taylor going from country to pop to folk throughout her career:

me and the girls listening to folklore tonight

i can’t wait until someone smarter than me explains the character arcs and recurring themes in Folklore (2020) to me

Folklore (2020) 

all year I’ve been saying Taylor needs to come save us and here is our lord and savour with a 16 song masterpiece to end the tragedy which has been this year

folklore.

TOO FUCKING LOUD

THE NAME THO ITS SO COUNTRY AND THE PHOTOS ARE SUCH SAFE AND SOUND VIBES

folklore will have 16 songs on the standard edition, but the physical deluxe editions will include a bonus track called “the lakes.” Because this is my 8th studio album, I made 8 deluxe CD editions and 8 deluxe vinyl editions that are available for one week 😄 Each deluxe edition has unique covers, photos, and artwork. Available exclusively at https://store.taylorswift.com 

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 ♥️

Since @taylorswift made the announcement of lover I knew I would make a project about it. I’ve always loved to draw so doing an illustration per each song of the album seemed like a great idea. This album screamed bright colors and sunsets and clouds and positive vibes, so I really tried to capture that. I’ve been hearing this record nonstop since it came out, cruel Summer is definitely my favorite track, I’m thinking of doing a mini comic making like a mashup with getaway car, imagine a music video featuring both songs it would be iconic. Taylor is just such an amazing songwriter that from the very first listen of any of the tracks from lover she paints a picture in your head, I tried to capture the vibes of each song in each illustration, and I’ve been working so hard to represent well each concept correctly, If you like this please tag Taylor and @taylornation in the comments, I’d really love if Taylor could see this. Anyway here’s the first half of the album I’m so excited to do the rest.
