, the lyrics are so personal and her voice just hits hard. It's definitely in my top 5.
Just gave you the 13th like 💚
and the last great american dynasty
, my tears ricochet, mirrorball, this is me trying, invisible string, mad woman, epiphany, the lakes, maybe seven
,
Алиса Матеева I think there are bits of some of the songs that are about her life and then there are some songs that are entirely about her life. I think invisible string is one of them.
Taylor is a one of a kind artist. There will never be another one
While most celebs are stuck having mental breakdowns, and busy cancelling themseleves,
Taylor has proven herself to be one of the few good celebs that actually did something productive and amazing for her career.
She really used quarantine to her advantage, rather than let it ruin her.
Ramieverse ! 🤣🤣I love Taylor for this.
@@greenergrass4060 hey don't shame those celebs who go through mental breakdowns, you don't know what they're going through. Not everyone is as strong as they should be, and everybody responds to struggles and trauma differently. No need to pit shame.
Just like BTS
@@winwinsattorney2912 I love BTS and Taylor.......I'm more of a bangswiftie
In my opinion :
Reputation is her best album production wise
Folklore is her best album in terms of songwriting and lyrics.
Edit : Wow , didn't expected that much likes. Thank you guys ❤️
@C C 1989 is not my favorite but it was okay for me but the only favorite song on the album i have is Out of The Woods ( one of the best songs Taylor has ever released , but underrated af)
I agree! People say it's a little outdated because it has hints of dubstep in some tracks. I don't mind it at all. The overall 'dark' vibes remind me of Blackout by Britney and even The Fame Monster by Lady Gaga. It does have a lot of fillers unfortunately, could've easily been cut down to 11 or 10 tracks, but I definitely love the rep era overall.
Same
1989 is the best album, look at Wildest Dreams, Style and Bad Blood
YESSSS REP
The fact that this talented person got cancelled years ago by someone who just shows their body to instagram as a job is baffling. 🙄
*I KNOW*
Ikr
I still lose sleep because of this....
this seems pretty misogynistic
Babe, showing off your body is not a problem, nor is it okay for you to insinuate that. Taylor would be disappointed with this comment. Do better.
one interpretation of this album is that it’s a metaphor about losing her masters, so even though the stories are made up the loss and grief feels so real
My heart breaks everytime I listen to "my tears ricochet"
One of her best bridges
One of her best songs
@@ivymural9201 absolutely. But the bridge hits different.
" I can go anywhere I want, anywhere I want just not home " is just... sad
her best track 5. i can’t believe she wrote that masterpiece alone. everything about it is epic. the lyrics, the agony in her voice in “you hear my stolen lullaby” and it echoes and suddenly goes calm again representing “and so the battleships will sink beneath the waves” and it’s just epic in a way i can’t explain. truly genius. EVERY line and lyric in that song is amazing. i start crying and i break down every time she says “cuz when id fight you used to tell me i was brave”
"This is me Trying" is one of my favorite songs, EVER, I seriously adore Folklore and it's-to me, her most honest (Ironically since none of those songs are actually about her), loving, and wonderfully written music ever. Folklore has been my companion throughout quarantine and my worst depression spell ever. I will defend it till I die.
Why don't we ever talk about how she was the first female solo artist to win album of year twice at the Grammys
Update: THRICE!!!
thrice now
Taylor has been my favourite female artist since I first heard Love Story back when I was 14 years old in 2009, and I think she always will be. Because her music and lyricism is just so beautiful and mesmerising.
who's your favorite male artist tho?
Exile was so so good, the whole album was!
i feel like people take her for granted sometimes. im pretty sure, she's THAT one artist we could experience once in our life time, there will be no one like her for a long long time.
This might be my favorite Taylor release ever. I never thought I’d love anything more than reputation
Legit same. Reputation was my favourite and before that it was Speak now
Gurl SAME !! I love rep sm but folklore just came and snatched her throne 😭 feel bad to rep but she still on top no matter what
Same lol
taylor just has the abillity to write whatever she wanted and i would still worship
Folklore is her best album yet. Her most mature, introspective, stream of consciousness (as Taylor herself said)
She claps back at her critics, she reacts but most importantly Taylor Swift actually takes constructive criticism.
