Yes you read that correctly. Taylor Swift released a new album: folklore. And spoiler alert, it is not like anything she has ever done before.
This album shows another completely different side of Swift: her alternative/indie persona. In my opinion, it is very reminiscent of early Taylor Swift but with a more mature twist. She even has a song with Bon Iver!
As someone who had followed Taylor Swift when I was in middle and high school, I'm not sure how I feel about this album. I had loved Red, Speak Now, 1989 and Reputation. Reputation might actually be my favorite album of hers. But I was not a fan of Lover at all. So I was a little hesitant about this new album.
However, after listening to the songs it has grown on me. Am I a drop dead fan of it? No. But do I hate it? Also no. I'm at a neutral position. I think it is mostly because of the shock of Taylor Swift releasing a new album unannounced.
Not going to lie, this was the last thing I thought I would ever be talking about in 2020 but here we are.
So, go listen and see if indie Taylor Swift is the one for you.
