At the minute I'd have to say folklore. I loved it when it came out but it's kind of more poignant for me now. I find myself listening to it more and more now as I'm helping to plan the funeral of one of my grandparents - so it's an album I can just put on and listen to when I need a minute to myself. evermore I do like - but it's taking me more time to like it in comparison to folklore.Do you prefer folklore or evermore? why?
Folklore for sure, I do enjoy evermore, but it doesn't reach the heights of folklore. It hasn't had the staying power for me, I've listened to folklore so many times since it was released and it's still wonderful. I do enjoy evermore, but I've not found myself going back to it as much as folklore. Every song is wonderful on folklore and the more I listen the more I enjoy them.Do you prefer folklore or evermore? why?
folklore, 100%. As soon as I heard it, it became an instant favourite. I listened to nothing else for weeks, memorised every little detail, pored over the lyrics and made up my own little theories for every song. I grew up in Ireland and folklore is such a huge part of our history, so the songs and the ideas she had created with this album made me feel nostalgic for my childhood and incredibly homesick. It’s definitely one of my favourite albums of all time now. Songs like august, mirrorball and the last great american dynasty took me to different places I’d never been before and she really did create a world to escape to when things were dark during 2020. Now the days are getting longer again, it’s become my sunny weather album.Do you prefer folklore or evermore? why?
100% agree with this. I like Champagne Problems, Coney Island, Willow, Gold Rush and that's about it. I need to listen to the rest a bit more and see if it grows on me.I liked evermore, but I just didn’t click with it like I did folklore. It felt a little like she got carried away with the rave reviews folklore got and tried so hard to emulate that again, but the rose tinted glasses along with the short time period between releases meant her quality control wasn’t as strong. It felt like she was trying to make “darker” folklore and it just didn’t work for me. It was too rooted in reality to capture the whimsical nature that made folklore special. I still like it though.
for me it doesn’t- I prefer folklore but I definitely prefer autumn/winter. But I do like how both albums have that seasonal aspect to them.I wonder if liking folklore or evermore more correlates to whether you prefer spring/summer or autumn/winter?
I definitely prefer the warmer months and I am a folklore stan!
I think she’s an incredibly lyricist and she’s got an amazing way of describing a feeling without outright saying what that feeling is. The ability to precisely describe a situation that many people may go through is incredibly and feels that more personable.I'm probably 50/50 on the 2 albums. I think some of the lyrics on evermore are incredible, particularly Tolerate it.
"I made you my temple, my mural, my sky
Now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life
Drawing hearts in the byline
Always taking up too much space or time"
The whole song blows my mind.
Faves on evermore are TI, coney island, champagne problems, ivy, Marjorie, cowboy like me, gold rush, evermore, happiness.
August is actually one of my least favourites on folklore.I'm so controversial. Much prefer Illicit Affairs to it.
Aside from IA, my faves are my tears ricochet, cardigan, exile, American dynasty, hoax, this is me trying and mirrorball.
I don't really have a favourite album, but I least prefer the first 3. Yes, even Fearless!
The thing about Taylor is though, that there's little drops of genius everywhere. And she never gets complacent. She's not perfect, by any means, but she's a very decent person (most of the time) and a remarkable talent.
Love Beyoncé. She was so kind to Taylor after Kanye was an asshole to her.I absolutely adore Beyoncé and I love that she sent Taylor flowers(per Taylor’s Instagram stories). Wonder how Kanye feels about their friendship lol
It's not bad. Genuinely, I love rep and the tour was jawdroppingly good.I don’t play Lover as much as I would do Folklore but I play it 100 more than I do Reputation. You know that’s the album she hit a rough time emotionally. It’s just bad.
In terms of Taylor's standards for songs, it is not amazingIt's not bad. Genuinely, I love rep and the tour was jawdroppingly good.
She hit a rough time, yes, but she found happiness in that time too. It's essentially a love album. With spikes.
Rep has grown on me, after folklore I became a full on Swiftie so gave it another go. I much prefer it to Lover.It's not bad. Genuinely, I love rep and the tour was jawdroppingly good.
She hit a rough time, yes, but she found happiness in that time too. It's essentially a love album. With spikes.
Still can't decide. Both incredible bodies of work!!Do you prefer folklore or evermore? why?
The tour was FIERCE!! I think I’ve said this on the last thread, but honestly that tour elevated reputation for me. I’d rather listen to reputation over lover any day.It's not bad. Genuinely, I love rep and the tour was jawdroppingly good.
She hit a rough time, yes, but she found happiness in that time too. It's essentially a love album. With spikes.
Yes 100% know exactly what you mean about evermore being grown up - it’s almost like Taylor and the characters from folklore have all grown up and they are looking back on their childhood/teen years from the vantage point of adulthood.I preferred folklore initially because I fell in love with it straight away, but evermore has grown on me. I’m hoping it makes sense when I says evermore is folklore grown up?? Folklore makes me feel younger when I loved summer and the sun and sitting on the grass, but evermore hits me on an adulting level and makes me feel cosy. (I suppose that’s the seasonal component). I love both now and listen to an album depending on my mood, but I think folklore takes the edge as the OG album.
