TS8 came out before WE even started talking about TS8… now that is some REAL SPEED.

I absolutely LOVE secret sessions and I hope she does them in the future, but I cannot express how profoundly relieved I am that I don’t need to listen to folklorebecky1313 talk in vague terms about every song on this album for a month before I get to hear it myself… SO profoundly blessed and thankful

also. folklore is written in lowercase. just as reputation was. the cover is in black and white. like rep’s. everyone please be quiet i’m praying

Honestly, fuck big machine label group. The fact that after Taylor left we’ve gotten 37 songs, 2 albums, a folk album, a documentary, 4 videos directed or codirected by Taylor, AND SHE OWNS all of it in about ONE YEAR! They were holding her back and I’m glad she’s finally free! I’m so happy and proud of her!

I have a feeling this is going to be the main takeaway for everyone, but this truly feels like the album Taylor Swift was born to write. She’s here.

folklore by taylor swift (released july 24, 2020)

A tale that becomes folklore is one that is passed down and whispered around. Sometimes even sung about. The lines between fantasy and reality blur and the boundaries between truth and fiction become almost indiscernible. Speculation, over time, becomes fact. Myths, ghost stories, and fables. Fairytales and parables. Gossip and legend. Someone’s secrets written in the sky for all to behold.

Invisible string is just so Taylor Swift ™ and that's all I can say. The attention to detail? The tongue-in-cheek self references? The the broad view of life's small events? Yes please

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; Aaron Dessner (who has co-written or produced 11 of the 16 songs), Bon Iver (who co-wrote and was kind enough to sing on one with me), William Bowery (who co-wrote two with me) and Jack Antonoff (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 Beth Garrabrant. 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 ♥️
