Even before the 2020s arrived, Taylor Swiftwas already an established singer-songwriter whose penchant for autobiographical storytelling had resonated with thousands of listeners across the globe. It wasn’t until she surprise-released folklore at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic that fans (both old and new) discovered the full scale of her songwriting abilities, even going as far as writing songs about experiences beyond her own. The record was such a significant hallmark in Swift’s career. It’s no surprise: folklore is one great listening journey, a spectacle of an album that will surely stand the test of time in the years to come. It was so remarkable that it overshadowed its sister album, evermore, which was released the same year. Although considered her most underrated album yet, evermore still stands as one of her greatest. Five years ago, she gifted fans with an album that expanded the world she created in folklore.
