Fans of singer Taylor Swift were shocked when they harassed and threatened to burn editor Jillian Mapes, who wrote a review of the star’s new album “Folklore”. The reason is because Jillian Mapes gave the album an 8/10 score, a high score but considered not sparkling enough.
Earlier this week, Jillian Mapes – senior editor of Pitchfork, posted a review of Taylor Swift’s 8th album titled “Folklore”. A few hours later, she suffered fierce criticism from Taylor Swift fans. They were angry that this writer did not properly appreciate their idol’s efforts.
Information about Jillian Mapes’s home address, phone number, home pictures, and portraits were frantically spread by Taylor Swift fans.

They attacked Jillian Mapes online and threatened her
However, it is worth mentioning that Jillian Mapes’ commentary and assessment gave the album “Folklore” 8/10 points. In the article, this writer praised the album as a sweater filled with cinematic love songs and rich in fictional details. The above scores were not given by Jillian Mapes alone, but were given by all Pitchfork staff and then tallied.
Taylor Swift’s fans have continued to harass and threaten Jillian Mapes over the past few days, and threats to burn down this editor’s house appeared on the social networking site Twitter. In addition, she also received death threats and cell phone attacks late at night.
Jillian Mapes said she received many threats on Twitter and they caused her harm. Many criticized and complained that she “should die”. This writer has turned her Twitter account private.
Not only did Jillian Mapes get into trouble, another pop music critic, John Caramanica, also received a lot of criticism and threats of violence when writing comments about Taylor Swift’s new album. Another critic, Junkee Joseph Earl, also faced backlash from fans despite giving the album a positive review, praising “this as one of the best albums of Taylor Swift’s career”.
Taylor Swift has not commented on the threats against music critics from her fans.
Taylor Swift’s new album receives many compliments
But her “fans” seem to want more than compliments
Taylor Swift has just released the album “Folklore”. This album quickly broke the world record for streams by a female artist set on the first day on Sotify (80.6 streams). This achievement surpasses the song “Legends never die” by late rapper Juice WRLD (73 streams) and “Thank u, next” by Ariana Grande (70.2 million streams, set in 2019). This is also the most streamed pop album on its first day of release on Apple Music with 35.47 million streams.
“Folklore” also set records in the US as well as on a number of other digital platforms. “Folklore” is Taylor Swift’s 8th album, released to the surprise of fans because it was conceived and born during the period of social distancing. The album was mainly produced by Aaron Dessner – a member of the band The National, along with Taylor Swift’s longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff.