They thought she could only write about personal experiences but now she's proven that she can write from multiple perspectives, she can write fantastic imaginary scenarios and come up with excellent plots. She's evolved as a songwriter. She might deal with similar themes but they're approached differently now. Her older songs were more or less literal now her songs are more metaphorical and replete with symbolism and figurative language.
She deserves the attention she gets as a songwriter.
No Body no Crime is an Example. Girl Litteraly made a better plot than Most Thriller movies
This hopefully will be the atoy at the Grammys
Also black is king album
@@avaishnavi5581 FOR REALLLL
They already awarded her AOTY twice, i dont think they will give any artist 3 AOTY, even tho it's well deserved
After hours is competing for that spot too
It will definitely be interesting next year there hasn’t really been major albums this year just a lot of singles
where are you invisible string, seven, august, the last great american dynasty, mad woman and hoax stans?
🙌🏽
I love her debut, why do people keep trashing it ?😭😭😭
Me too, I still listen to her debut album and love it. But he was not trashing it, he just said it is not as good when compared to her other albums.
Probably because it's not their style. It's really country even more than Fearless. It takes someone who can casually listen to Maddie & Tae or Luke Combs to really appreciate the style.
i like it more than Fearless honestly. my ranking is def
9. Fearless
8. 1989
7. Debut
6. Red
5. Lover
4. Rep
3. Speak Now
2. Evermore
1. Folklore
Lover and Folklore are great albums. People hate just to hate.
And now we're getting Evermoreeee
The woman is gifted. Gifted. And she deserves all the success and all the praise. Folklore is a masterpiece, and I thought lover was a masterpiece in pop writing but folklore was so unexpected, so brilliant. Some of those songs are just breath takingly beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes in many of those songs. She's wonderful.
Taylor really is a genius song writer and really a talented artists no one can erase that
I never cared for her vocally but I cannot deny she’s a hell of a writer and a respectable musician.
Me but I personally think she has beautiful tone and vocal color..it s very unique and it made up for her mediocre vocal which she trained for 12 years now to make it sound better n better..i always give her props for trying and always wanting to improve,,..everytime she came out w a new album her vocal is better n better... i cant say the same about other who dont have the best vocal and DONT wanna improve
Reputation has no flaws or filler
Standard Straight Kicker what does he mean by filler?
finally someone
Irene songs that just make the album longer instead of bringing something to the concept or narrative. and yes, reputation had no fillers period
Personally I don't enjoy it haha although I love Taylor... some of the songs are good (idsb, getaway car, dress) but overall I don't think it is a true representation of her talents
I think Taylor is one of the best artist of this decade
She IS the Artist of the Decade
No she Is
Tbh shes so talented lyrically and shes not even a basic artist shes just simple
Yes you can't deny that at all
She Is The Best Pop Artist of The Decade.
The Best Artist of The 2010's is in my opinion either Kanye, Frank Ocean or Kendrick, just saying.
Truthfully, the Queen of songwriting
folklore is incredibly well done. have you heard of her follow-up to it? the "sister album", as she calls it, called "evermore"? It is also a great album. you should give it a listen! :)
She has a great voice, but her actual magic is her songwriting skill.
Idk but I realised that each and every taylor swift album has held so many memories in my life.
Maybe years from now, we will tell our generation how much of a wonderful artist she is
folklore hurt my feelings with some songs but I guess that pain would be for evermore
Y’all don’t pretend you don’t like Taylor. She’s a legend
nope she not a legend. she nothing compared to michael jackson
@@xFellazz and ur a nothing in comparison to both of them... now get a life instead of muggling into others
xFellazz she’s a better songwriter than Michael
@@xFellazz michael jackson may be a better songwriter but taylor ain't a kiddie diddler 🥰
She is not a legend wtf is wrong with you !
Folklore marks the advancement of Taylor swift's writing. The whole album felt like a complex poem.
Her writing skills are so good!!!!!!!!!
