I haven't listened to folklore. I've heard plenty of Swift singles thanks to my mother being a fan, and based on that I'm willing to go into bat for Red as one of the great pop albums. 'I Knew You Were Trouble' is an all timer.
Apparently one of the criticisms of folklore is that she was trying to have one foot in both camps as mainstream pop and indie folk, and it would've been better if she'd gone all the way in either direction. But I should probably not trust what Internet randoms say about Taylor Swift.
