Most of the things I had planned this summer didn’t end up happening, but there is something I hadn’t planned on that DID happen. And that thing is my 8th studio album, folklore. Surprise 🤗Tonight at midnight I’ll be releasing my entire brand new album of songs I’ve poured all of my whims, dreams, fears, and musings into. I wrote and recorded this music in isolation but got to collaborate with some musical heroes of mine; @aarondessner (who has co-written or produced 11 of the 16 songs), @boniver (who co-wrote and was kind enough to sing on one with me), William Bowery (who co-wrote two with me) and @jackantonoff (who is basically musical family at this point). Engineered by Laura Sisk and Jon Low, mixed by Serban Ghenea & Jon Low. The album photos were shot by the amazing @bethgarrabrant. Before this year I probably would’ve overthought when to release this music at the ‘perfect’ time, but the times we’re living in keep reminding me that nothing is guaranteed. My gut is telling me that if you make something you love, you should just put it out into the world. That’s the side of uncertainty I can get on board with. Love you guys so much ♥️

I LOVE YOU TOO TAYLOR ALISON SWIFT.

Maafkan, ane terlalu menggelora dan bersemangat. Duh lebih kerennya lagi nih GanSis, Taylor di tanggal 24 Juli ini juga langsung meluncurkan video clip dari track ke 2 dari album folklore ini, yaitu cardigan. LANGSUNG CEKIDOT GAAAN





Baru beberapa jam dirilis, album folklore juga udah certified diamond di China loh Gan :") Anyway, di metacritic, folklore so far udah dapat rating 9,3. Rating ini merupakan rating tertinggi yang pernah didapatkan Taylor Swift. Berikut review soal folklore nih gan:

These are beautifully turned songs filled with empathy for downtrodden characters battered by life but always ready to fight back, bridging social distance with langorous melodies and deep emotion. The lockdown may have been a terrible moment for music and musicians, but it has resulted in Taylor’s Swift’s most powerful and mature album to date.

This strange summer of arrested development is steadily ending. Folklore will endure long beyond it: as fragmented as Swift is across her eighth album – and much as you hope it doesn’t mark the end of her pop ambitions – her emotional acuity has never been more assured.

There are no pop bangers here, just exquisite, piano-based poetry. There are characters Swift has never introduced before. Some are fictional, it seems; some are inspired by family members; some are people Swift wishes she hadn’t met. Folklore’s songs care less for those showstopping one-liners and more about the small details.

‘Folklore’ feels fresh, forward-thinking and, most of all, honest. The glossy production she’s lent on for the past half-decade is cast aside for simpler, softer melodies and wistful instrumentation. It’s the sound of an artist who’s bored of calculated releases and wanted to try something different.


Untuk nulis folklore, Taylor Swifr mulai di bulan April dan kerjasama dengan Jack Antonoff, Bon Iver, William Bowery, and Aaron Dessner dari the National. Nah, folklore ini sendiri ada deluxe dan standard editionnya, kalau standard edition, cuman bakal ada 16 lagu, kalau di deluxe, akan ada 17 lagu including satu lagu judulnya lakes. Favorit ane so far, exile ft. Bon Iver, betty, dan juga cardigan. Ini full track list dari folklore gan:
