Folklore | 8th Studio Album

[starsarouxdmyscars]

AND FINALLY A BON IVER/TAYLOR COLLAB LIKE MY HIGH SCHOOL SELF IS DEAD NOW THANK YOU

[starsarouxdmyscars]

folklore is the most taylor album and she didn’t do it for the charts she did it because she can finally do something for herself and not have how much she sells over her head. she did this for her, not for anyone else. it’s about time this happened for her im so proud of her :’)

[nicollekidman]

also her voice has never sounded like this before..... it’s velvet........

[nicollekidman]

this genre and production fits her so so well it sounds more natural than anything she’s ever done, she slides into this so easily and completely.... taylor swift the woman... oh my god i’m fully like. shivering.

folklore is legitly the album that ISN’T made for commercial value, it’s just a product of art that she’s personally proud of and decided to throw out for personal satisfaction which explains the lack of promotional materials because it doesn’t matter to her
