    Is a beautiful album, the way how Taylor Swift expresses her feelings it’s really magical, this album makes me think about all her career because in some songs we can feel the old Taylor but stronger now, I love this album, it is a really good pice of music, every song tell you a story witch I think is amazing, the album is long but I can understand why.

    This album is just PERFECT. You can listen to it with no skips. Lover has upbeat, slower, happy, sad songs and every single one of them are special and defferent from each other but at the same time they all have something in common, the nice beat and the amazing songwriting!!! That’s the album that not many artists make.

Every single song is amazing, I am so proud of her and it was worth the wait. I Think He Knows and False God are my favourite tracks, Cruel Summer, The Man and Paper Rings are single material. I'm so happy with this album!!

    Taylor Swift in this one, simply at her best, this album is what was needed to prove that she can still write remarkable and heveanly-touched lyrics even if she doesn't have her exes to motivate to write. This simply says she can write all sorts of music whenever it comes to her. 10/10.

    Her best album to date. The albums lyrics are levels above her previous work. I honestly wish the album was longer. I love her personal details embedded in the song. I Forgot That You Existed is the best transition from reputation into Lover. Daylight is the perfect final song. You can tell how much Taylor has grown since 2017.
