Never had heard her name before Taylor mentioned her and definitely the GP doesn't know about her either.

Blue is different from folklore. It's much darker.

Proud of Taylor for shining a light on up and coming artists.

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. 

This.

I see a lot of Michelle's influence on Taylor.

Taylor WISHES.

I see more Beach House and even Joanna Newsom in Folklore than Joni tbh... though Seven has a LITTLE bit of Joni in it

 

Mirrorball is PURE Beach House, and I can see hints of Joanna in Cardigan, Exile, and The Lakes

I hear some Joni in Red and Evermore I'd say... not in any of the pop tracks on Red, more in like Sad Beautiful Tragic and The Lucky One

I think she's an influence to Taylor in general, sure, but I don't think she was trying to go for "Blue" with folklore.  

 

I will say that 'peace' is one song that does sound very Joni Mitchell esque in the cadence and delivery.

more like folklore is what blue was trying to achieve

[Mornings]

Trying maybe….. 

lana is the only one who has come close in terms of recognition and style

Joni Mitchell irrefutably influenced Taylor, and any other singer/songwriter to ever exist. She is quite honestly the golden standard, right alongside Bob Dylan.
