Taylor Swift-Folklore-2020 Pop Country Gatefold 2LP NM-/E
Taylor Swift-Folklore-2020 Pop Country Gatefold 2LP NM-/E Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, Swift released two surprise albums: Folklore, and Evermore. Both explore indie folk and alternative rock with a more muted production compared to her previous upbeat pop songs. The albums garnered widespread critical acclaim. The Guardian and Vox opined that Folklore and Evermore emphasized Swift's work ethic and increased her artistic credibility. Three singles supported each of the albums, catering the U.S. mainstream radio, country radio, and triple A radio. The singles, in that order, were "Cardigan", "Betty", and "Exile" from Folklore, and "Willow", "No Body, No Crime", and "Coney Island" from Evermore. Swift became the first artist to debut a U.S. number-one album and a number-one song at the same time with Folklore's "Cardigan" and Evermore's "Willow". Folklore was 2020's best-selling album in the U.S. with 1.2 million copies. It won Album of the Year at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, making Swift the first woman to win the award thrice. At the 2020 American Music Awards, Swift won three awards, including Artist of the Year for a record third consecutive time. She was 2020's highest-paid musician in the U.S., and the world's highest-paid solo musician.

Please note that all records are conscientiously graded. Every effort is taken to grade accurately, and additional pictures are provided as necessary to prevent any undue surprises. Should you feel that you haven't received the value you paid for, free returns will be gladly accepted. Sealed records must be returned in original sealed condition.
Goldmine standards are used on all records as follows:
Mint (M)-A perfect record in every way. This grading will never be used even on a sealed album. Near Mint (NM or M-) - A nearly perfect record including labels. Shiny vinyl with no visible defects. Labels have no writing or stickers nor are any spindle marks visible. Covers have no creases, ring wear, or splits of any kind and the corners are nice and sharp. *Additionally, I use Near Mint Minus to indicate a nearly perfect record with nice shiny vinyl that may have one or two very fine hairline scratches or some very minor paper scuffs that would have no effect on play. Very Good+ or Excellent (VG+ or E) - VG+ records will show slight signs of wear including light scuffs or fine scratches and the label may have spindle marks. Covers may show some creasing and minor ring wear and cut-outs or punch-holes. Splits less than 1 inch long may also be present. Writing and/or stickers may also be present. *I grade excellent as better than very good plus. In general, an excellent record will have nice gloss with limited play and very few fine scratches and/or light paper scuffs and the cover will have no cut-outs, no punch-holes, no splits and no creases. Very Good (VG) - May have scratches feelable with a fingernail. Most of the original gloss will be gone or it may be evident that the record has been played extensively. The cover will have ring wear and may have significant splitting of the seams.
