Taylor Swift Premieres ‘Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions’ Concert Film on Disney+, Deluxe Edition of ‘Folklore’

In late July, Taylor Swift surprise-released Folklore, a new studio album that showed a significantly different musical side of the global pop star‘s catalog.

For this record, Swift worked alongside Aaron Dessner of The National (co-writing or producing 11 of the LP’s 16 songs), William Bowery (two co-writes), Bon Iver (co-write and a vocal guest spot on one song) and Jack Antonoff, and the result is a hushed record that leans quite heavily into “indie-rock” territory, rather than the polished pop sheen that has exemplified so much of her previous output.

Folklore was met with universal acclaim, and quickly became one of the year’s most successful records, even helping her accomplish something nobody else had done previously in the process.
