Taylor Swift's "Folklore": I am by no means a Swiftie, but I did have the distinct pleasure to attend The Eras Tour in Stockholm, and her performance was awe-inspiring. The album has merit, and the lyrics have depth.  A departure from her usual pop sound, "Folklore" is a beautifully introspective and mellow album that highlights Swift's storytelling prowess.
