Stories From the Woods

Taylor Swift released folklore in July 2020 with only a day's notice, during pandemic lockdowns. Made remotely with Aaron Dessner of The National and Jack Antonoff, it moved toward quiet, indie-folk sounds. Song titles are written all in lowercase, and black and white photos showed Swift in forests.

Instead of only personal songs, folklore tells stories. Three songs, cardigan, august and betty, follow a teenage love triangle from different points of view, with James apologizing to Betty. the last great american dynasty is about Rebekah Harkness, a former owner of Swift's Rhode Island house.

exile is a duet with Bon Iver. A co-writer credited as William Bowery was later revealed as Joe Alwyn. folklore won the Grammy for Album of the Year, Swift's third, and evermore, a sister album, followed months later.
