"folklore" is Taylor Swift's eighth studio album, released in 2020. The album marks a significant departure from Swift's previous work, showcasing a more mature and introspective side to her songwriting. Written and recorded in isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic, the album features a mix of indie-folk and alternative soundscapes that reflect Swift's emotional and creative journey. The lead single, "cardigan," is a hauntingly beautiful track that explores the themes of love and loss, while "the 1" is a nostalgic reflection on past relationships. "august" and "betty" form part of a trilogy of songs that tell a teenage love triangle story from three different perspectives. Other standout tracks include "my tears ricochet," a poignant ballad that explores the pain of lost love, and "exile," a duet with Bon Iver that showcases Swift's versatility as a songwriter. "folklore" received critical acclaim and commercial success, debuting at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album went on to win several awards, including the coveted Album of the Year at the 2021 Grammy Awards. "folklore" solidifies Swift's position as a groundbreaking and multifaceted artist, and demonstrates her willingness to experiment with new sounds and styles.

"folklore" debuted at number one on the billboard charts. Additionally, it won Album Of The Year at the 2021 Grammys - a well deserved achievement.
When Taylor decided that this album needed to have at least 1 Music Video to go with it, she chose "cardigan" to be that song. "cardigan" was the only Music Video for this era. She had to make extra sure that everyone was safe from COVID-19.
She said this about the "cardigan" Music Video:
The entire shoot was overseen by a medical inspector, everyone wore masks, stayed away from each other, and I even did my own hair, makeup, and styling 😂
Overall, this album shows Taylor's incredible ability to write songs from any perspective and shows her immense growth & ability to experiment with new genres and styles.
