    Este álbum es una magnificencia en toda las expresión de la palabra, en todas sus versiones Taylor nos muestra una parte más íntima de ella y de absolutamente toda su carrera musical. No solo un disco vacío sacado para ventas, es el disco me atrevo a decir que viene a romper récord que sólo tiene 1989 y álbumes exitosos de otros artistas

    Literally no skips. She’s truly one of the greatest songwriters of the decade. Taylor proves that it’s not just about bop songs, or number 1 hit singles. It’s about the content, the lyrics.

    Absolutely beautiful, this tracks keep telling stories from before and NOW, Taylor Swift is in love, and she’s showing it with this 18 tracks, and finishing with a lovely recording of herself encouraging self love. She’s calm with this songwriting, no pressures, stepping into the DAYLIGHT and let it GO

    Excellent song writing, lyrics and production combine the envelop the listener in Taylor’s world, specificity translating to the universal has always been a hallmark of her writing and in this album it is at it’s best. Unbound by genre this album is free and joyous. Easily her best since red.

    Lover is a breathe of fresh air in today’s pop music. Major topics are explored with this album, such as sexism (The Man), politics (Miss Americana), supporting the LGBT community (You Need To Calm Down) and trying to cope with a family member battling cancer (Soon You’ll Get Better). Swift also goes through the different types of love and all its different forms: true love (Lover),Lover is a breathe of fresh air in today’s pop music. Major topics are explored with this album, such as sexism (The Man), politics (Miss Americana), supporting the LGBT community (You Need To Calm Down) and trying to cope with a family member battling cancer (Soon You’ll Get Better). Swift also goes through the different types of love and all its different forms: true love (Lover), struggling with self-love (The Archer), the freedom and joy of moving on from a toxic past love (I Forgot That You Existed). The major highlights that come from Lover, are the deep cuts. Afterglow is a top favorite. Swift’s vocals are powerful and possibly some of her best. The chorus hits and she lets out a belt confessing her fault and wanting to work things out. The lyrics are crafted well, while the beat is impactful while the electric guitar mixes so well with it all. Swift had spoken in the past about refraining from using horns in her music. In False God, she has shown herself why she should never be afraid. The light saxophone is effective and dreamy in this song. A song about getting past hardships and working things out is whimsical and is written so beautifully. Cruel Summer is on the rise and is a fan favorite for a reason. A pop force that will make any listener repeat it for a second time in a row (or even more). The aggression and also vulnerability of the track is powerful. Songs like Cornelia Street and Death By a Thousand Cuts are also highlights that any listener must experience when going through this album. Really sit there and indulge in the lyrics, vocals and instrumentals throughout those tracks. For once, it seems Swift has created an album that will make you refuse to skip a single track. The album is the best pop record Swift has created. Expand

    I love Lover because it represents what Taylor really believes in: love, strength, and equality. She acknowledged her role model and decided to do something about it, and by releasing the album, she empowers people to act like her: love yourself, do what you love and fight for what you want. That being a ’lover’ is how people should perfect themselves !

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lover is definitely worth the 10 points. It's her best work. She really shows her "Lover" side and the album sticks to it's theme very well which a lot of the times artists fail to do. Many of the tracks have a vintage feeling to it which is definitely something new from Taylor. Once again she has released a new album with brand new content which she has not showcased on the previous albums. Like Taylor had said before the release of this album, it's not all gonna be happy love songs and that you can find something romantic in a lot of things like heartbreak, lonliness etc. Taylor managed to fulfill her promise. Afterglow is a song that talks about Taylor owning up to her mistakes in a relationship but how she doesn't want to lose her partner. Archer is a very sad song about anxiety and lonliness, but still it manages to keep the "Lover" theme. Just everything about the songs give that "love" energy.
    The lyrics are just perfect. We have various lyrics that go very deep whether they're about feelings or politics. For example "Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince" which is a one huge metaphore for Americas current political state. Taylor's vocals also are stronger than ever. We can see her showcasing her vocal abilities in tracks like "Afterglow" and "Cruel Summer". Taylor also uses a lot of her falsetto on this album which really fits the songs very well.
    This album deserves all the love it gets because of it's theme, vocals, complexity and lyrics. It's Taylors best album to this date for it's maturity and the ability to paint a picture for the listener.

    Swift's new magnum opus. Contains a few of her best lyrics. Stepped out and said things she was previously very reluctant about. An artistic growth. Sonically, it contains inspirations from 60's to the 00's, but mostly 80's (which she sounds best sonically).

We all know that halft (or even more) of the people that have scored it with a 0 or a 1 or whatever haven't even heard it. If you can't help yourself from doing these type of inmature things, maybe you need help or something. If you don't like an album, you dont listen to it, so you can NOT rate it. And then there're the people that compare her to other singers or even to herself saying that Taylor musisc is trash now, I mean, if you don't like her, just don't listen to it. You might be jelous or something, i guess.
    This is a GREAT album, don't let your hate for Taylor blind you, because it's obvious that you can't handle seeing her having a high score, which is what she deserves.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It’s probably my favourite album ever, the song “Lover” on its own is just beautiful and raw in every way. Anyone rating this album down has no idea of the lyrical masterpieces throughout it. Taylor really put all of her energy and heart into this album and it really shows, congratulations Taylor! Expand

    It’s an incredible, amazing album and deserves way higher than it should be. It’s a shame that other fandoms feel the need to give it a 0 review because they’re mad that Taylor has an amazing album that’s doing well.

    I don't give a 10 just because I didn't like the first single, but all the other tracks are quite remarkable, expecially Cornelia Street.

    This album is incredible. Taylor has poured her heart and soul into these songs which she finally owns herself. This album will change the way you think about love and put you through so many different emotions especially with Soon You'll Get Better, a heartfelt song about her mum being sick. Beautiful album with so many favourites

    I'm sure a lot of us were nervous about how the album would sound but Taylor being Taylor, proved us wrong and made us know who's the older and this generation's songwriter and artist. The only person who is on her level in terms of album quality is probably Adele. She always one ups herself in everything she does and you see that constantly in Lover.

    A wonderful roadtrip to the 80s music, and you can tell that she's really in a better place right now. I'm so proud of how far she has come from the beginning of her career until now. I have so much respect for all the efforts she put on every album she makes and the way she's hands-on the lyrics and production of each song. Favorites are Afterglow, Lover, Cruel Summer, False God, I thinkA wonderful roadtrip to the 80s music, and you can tell that she's really in a better place right now.

People can hate her all they want but she WILL ALWAYS win. Record breaking album of 2019 just did what??! That. Expand

    It’s an album that screams out for an editor, but when it hits the right notes, it demonstrates just why Taylor Swift is one of the biggest pop stars in the world.

    Ultimately, Lover is overstuffed and meandering, but serves as a positive reprieve from her past struggles in the public eye, and represents an artist at the peak of her creativity, power, and—one hopes—continued romantic bliss.

    Lover is a fabulous record, full of super-fun standout pop hits that make your heart burst. It oozes with Swift’s much more palatable upbeat sass. She’s in love and also thinking about different kinds of love.
