For the surprise new album Folklore, Taylor Swift teamed up with The National’s Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff for a collection of somber and bare songs that will be a perfect soundtrack for the approaching Fall and Winter.
The set also finds Swift teaming up with Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon on a track that portrays two estranged lovers, a beautiful duet from both artists.
Showcasing an indie folk sound only hinted at in the past, Folklore combines themes of heartbreak and retrospection through third-person character arcs and plenty of lyrical easter-eggs for longtime fans.
