Taylor Swift Folklore Grammy Winning Indie Folk CD Very Good Condition Near Mint Case

Dive into the enchanting world of Taylor Swift's acclaimed eighth studio album, folklore, a surprise release that marked a stunning shift to indie folk and alternative rock during the 2020 pandemic isolation. Recorded remotely, this Grammy Award-winning Album of the Year (2021) showcases Swift at her most introspective, weaving fictional narratives, escapism, nostalgia, and romantic tales across 16 captivating tracks (plus bonus "the lakes" on deluxe editions). Departing from her signature pop sound, folklore features mellow ballads driven by soft piano, acoustic guitars, strings, and subtle percussion, earning widespread praise as one of her finest works and a timeless quarantine-era masterpiece.

Produced primarily by Aaron Dessner of The National—who co-wrote and produced 11 tracks—alongside longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff, the album highlights guest appearances like Bon Iver's Justin Vernon on the haunting duet "exile" and contributions from orchestrator Bryce Dessner. Musicians include talented players such as violinist Yuki Numata Resnick, cellist Clarice Jensen, and drummers JT Bates and Bryan Devendorf, creating rich, atmospheric layers. Released via Republic Records, folklore debuted at No. 1, spawned hits like "cardigan," and inspired the intimate Disney+ documentary folklore: the long pond studio sessions.

This used CD is in excellent playable condition: The disc rates Very Good++, with minimal signs of use and no skipping guaranteed. The jewel case is near mint—clean, undamaged teeth, and pristine exterior. Rear insert is near mint, while the front booklet is fair due to tab indentation damage (common from case holders, does not affect readability).
