Evermore: Taylor Swift's Folklore Sequel Is a Journey Deeper Inward
Finding Her Way Through the Dark: What Taylor Swift's evermore Really Means
Beth Garrabrant
Taylor Swift's evermore, her sister album to this past July's Folklore, is a journey deeper inward. While Folklore explored themes of isolation and escapism, evermore delves into the darker emotions that come with facing our own shadows.
The album opens with the haunting "willow," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. The song is a meditation on the complexities of love and longing, and Swift's vocals are both ethereal and raw.
Other highlights include the anthemic "No Body, No Crime," a tale of female empowerment and revenge; the heartbreaking "Champagne Problems," which explores the aftermath of a failed relationship; and the stunning "Evermore," a duet with Bon Iver's Justin Vernon that is both beautiful and haunting.
Throughout evermore, Swift's songwriting is as sharp as ever. She has a gift for capturing the nuances of human emotion, and her lyrics are both relatable and poetic.
Evermore is a powerful and moving album that showcases Taylor Swift's growth as an artist. It is a journey deeper inward, and it is an album that will resonate with listeners for years to come.
