evermore

Taylor Swift (2020)

8.7/ 10

“Evermore is the perfect companion to Folklore—and honestly, it might just be even better. Taylor Swift’s ability to craft complex, emotional stories has reached new heights on this album. Each song feels like a beautifully written short story, bringing her indie-folk era to life with haunting melodies and poetic lyrics that will stay with you long after the music ends. From the magical “champagne problems” to the heartbreakingly beautiful “marjorie,” Evermore shows Taylor at her most introspective and vulnerable. Collaborations with Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), Haim, and The National add new textures to her sound, making the album feel rich and multi-layered. But it’s her solo tracks, like “willow” and “cowboy like me,” that truly steal the show, with their intimate and evocative lyrics. The album feels like a deep dive into Taylor’s soul, where every word is meaningful and every melody perfectly crafted. It might not have the same mainstream appeal as some of her earlier works, but it’s this quiet, reflective side of Taylor that truly proves she’s a masterful storyteller. Evermore is a beautiful continuation of her journey into the folk and indie world, and it’s an album that you can get lost in, over and over again. Evermore is everything we love about Taylor Swift—poignant, heartfelt, and absolutely unforgettable. It’s a gift, and we’re so lucky to experience it.”
