Taylor Swift Expands Her Horizons, Adding Magic & Mystery To Folklore — STATE HOUSE SESSIONS

With Folklore, her eighth studio album arriving just eleven months after her last and fourteen years after her first, Taylor Swift continues her reign as a true pop craftsman.

“As a songwriter, Swift has always had more in common with the Goffin & King pros of yesteryear than she has with any one genre or style, forever loyal only to what makes a song jump off the page.”

Taylor Swift's Gilded Age: Evermore Reviewed — STATE HOUSE SESSIONS

State House Sessions reviews Evermore by Taylor Swift

“But while Folklore’s arrangements were often spacious and still – intimate as if they were never meant to know an audience – Evermore is her very own gilded age. It’s ornate, lush and free, wrought with an air of the unpredictable and romantic. It also feels lived in and mournful, expressing uncertainty and nostalgia in ways that perhaps can’t really be conveyed until one has lived long enough to know them firsthand. She’s older now, lightyears removed from the teenager discreetly jotting down song ideas during class, and with that comes a wistfulness that other collections didn’t, maybe even couldn’t, hit upon so fully.”
