folklore

The Grammy's "Album of the Year" winner in 2021 that combines folk instrumentals with pop sensibilities.

A great intro into the discography of Taylor Swift, a self-referential and diaristic singer-songwriter that often switches genres to form various combinations of pop, country, and folk music. One of her only albums to not be directly autobiographical, folklore is a great way to familiarize yourself with her writing without necessarily having to engage with her public persona or be familiar with her previous works.
