    Best tracks: Lover, Afterglow, Soon You’ll Get Better, Paper Rings, I Forgot that You Existed, It’s Nice to Have a Friend Good tracks: The Man, Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince, London Boy, Cornelia Street, Death By a Thousand Cuts
    Fair/“worst” tracks: Daylight, ME!, You Need to Calm Down, I Think He Knows, The Archer, False God
    Please note: Even T-Swift’s quote “worst” tracks    Best tracks: Lover, Afterglow, Soon You’ll Get Better, Paper Rings, I Forgot that You Existed, It’s Nice to Have a Friend Good tracks: The Man, Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince, London Boy, Cornelia Street, Death By a Thousand Cuts
    Fair/“worst” tracks: Daylight, ME!, You Need to Calm Down, I Think He Knows, The Archer, False God

    Please note: Even T-Swift’s quote “worst” tracks outshine and inevitably outsell other artists’ BEST tracks. Most of the tracks listed as the worst on this album were singles and/or promotional tracks that have been overplayed and are lacking compared to the gems later found on this album. Moreover, this is one of the best releases of the year, and climbing the ranks of her best albums to date. A very solid 9/10.    … Expand

    This album is one of the most personal albums for Taylor. As she had said, she has opened her diary metaphorically but in this time she did it literally. Is an album full of love but involves all the types of love. Since the love for your partner to the love for your mom and friends. It's captivating how she tells every story with a well balanced and thoughtful rhythm.

    A great album, musically, lyrically and aesthetically . I think it has "Taylor Swift" album's spontaneity, "Fearless" 's evolution, "Speak Now" 's lyrics, "Red" 's emotions "1989" 's production and "Reputation" 's growth Has a beautiful message My favorite tracks are Daylight and Miss Americana and the heartbreak prince

    Lover is a mixed bag. There are songs for various musical tastes, guaranteeing everyone will like at least one or two tracks of this wat-too-long project.

    the second best track is ”Cruel Summer”
    DON’T SLEEP ON ”It’s Nice To Have A Friend”

    It’s just another bubblegum pop girl album. While it may be thematically vulnerably In lyrics, it just fails to be different from her previous albums. The style of beats and overlaying are overused and not that pleasing, they’re more for a one time use for an aesthetic Instagram video and that’s it.

    On an album premised on leaving the past behind, these are the songs that suggest a way forward. In recent years, it’s been clear that the less Swift sets her own terms, the more challenges she’ll face. And so on “Lover,” she’s back to steering.

    Didn’t think it was possible for Taylor to keep raising the bar of pop music - however she has done it yet again. This will go down in history for sure!

    A bad and cheap pop album. She’s doing worse every year. I expected her to make better pop than what you hear on the radio but her lead singles were already bad and shes so **** corny.

    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.