Thank you honest for continuing to shine a light on the artistry that is Taylor Swift. At her core, she isn’t a “hit”-maker or a superstar, she’s a storyteller. pass down her folklore.
No amount of respect for Taylor Swift is enough and yet the gp don't respect her at all. Truly a shame that'll come to light when she is remembered in a few decades.
@Ronniefer General Public
taylor swift really is amazing. im a hugeeee swiftie. folklore and evermore really tug on my heartstrings tho. exile and evermore made me c r y. literally c r y. she can write any genre and it still be amazing. her countrys amazing , her pop is amazing , her soft pop is amazing. all of it. amazing.
Her folk music/folk pop is amazing, too.
Never was really a big Taylor fan , but Reputation is one of my favorite and only full body of work I listened to and love on first listen . Taylor is an true artist and writes her heart out . Something most of these new pop artist doesn’t do today .
She said red but ✨sonically cohesieve✨
My favorites on Folklore are
The Last Great American Dynasty
Seven
Invisible String
August
The Lakes
mine are the last great american dynasty, betty, cardigan, august and mad woman
what about peace, everyone hates on peace...its such a great song!
@@phillipsoltys-niemann7957 Just because it's under•Rated, doesn't mean people hate on it?? It is a good song tho !!
my tears ricochet???
i’m late but my favorites are
Exile
My tears ricochet
Seven
Invisible string
Mad woman
peace
hoax
The fact that his album held the number one spot for seven weeks considering lover was released less than a year ago... Her power is insane 😭😭😭
Your opinions on tylor's music are always so similar to mine, even the favourite songs and it's same on all videos like legit Ditto sometimes it feels like someone is expressing my thoughts in words and it's so suprising but pleasantly comforting and nice to be able to relate..it's almost like jinx:)!0:
I don’t listen to a lot of Taylor’s music but she is extremely talented. I was always intrigued by her lyrics.
Taylor is going to be remembered as a music legend.i can see it already.
She already is a living legend.
Reputation has filler... ??*immediately listens to the entire album* ... you sure??
Folklore was the first album I started listening to the lyrics carefully to hear a story behind it. I don't know if it was because I was getting more mature and into music, or the fact it is so well written you can hear a story without focusing too much on the lyrics. Before that, I just sang along, liked the melody. But in Folklore, I even pulled out the dictionary to understand the difficult vocabulary she used. There is a story for every song.
Cardigan had so much It was like peter and Wendy and Tinkerbell.
Peter was in love with Tinkerbell but chased both Wendy and Tinkerbell, but Tinkerbell was the one: " chase two girls, lose the one."
And she is saying that after Peter lost interest in Wendy, he would go back to Tinkerbell:
" I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired. And you'd be standing in my front porch light. And I knew you'd come back to me"
Say what you want about Taylor Swift, but the woman is SO talented
It's because of this album my dad is a swifty
am i the only one who is obsessed with this is me trying?
Me too. But i like mirrorball too. And seven, and august. And all songs in that album
Folklore is amazing and I love it. Taylor is a lyrical genius.
When folklore first came out I really wasn’t the biggest fan of it but after time it grew on me and I love it
I believe that Folklore saved Taylor's career. Even if her previous records (Lover and Reputation) sold really well, people started to doubt her songwriting skills. Folklore showed her fans and the public that she has grown artistically.
okay but apart from the album being her best record, seven august and cardigan are so **cheff kiss** hands down amazing like they stand out AND I'M LITTERALLY CRAZY ABT THEM ALL so yeah💖
IKR
YES!!! I’m so glad you mentioned “Clean”. It’s so slept-on.
*As expected from The Music Industry.*
i thought folklore was my favorite album until she hit us with evermore
honestly i was able to name 40 of her songs simply off the top of my heads in just the first 5 mins of this video across all of her albums even though i’ve only listened to her from folklore and went back to listen to 1989-lover all the way through and i’ve only listen to each of those once fully that in it self is an accomplishment for an artist
I've gone through ups and downs with Taylor but I'm so happy to find her again. Folklore feels like I'm rediscovering her all over again.
