"folklore: the long pond studio sessions" is a 2020 American documentary concert film directed and produced by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, released to Disney+ on November 25, 2020. The documentary is set at Long Pond Studio, an isolated recording studio in a forested area in Hudson Valley, New York; she performs all of the 17 tracks of her eighth studio album "folklore", whilst discussing the creative process behind the songs with her collaborators Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff. Swift made her debut as a film director with the documentary, which is her fourth film to be released on a streaming service, following the releases of "The 1989 World Tour Live", "Taylor Swift: Reputation Stadium Tour", and :Miss Americana".
Receiving widespread critical acclaim, "folklore: the long pond studio sessions" was praised for its music, intimacy, visuals, and insight provided on "folklore", with many critics labeling the film an admirable supplement to the album. It received an approval rating of 100% on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. Accompanying the film's premiere, a live album consisting of renditions from the recording sessions, titled "folklore: the long pond studio sessions (From the Disney+ Special)", was released to music streaming and digital platforms.
Imbued by the sessions, Swift wrote and recorded several new songs off-screen while shooting the documentary. These songs came to be a major portion of Swift's ninth studio album "evermore", which was released fifteen days after the documentary. The film received the Gracie Grand Award for Outstanding Special or Variety.
