At the opening of her concert film "Folklore : The Long Pond Studio Sessions" (circa 1:44-1:48), it is shown montages of when Taylor wrote songs during quarantine which eventually led to creation of "Folklore". The far right image shows Taylor using a Yamaha THR10II as an amplifier for her Silvertone guitar while writing the song.
This is the second version of THR due to the Yamaha logo located on the left corner and 10-watt due to the straighter shape and the "Amp" knob which is closer to the "Gain" knob (here we see Taylor twiddling the "Amp" knob located on the far left side of the amp) rather than the 30-watt.
