Just months after releasing her latest album, 鈥淔olklore,鈥 country-pop superstar Taylor Swift released that the famous artist is calling the sister album to her earlier record from July. 鈥淓vermore,鈥 Swift鈥檚 ninth studio album, is a continuation on a more folk-like, softer sound when compared to her wildly successful pop albums over the last decade. A new survey shows how most Swift fans are torn on which of the star鈥檚 now nine albums are their absolute favorite.
, Swift鈥檚 first massive pop album 鈥淩ed鈥 from 2012 is her fans鈥 absolute favorite album. With 15 percent of Swift fans saying it鈥檚 their favorite, it narrowly beats out her follow-up 鈥1989鈥 from 2014 with 14 percent, along with her earlier country-pop record 鈥淔earless鈥 in 2008 with 13 percent. 鈥淩eputation鈥 from 2017 also garnered 13 percent of fans who said it鈥檚 their favorite Swift album, while Folklore (2020), Lover (2019) and the self-titled Taylor Swift (2006) all captured 9 percent.
鈥淔olklore,鈥 released in July, was a big step away from Swift鈥檚 mega-pop albums which defined her sound and the musical lives of millions during the 2010s. It focused on a more stripped-down, singer-songwriter production with an emphasis on storytelling 鈥 an apt recognition of the difficult times presented with the pandemic-induced lockdowns plaguing many across the world. The album was much more focused on introspection and imagination, and the newest sister album 鈥淓vermore鈥 promises to offer a similar sound with a resumption of this stream-of-consciousness, indie theme.
