Angelo Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 I randomly listened to this album via HomePod recommendation and I'm so amazed by it! I'm a Swiftie and Joni reminds me so much of folklore/evermore eras. Is Joni Mitchell one of Taylor Swift's musical influences? Now... I can't stop comparing Taylor Swift to Joni Mitchell's vocal delivery and songwriting! Do you like Joni Mitchell ATRL?
idkwiam Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 Never had heard her name before Taylor mentioned her and definitely the GP doesn't know about her either. 1 3 25
Jjang Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) the emotional spectrum in her music extends far beyond the bombasticized teenage angst Taylor packages differently in each album so no, Taylor doesn’t achieve what Joni achieved with Blue. Edited July 22, 2023 by Jjang 10 3 2
Kill Me Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 Hejira era Joni's crown slipped a little when this dropped... 4
Born to Run Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) We already knew it's RED? Also fun fact: Joni released eight albums in the 70s, I fear that's what Taylord trying to achieve this decade. Ladies of the Canyon - folklore Blue - evermore For the Roses - MIDNIGHTS Edited July 22, 2023 by Born to Run

GraceRandolph Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 Taylor is much more in the vein of Avril Lavigne and Michelle Branch than Joni Mitchell tbh. I don’t see much Joni in her at all. 5
Rep2000 Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 Joni's Blue was what Taylor did with Red. While folklore is her Carole King's Tapetry. 2 1
StonedSoulPicnic Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 Again and again the same situation Stop making these comparisons. They're lazy. 1
airplane Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) no. taylor copied nfr Edited July 22, 2023 by airplane
wehan6 Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 when will this hag put her music back on spotify? look what you've taken from us joe rogan
popmusicisdead Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 no. everybody knows Ellie Goulding is the modern day Joni Mitchell. 3
Bosque Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 I don't see the Joni Mitchell influences in folklore as much as everyone claims, but it's a great classic album and Taylor has obviously been influenced by her 1
Kern Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 Quote Joni Mitchell Thinks Taylor Swift Has "High Cheekbones" and Not Much Else to Offer as an Actress Quote She also took aim at Taylor Swift, who was floated to play her in a movie, saying: 'I've never heard Taylor's music. If she's going to sing and play me, good luck' 1
NEX Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 No. She hasn't reached Joni's lyrical freedom yet. Lana is a lot closer to Joni than Taylor. Folklore was still super digestible and accessible. Maybe once Taylor gets older and starts truly flopping she may record a proper mature and unconstrained album. At the moment she is still fully in the pop realm and never left it. And this is coming from someone who really liked Taylor since her debut era.
OnlyManInTheWorld Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 I think Taylor wanted to recreate NFR with folklore and Melodrama with Midnights.
conquxror Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 I’ve read a piece before about how “Red” was supposed to Taylor’s “Blue” — and it’s apparently linked with Taylor discovering Joni’s music right after Speak Now and being obsessed with her. Wish I could find it.
lonnie Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 Other than both being blonde blue-eyed white singer-songwriters from North America there's little similarity. 2 hours ago, GraceRandolph said: Taylor is much more in the vein of Avril Lavigne and Michelle Branch than Joni Mitchell tbh.

Fastlane Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 In my opinion, Folklore has more Alanis Morissette influences than Joni.
